Nearly 104,000 mail-in ballots were rejected in 2024 because they arrived too late. A new USPS policy initiated under Trump’s first Postmaster General could lead to millions more being rejected in 2026 — and it’s Trump’s rural voters who’ll be impacted. https://bit.ly/42X5dPD

HR 29 DOESN'T secure our border.
What is DOES do is subject people who have been arrested—even if never CHARGED OR CONVICTED—to mandatory immigration detention.
That means someone FALSELY ACCUSED of even taking a candy bar would be detained. Even kids.
Therefore I VOTE NO.

This is what happens when you don't properly evaluate pardon requests on an individual basis. Trump didn't look at prior criminal history, behavior in prison, or risk of dangerousness to the community following release. Now we all pay the price for him using the pardon power as a political reward.

In 2013, Ben Carson was a relatively obscure figure until he spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast and criticized Obama's policies with the president sitting just feet away. Conservatives loved it so much that is launched Carson's entire political career. theweek.com/articles/467...

On Jan. 6, 2021, Metropolitan Police Officer Michael Fanone lay stunned and injured on the ground of the U.S. Capitol building.
He’d been Tasered several times in the back of the neck, and someone tried to rip away his gun. That’s when he heard someone say, “Kill him with his own gun.”

Where. The hell. Was this sort of clarity. From the NYT. Four months ago.
President Trump's inaugural address was a misleading assessment of the U.S. It has a growing economy, falling inflation, slowing illegal immigration, a record-breaking stock market, the lowest levels of violent crime in years and a military that has limited engagement in conflicts around the world.
Trump’s inaugural address centers on pledge to lift a country in ‘decline’
In his second Inaugural Address, the president reprised dark themes from his first and laid out an expansive policy agenda.

The White House ordering DOJ to drop pending prosecutions is a breach of the department’s traditional independence that would be an earthshaking scandal under ordinary circumstances.
To clarify this, Trump commuted the sentences of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers convicted in seditious conspiracy cases. He has pardoned everyone else who was convicted, including those who assaulted the police. And he has ordered DOJ to drop any pending cases.
