Some use AI to mimic Univision or Telemundo reporters. Others quietly spread lies about immigration and elections.
This disinformation is targeting Latino communities.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Why is the federal government blowing over $800K on a huge military plane to deport just 79 immigrants to Guatemala, when a regular flight used to cost us $100K?
It’s all for show! And the truth—they weren’t rapists, murderers, or criminals.

So when we remove birthright citizenship can we go by the mother? Because:
Don Jr was born in 1977
Ivanka was born in 1981
Eric was born in 1984
Ivana became a US citizen in 1988.
Barron was born in March 2006
Melania became a US citizen in July 2006.
Trump’s entire family would be deported.

Medicaid & Medicare have a 2-3% overhead. For-profit health insurance has a 20% overhead & near unlimited on drug costs.
Both provide the exact same doctors & meds. The only difference is for profit had massive markup to pay for CEO bonuses & private jets.
We need universal healthcare. Period.
