Sorry, @RepOgles I don’t believe for a SECOND that a “staffer” wrote that post.

For years, researchers and advocates have documented the barriers students from immigrant families face in pursuing higher education.

But the Trump administration’s mass deportation campaign has introduced new challenges and fears, even for many immigrants who are legally in the U.S.

@newshourfred reports from Minnesota, where federal authorities carried out a sweeping immigration enforcement operation earlier this year.

🚨🇦🇱JUST IN: More than 100,000 citizens are protesting in Tirana, Albania, against the controversial resort project linked to Trump-Kushner, which is planned to be built in the south of Albania.

⚡️The project has received approval from the Albanian government, but the protesters are demanding its cancellation over its suspicious offshore financing, as the project would destroy the ecosystem in a protected area and landscape

NEW: The following billboard followed Ken Paxton today while he was on his way to the White House to meet President Trump.

This played on repeat showing Paxton’s misdeeds on the way to and outside of the White House on a mobile billboard.

Pay attention to Russia’s expanding missile attacks on Ukraine and how they are deliberately timed to cutbacks in U.S. air defense support.

Pete Hegseth has never been fit to run the Pentagon. This week proves it again.

He just blocked nine Navy officers from promotions they earned. A board of senior admirals picked them on merit.

Three are women.

Two are Black men.

The result is a 22-person admiral list with zero women, in a Navy that’s 21% women and 38% sailors of color.

Pentagon rules are clear. A Secretary can only pull an officer for serious failings of character, conduct, or competence. These officers had none. Their crime?
Attending a diversity event years ago. One was flagged for recruitment outreach she did TWENTY YEARS AGO.

Nearly 60% of the senior officers Hegseth has fired are women or Black.

He purged a chairman of the Joint Chiefs.

He pushed out the first woman ever to lead the Navy.

And he won’t explain himself. Not to Democrats. Not even to Republicans.
Then he reportedly tried to muscle his own aide onto the list. A guy who didn’t even qualify.

So let’s be honest about what this is.

He isn’t raising the bar. He’s rigging it.

He isn’t picking the best. He’s picking his own. Every officer who serves with honor now has to wonder if merit even matters anymore.

This man should never have been confirmed. He should not be Secretary of anything. He is gutting the finest military on earth to fight a culture war. Our service members will pay for it. So will our security.

He should resign in disgrace. https://t.co/PMUJ3UtrCW

🚨 WTF?! Donald Trump bizarrely rambles about millions of murderers pouring out of foreign mental institutions.

He then completely loses his train of thought, awkwardly trying to spell the word dumb to insult Democrats. The US President is in severe cognitive decline.

I have some questions for Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

Trump is putting his personal henchman in charge National Intelligence.

This isn't about keeping Americans safe -- it's about weaponizing intelligence against Trump's enemies.

No Dem should vote to extend FISA 702 without a real, iron-clad warrant requirement.

[Retro Coast @RetroCoast]

@ShelbyTalcott Bill Pulte has zero experience to be Director of National Intelligence

Not a veteran.

What he DOES have is loyalty to Israel. That's his only "qualification"

I wish @CNN would have the guts to make a documentary about the Jan 6 people Donald Trump pardoned and the crimes they committed or planned AFTER being pardoned. It is a shocking list for anyone who researches this.

WAKE UP, AMERICA.

The Supreme Court majority just admitted it’s a PARTISAN operator willing to TORCH the rule of law to advance its ideological agenda.

In an unprecedented move with a brief UNSIGNED order, it: 1) IGNORED the central basis of the lower court’s decision, 2) DISREGARDED its own precedent (that it had assured just weeks ago remained good law), and 3) REWARDED Alabama's defiance of a federal court order.

All to help Republicans squeeze out one more seat in the midterms. And on Election Day for millions of Americans no less!

This is sick.

New reports reveal GOP Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp sold 3 lakefront properties shortly after he became governor.

The properties had been listed for over a decade, and the people who bought the properties were later given valuable government contracts and appointed to high-ranking positions.

Sen. Jacky Rosen slammed Marco Rubio after he denied "partying" while Jared Kushner handled high-stakes negotiations abroad.

"He should have been negotiating. He's the damn Secretary of State. He's the one we confirmed. He wasn't doing his job as far as I'm concerned."

Rubio was at UFC event while Kushner was in Middle East.
