“Merrick Garland is restoring asylum protections to people who are victims of domestic abuse and gang persecution...This is such a critical step, both in practice to protect these people, but also symbolically...” - @GregChenAILA https://t.co/hmadY3JFjG
After terrorist assholes hit the World Trade Center, 2,606 people died. The country came together: Democrats AND Republicans. Now 57% of Republicans call 176,000 dead from COVID-19 "acceptable losses?" What happened to you, America?
What will future generations say of our decisions today?
President Ronald Reagan asked that 36 years ago.
As we look to the week ahead, his words are as timely as ever.
The courage of a 13 year-old to speak on national TV about his stutter couldn’t stand in starker contrast with the 74-year-old Trump mocking Biden’s stutter.
R turned their party over to Trump w/no qualms reversing positions cause they don't believe in anything other than getting rich and keeping power. It's a smash-and-grab operation — smash democratic norms and institutions, and grab the limelight and cash

Former DHS chief of staff Miles Taylor recalled on MSNBC that Trump “wanted to see if we could sell Puerto Rico, ‘could we swap Puerto Rico for Greenland,’ because, in his words, ‘Puerto Rico was dirty and the people were poor,’” confirming the NYT report from 2019.

Obviously Trump's DHS doesn't give a shit about the Law or Order as they blatantly defy and declare a US Supreme Court decision has no basis in law.

This 👇🏽from March 3, 2020. Feds and DHS Act.Sec., Wolf, announced to Congress that they would appeal Fed Court Decision which declared Cucinelli's appointment illegal. Basically says, "we have lawyers that said we could." https://t.co/aXdAfEQBxj
Now, after GAO found that both Wolf and Cuccinelli's are unlawfully serving, the DHS says the GAO's finding is "baseless."
We wholeheartedly disagree with the GAO’s baseless report,” the spokesman said.

Federal Judge wonders how the heck a Homeland Security official in the Trump Admin can declare a US Supreme Court decision “has no basis in law” and thus, ignore it?

The target date for us to all send in our mail-in ballots should be Oct. 13 but NO LATER THAN Oct. 22nd, to account for USPS delays.
PASS IT ON TO EVERYONE.
“18 USC §1703:
