BREAKING: House just passed the SAVE Act, requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration and directing states to remove non-citizens from voter rolls.
I am once again asking any of you guys to work one single day in any blue collar job to understand that nobody is working on a factory floor for $13/hr when you can get a much less strenuous job at Dunkin' for $13/hr plus tips.

Public schools are so far off course they’re spending $$$$ litigating insane decisions like this all the way to the 9th Circuit instead of admitting they were wrong and focusing on education.
How many teachers could @CapoUnified hire with the $$ spent on this litigation?

Are you seriously trying to convince us that Congress is capable of negotiating tariffs on behalf of Americans and American business? You have to be joking. Please tell me you’re not serious. You of all people know Congress would sooner sell America to China or the EU to stick it to Trump.
The U.S. Treasury couldn’t account for $4.7 trillion in payments.
Medicare sent $2.7 trillion overseas—to people who weren’t even eligible.
The Pentagon lost track of $2.5 trillion.
Social Security was sending $100 billion a year to people with no verifiable identity.
The Department of Education blew $50 billion a year pushing gender ideology on kids.
USAID spent another $50 billion trying to export that ideology worldwide.
That was over a third of the national debt—gone—in just three weeks.
This wasn’t incompetence. It was fraud. Blatant, systemic, and defended by the left.
@thehill Ellen Mitchell is a lying hack. 250th anniversary of the army parade predates Trump’s presidency. This sentence is buried toward the end of the article. ‘Planning began last year and the event has since expanded, with the number of units participating now increased.’
Look at the headline.
Trump's birthday happens to also be the United States Army's 250th birthday.
Modern American "journalists" make Josef Goebbels look like an amateur.
@Kramaramb@GoodMoneyBunchy@SarahisCensored He didn’t act in self-defense. Not legally, not morally, not even in common parlance.
“Self-defense” doesn’t simply mean “the other guy touched me first.” It means you are defending yourself from harm. From the facts available, he was 100% NOT defending himself from harm.
Anyone who thinks this is “self defense” is laughably ignorant.
In Texas, the standard is the same as most other places: for self-defense, in order to use deadly force, you must be in “reasonable fear of death or serious bodily injury.”
People think grabbing someone’s arm entitles you to kill them? That’s insane.
@Forreignss @shahrezbharwana@HHH816@captaincupkicks Cruise does all his own stunts, but he does them the same way a stunt performer would. Which is with a wire. You think stunt performers don’t have any safety requirements?
What they had been building was a community. A community in which people went to every imaginable length to help out every single person they could—a place where international trade policy and CDOs were mere distant thoughts.
But as is they way the world works now, small towns in small empty states, a hundred years of community building or not, are just simply a sacrifice the powers that be are willing to make in exchange for a mere few more bips.
My papa was forced into retirement in 2011, and my nana stayed working at the school for the next decade. My papa though, wasn’t quite willing to throw in the towel. He tried increasing the size of his herd of brangus, but alas, cattle farming has been a cash-negative endeavor for several decades.
Like Whirlpool all the other manufacturing plants. There was no work to be found for the thousands of people combined plant workers that had been laid off in the wake of 2008. Every single way of making an honest living had up and gone with the wind to Mexico and East Asia.
There was nothing left but being a Gas station, Dollar General or Walmart cashier, and Walmart paid $7.25 an hour back then.
But you’d be hard pressed to even work at a gas station. There are only two gas stations immediately around that 1,200-person town; and one of them just went out of business, the other is owned by a Pakistani family.
As a consequence, the average household income in that town is now ~$30,000 a year. 90% of the children are on free and reduced lunch, most of the families that remain are on state assistance, and opioid and meth use has reached unprecedented rates.
And yet, “learn to code” they contemptuously sneer, all while gleefully kicking the door wide open to a swarm of cheap, barely-proficient immigrants, tanking the tech labor market behind everyone’s back.
