Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

Not a bad idea -- if House Republicans refuse to hold town halls in their congressional districts, local Democrats should set one of their own up.
Every Democrat who lost in a district in 2024 should hold a town hall if those Republicans won't.

When the baby is born disabled? Or is it later when they need a 504 or free school lunch? Or when they identify as LGBTQ or trans? Or is it later in life when they flee their own country trying to provide a better life? Or when they need Medicaid?

Honest question to those who say they are pro-life but are silent as the US targets the DOE, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and programs supporting the most vulnerable. At what point do you no longer care? Is it when the baby is born non-white or female? When the baby is born to immigrants?🧵

Trump essentially turned on Euro allies and Ukraine. Called Zelensky a dictator (parroting Putin) and accused Zelensky of starting the war with Russia which is so wildly ridiculous that I don’t even know what to say. Putin cannot be trusted - but then - neither can Trump. Will not end well
