Excellent work by @RepJeffries to ensure this young girl can finish her studies and be safe once again.

We have secured the release of a brilliant and caring 18-year old teenage girl held in ICE custody for months.

She is now back on track to graduate from High School.

Alligator Alcatraz is closing after one year and wasting $1B to house 1400 immigrants. That's an eye-popping $714,285 per occupant. Everything this administration does is filled with fraud and waste. https://t.co/3DoG1YTjTh

Nearly 590,000 people paid $59 million in deposits for the Trump gold phone, yet a year later not a single device has shipped and the launch date has disappeared from the website, per YF

Trump Mobile’s updated terms reportedly now state deposits do not guarantee a phone will ever be produced or made available for sale.

GOP Rep. Jen Kiggans says she agrees that Hakeem Jeffries has “cotton-picking hands”

“Get your cotton-picking hands off of Virginia.”

Reporter: More than 45,000 ballots have been returned in Louisiana. What happens to those?

GOP Gov. Jeff Landry: Oh, those ballots are discarded.

Reporter: You say that like it’s not a big deal.

Landry: Well, it’s not a big deal. It’s not my fault

@rob_in_miami I mean ok, one just won the Football Writers Player of the year and is probably the PFA player of the year.

Latest issue 🚨

Debbie Wasserman Schultz had been indicating she wants to run in the plurality-Black #FL20. I break down why she should NOT make such a move.

She needs to show solidarity with the Black community and run in the #FL22 instead #flapol

We make your childcare cheaper by investing in local providers.

We can make sure most families pay no more than $10 a day, and no one pays more than 7% of their income. 

That bill is from @AOC and @SenWarren.

the CATO Institute.. a libertarian think tank funded by the Koch brothers.. just published a study showing immigrants paid more in taxes than they received in benefits every single year from 1994 to 2023..

not a left-wing university.. not a Democratic PAC.. the Koch brothers' own research institute..

they reduced the deficit by $14.5 trillion over 30 years.. they earn less per hour but work at higher rates.. which means higher per capita income.. which means higher taxes paid..

the country spent 30 years being told immigrants were draining the system.. turns out they were funding it.. and the people who told you that knew the numbers the whole time

El Papa cuando le preguntan su postura sobre la migración: “Yo cambiaría la pregunta: qué hace el norte global para ayudar al sur global en su situación que les obliga a migrar”

This Pope...wow. Love it.

NEW: Pope Leo XIV says that the Catholic Church’s teaching on sexual ethics must be less prioritized over “greater, more important issues.”

“We tend to think that when the Church is talking about morality, that the only issue of morality is sexual. And in reality, I believe there are much greater, more important issues, such as justice, equality, freedom of men and women, freedom of religion, that would all take priority before that particular issue.”

Lionel Messi has bought UE Cornellà, a club based in Catalonia that plays in the Spanish 3rd division.

UE Cornellà have an ultras group called “Cornehools,” known for its anti-fascist and anti-zionist stance. It is common to see Antifa and Palestinian flags in the club’s stands.

@SteveSr453211 @Pontifex Pretty sure as a Catholic posting the above is a sin and pretty close to the line to go down under....

Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE
