This new #ExecutiveOrder is not just about disenfranchisement - it threatens birthright citizenship. The order does NOT indicate that birth certificates are among accepted documents to prove citizenship.

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now.
Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.
Don’t forget this.

Kirk’s alleged assassin said he targeted the conservative activist because he “spreads too much hate” and “I had enough of his hatred,” new court documents show.

Senator #TedCruz, the public seeks assurance from its elected leaders and all you can do is whinge about "partisan finger-pointing" in the wake of this tragedy in Texas when asked about what could/should have been done differently after federal cuts prevented any of it from being carried out?

With this ruling, the Supreme Court is giving the green light for this Administration to literally #decountrify people. I did not read the arguments, but besides the due process argument, I sure as hell hope the 8th Amendment was brought up.

#AmazingGrace was written by a slaver who eventually realized the error of his ways and became a passionate abolitionist. We can only hope for such a turnaround with this lot.
Otherwise, yeah - it's just more performative BS not unlike wearing a cross necklace at pressers.

Heartbroken. Hearing this was not a good end to the night. I will remember these roles the most - Jim Morrison, Chris, Iceman, and my personal favorite Doc Holliday. Nobody who has ever watched Tombstone can deny that he stole every single scene he was in.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is truly ugly and venomous. The only thing I feel she actually represents is the worst elements of American bluster that get far too much airplay nowadays.
