Three Arrested and Charged for Disrupting Border Wall Construction Video posted to Instagram showed protesters dressed as birds and jaguars, both of which live in the area and rely on the borderlands as their habitat, walking around a worksite along the border wall’s construction zone.

Extraordinary, powerful and heart-wrenching. Active duty Marine Colonel Zach Schmidt, speaking in his personal capacity, about Khalil, an Afghan national whose family helped U.S. forces in Afghanistan. Khalil was deported by the U.S. on Friday to a conflict zone.

I spoke with Mitch McConnell today for about 20 min. He apologized for not convicting Trump for January 6th and said that Lindsey Graham is a sissy who is too scared to bring Russian sanctions forward despite promising it for a year. It was a pleasant conversation

This is so important. EV charging is a major source of the demand flexibility we need in the grid to integrate renewables and reduce solar curtailment. The sooner dynamic prices are passed on to consumers across Europe, the better!

It’s hard for many younger queer people now to imagine living in the closet. But that’s how most people lived back then, unless they were visibly gender non-conforming and, even then, they’d lie. Kids come out in middle school now—something that was unimaginable not long ago. We’re not going back.

The SAVE Act would solve a “problem” that is virtually nonexistent, while preventing millions of Americans from being able to use their voice and vote in our elections. I voted against the bill and am urging my Senate colleagues to reject it. Check out this explainer ⬇️

"Show them you're not afraid. Do it for the country. For the Constitution. For your family. For yourself. Do it for your freedom. While you still can." This is excellent. Every Dem strategist who thinks there's risk in engaging these debates should watch it for guidance.

The Trump regime has created a system to search national citizenship data. Tools like this are used by authoritarian regimes to surveil people, suppress voters, and punish dissenters. This is another alarming and likely illegal development.

The Trump administration is building a national citizenship data system
The Department of Homeland Security, with help from DOGE, has rolled out a tool that purports to be able to check the citizenship status of almost all Americans.
