President Donald Trump and the Republican Party began a renewed push for the passage of the SAVE America Act! The bill would require people to provide proof of citizenship when registering to vote and approved identification when voting in all 50 states. THERE ARE TOO MANY RESTRICTIONS TO VOTE!

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Mayor Mamdani chats with New Yorkers while walking the six miles from City Hall to Gracie Mansion, fulfilling the promise he made in his inauguration speech to “be outside” as Mayor — “because this is a government of New York, by New York, and for New York.”

Donald Trump must be removed from office for threatening war crimes and genocide. Speaker Johnson: bring the House back into session. Invoking the 25th Amendment and impeachment must be on the table, but Congress should also move on a War Powers resolution to stop Trump.

He still needs to be removed from office. A war powers resolution will not suffice. He circumvented Congress to start the war. He circumvented them on tariffs and appropriations. Why anyone thinks he'd adhere to a Congressional war powers resolution is beyond me.

Set aside for the moment that non-citizen voting is neither an actual problem nor something almost anyone supports. This is the MAGA worldview in a nutshell: “If the people I don’t like get what I have, I won’t be special anymore.” We should all be better than this.
Basic Bitch Mike Lee on TwiXter:

If everyone is given the benefit of U.S. citizenship, then your U.S. citizenship becomes less meaningful.
If noncitizens are allowed to vote, they can cancel out your vote.
This is why the Senate must pass the SAVE
America Act.

Pam Bondi ranks among the country's worst attorneys general, but it appears she was fired for not being bad enough. Trump's displeasure didn't owe just to her embarrassing bungling of the Epstein files. By many reports, he was livid over her lack of success in prosecuting his enemies.

They knew this policy was so unconstitutional that they kept the “legal memo” authorizing this practice hidden, wouldn't let physical copies of it circulate, and a whistleblower had to alert Congress about its very existence.
Screenshot of a post by Acyn quoting an exchange between Lyons and Senator Blumenthal. Lyons cites case law allowing entry into a home based on an administrative warrant; Blumenthal responds that this does not override the Fourth Amendment or allow ICE to break down doors without a judicial warrant. Below is a C-SPAN image of a congressional hearing with an ICE official testifying.

I honestly can’t remember any prior AG being this overtly disrespectful in a Congressional hearing. They really think they’re never going to be in the minority. Maybe I memory holed it, but personal attacks on members of Congress during testimony just seems so out of bounds.

Completely wrong headline from CNN. The report from a 2006 police interview with Trump ANSWERS questions. Specifically, it proves that (no surprise) Trump is lying when he says he had no idea what Epstein was up to. CNN should not perpetuate the lies.

Congress has the power to subpoena witnesses, hold public hearings, and establish an independent commission to review the Epstein files. What remains unclear is whether lawmakers have the political will to use those tools.
