“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”
In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

Millions are being forced to cancel health insurance because it’s unaffordable. That pressure doesn’t stop with them; it spreads. When people drop coverage, everyone’s rates go up.

Since there has been a lot of talk of denaturalizing people. This case is worth remembering: Trop v. Dulles. The Supreme Court is basically saying making someone stateless is a fate worse than death. ⚖️ I taught this in Trump 1.0. It's back on my syllabus. 📜 supreme.justia.com/cases/federa...

Absolutely. I fear the failure to do that so far is going to be looked back on as a huge missed opportunity. Dems have gotta change and old rules gotta go.
We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.
A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.”
Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

There aren’t anywhere remotely close to 100 million aliens in the US, undocumented or naturalized.
DHS now says it's aiming for 100 million deportations. In an amazing coincidence, there are 104 million Black and Hispanic people living in the U.S. right now.

This should not be shrugged aside. They have stopped with the fake 22 million illegal immigrants things and are flat out saying we want to deport 10's of millions of citizens and legal residents from "third world countries" Basically they are advocating removing 1/3 of the population on a gov site.
