Grijalva: I was looking at the example of now-Representative Walkinshaw from Virginia, who was elected two weeks ago Tuesday. The following Wednesday—less than 24 hours later—he was sworn in, with unofficial results.
So for me, apparently the rules have now changed in just two weeks.

I have been the subject of many spurious accusations and politically motivated attacks, but this one is in a class by itself. According to Tulsi Gabbard — the nation’s top intelligence official — my refusal to post on Twitter is being reviewed by the Department of Justice as evidence of wrongdoing.

With IRS commissioner Billy Long saying the Direct File program is "gone," revisit our 2019 story about how TurboTax owner Intuit spent two decades fighting to prevent Americans from filing their taxes online for free:

Guys, I know some of you are skeptical about the new event space but the gold-leaf Trump-pubic-hair-signature-embossed toilet paper in the bathrooms will be amazing
Trump cut Medicaid. But good news! He's also building an expensive new 90,000 square foot ballroom at the White House so he can host soirees with his rich friends!

The Overton Window has shifted all the way to ban all non-white people from coming to America. It was never about illegal immigration.

This should lead to criminal charges against Leland Dudek and the people at DOGE who did this. I’m deadly serious about it. They committed fraud by deliberately marking people dead who were alive.
Exclusive: Immigrants falsely labeled dead by the Social Security Administration are showing up at field offices with documents proving they are alive, leading staff to reinstate nearly three dozen people over the past week, according to records obtained by The Post.
Immigrants prove they are alive, forcing Social Security to undo death label
The immigrants who have requested a reversal and been reinstated in Social Security databases include a Haitian asylum seeker and a minor child.

Put aside the lies and the open defiance of the Supreme Court, as well as the cruelty, and ask yourself: who talks like this? This is the *official* account of the *White House* - is it being run by a six year old?

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!
