make van hollen the dem senate leader
Don't forget: President Trump relentlessly attacked @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social & did everything to stop his win.
It's funny how his tune changed when confronted with Mamdani’s actual focus on affordability — something Trump claims to care about.
Let this be a lesson: Always stand up to a bully.

So "taking jobs from Americans" is now a reason for DHS to brutalize people
Bovino: "Whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."

This is tragic. The article mentions SB1 and declining birth rates, but I also want to know how much of the decrease is from international students either choosing not to come or having visa issues
