Weird that serious conversation around Latinos & Trump for last few years focused almost entirely on their polling, and what that polling represented, not on fact that Trump has policy of terrorizing Latinos that continues to tear apart many of lives, while generally crushing freedom & opportunity.

They know voters hate this shit. So they wait until Blanche has the votes for Collins to come out against him. So she can claim to be a moderate. So she gets reelected. So she can spend the next two years voting for more Todd Blanches.

Let’s not forget that this illegal Reflecting Pool indictment was also overseen by Todd Blanche. He could have stopped this at any time, but he was a corrupt and willing accomplice to this fraud upon the court. How can any decent person possibly vote for this man as AG?

Sometimes it’s the smaller stories that stick with me. During the pandemic, Katie Miller became close to Dr Fauci, who gave her guidance and advice on her pregnancy. According to his private diary, they became quite close. But now she has to denounce him. www.thebulwark.com/p/a-portrait...

Has the Supreme Court ever previously struck down all or part of a duly-passed, constitutional law on the grounds that Justices feel like the law achieved its goals and feel like the goal would stay achieved without the law so therefore it shouldn’t be in force anymore? Because that’s legislative.

There’s no such thing as “birthright citizenship for illegal aliens.” The U.S. Constitution is abundantly clear that if you are born in the United States, you are a citizen. Trying to take away citizenship from Americans is not only extreme, but also unconstitutional.
