Don't be fooled: The Laken Riley Act is "Show Me Your Papers" 2.0, supercharged & nationwide. It's a blueprint for turning America into a police state where anyone can be detained on suspicion alone. This isn't just unconstitutional—it's un-American.

This:
The Supreme Court ruled corporations were allowed to donate unlimited amounts to politicians in 2010.
It only took them 6 years to take complete control of the government and 15 years to mark sure their voices are the only ones the masses ever hear again.

As DHS secretary Kristi Noem will be responsible for FEMA
After a record breaking flood, As governor, she left her own constituents, high and dry w/out National Guard assistance, but she did send the national guard to the Texas Mexico border 1200 miles away at taxpayers expense—5 times!

It’s clear that more time is needed to find an American buyer for TikTok.
We will continue working to keep TikTok alive, protect content creators’ livelihoods, protect against CCP surveillance, and protect national security.
I will work with the Trump Admin to find a solution.

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

Smith is not making the claim a jury would have convicted. He is restating the standard prosecutors must meet before they can indict, that he believed there was sufficient evidence to obtain & sustain a conviction. The decision is left up to the jury. Justice is done when they have that opportunity.

Hegseth is trying to be a smooth-talker today during his confirmation hearing…
But he’s sexist, against diversity in our armed forces, and is unqualified to serve as Secretary of Defense.
That’s the substance over style that the Senate must focus on.
