Dem woke grandma (or damn woke grandma) apparently - that's what I hear from others who somehow think that's an insult.

I don't want to write to the men responsible for this horrific situation. But I do want to write to Jane Doe and tell her how brave I think she is, how tough I think she is, and how much I respect what she's doing. She will make a difference and she should be very proud of that.

I am opposing Section 219, which would integrate our military with Israel’s. The United States does not have this arrangement with any other country in the world. We need to stand up for American sovereignty and strip this provision from the final NDAA.

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.
When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

Trump has a rich crony who doesn’t like Bombardier, so he wants to put them out of business resulting in 3,000+ Americans losing their jobs in red states. Because he cares more about his billionaire friends than American workers. If only workers in those states realized it.

Trump called for a national boycott of a Canadian company that employs hundreds of Americans at plants in Kansas and Indiana, which pays their bills and feeds their families. Which would put them all out of work if successful. On Labor Day. Because he’s mad at Mark Carney.
