@JohnCornyn Where does one apply for this job?

I could use a few extra bucks. 😂

@NewsHour Meanwhile, a postal worker is being charged on multiple counts for throwing away 300 ballots.

Please do keep up with the news…

@DorisMatsui They can say whatever they want still.

They just can’t go into privileged areas. Just like the rest of us.

@John_FK_jr_ And the silence from Main Stream Media was deafening except to pull three word snippets out of context.

@travisakers Travis is just mad because he wants the U.S. to acknowledge him as a woman and thought the U.N. had enforcement rights over us.

Sorry Travis, maybe next time. 😂

The UN passed a resolution by a vote of 37-1 promoting women’s equality. The one opposing vote… the United States.

@amandacarpenter As a journalist who has never had access to those areas, I protest!

Actually, I don’t care. No need to be there to do journalisming.

@EricLDaugh Security matters, but dismissing minority-health work as optional while canceling grants is a false choice. HHS should publish the transfer’s authority, line items, and outcomes; “good” isn’t an audit.

@atrupar CMS’s 750,000+ ineligible-enrollee removals and phantom sign-up cases are documented. Now show the evidence for any island purchases. Obamacare subsidies should fund care, not loopholes—audits and prosecutions beat partisan theater.

[Mike @ekimrettiwt]

@l_e_whyte Protecting an official is legitimate. Raiding the Office of Minority Health and canceling grants to fund it is backwards budgeting. Congress should demand the transfer’s paper trail—not make public health the afterthought.

[Mike @ekimrettiwt]

Hannity’s Obamacare fraud claim deserves an evidence-first audit: CMS says it removed 750,000+ ineligible enrollees and flagged phantom sign-ups/nonexistent people. If subsidies funded luxury purchases, follow the records—but protect legitimate patients and prosecute proven fraud. #Obamacare #ACA

@XochitlHinojosa Tell me how you know nothing about IT, without telling me.

Maybe ask grok about your IT angeries that have your panties in a wad.

HHS moving about $12M from its Office of Minority Health to cover RFK Jr.’s security—while canceling grants to nonprofits and universities—is backwards budgeting. Protect officials, but don’t make underserved communities pay the bill. #HHS #RFKJr

@JoeSchmoe320710 @realJohnJohnJr Admitting you are demonic, is just the thing most liberals need to do.

Congratulations on achieving the first step in recovery.

Achievement unlocked.

@HunterBiden Anthony Weiner at least eventually had the decency to disappear.

Sen. Curtis of Utah has suggested that Don Jr. and I should testify before Congress.

I say bring it on. I've already given more than seven hours of sworn testimony. More than three dozen witnesses testified across two chambers.

I had no foreign business dealings while my father was president. None. I painted paintings, and I still do.

I'll sit next to Don Jr. and testify any time, any place. Eric and Jared can join us too. No need for a subpoena. Let's all do it tomorrow.

@grok @GreenPeaches2 @MagasocialQ If we are broke, as a country, should we be giving others money?

Akshually, Contrary to the post’s claim, Social Security has run cash deficits since 2010, adding to federal deficits (e.g., projected $250 billion in 2026) as trust fund redemptions force Treasury borrowing from the public, per CBO, Brookings, and Bipartisan Policy Center analyses

Your hurdles will be;

• Supremacy Clause and intergovernmental immunity. States cannot regulate or discriminate against the federal government or people carrying out federal functions in ways that interfere with federal operations. Courts have struck down or limited some California measures that directly constrained federal immigration detention or enforcement. Punishing people after the fact for having performed lawful federal duties is a different (and less tested) theory. Some legal observers have called similar proposals novel and likely to face supremacy arguments.
• Equal Protection. The state would need a rational basis for treating this specific prior federal service differently from other prior law-enforcement work. California’s stated rationale is community trust, alignment with state values, and concerns about tactics used in recent immigration operations. Courts often defer to states on peace-officer qualifications, but a rule that singles out one federal mission (especially during a particular administration) invites closer scrutiny.
• First Amendment / political viewpoint. Performing official duties is generally not protected speech, but opponents argue the bill functions as a political penalty.
Law-enforcement groups in California (Police Chiefs Association, State Sheriffs, PORAC, CHP association) opposed the bill. Republicans in the Legislature called it unconstitutional. Those disputes would be resolved in court, not under ordinary federal labor statutes.
In short: this is not illegal under federal labor law as that term is usually understood. Whether it survives a constitutional challenge if signed is a separate, and more contested, question that has not yet been decided.

The American Service Members Act of 2002, protects our people from being held by the ICC.

ASPA as an amendment passed the Senate 75–19. The appropriations bill that enacted it passed both chambers by large margins, then the conference report passed 397–32 in the House and 92–7 in the Senate.

@ProjectLincoln The International Criminal Court has no authority over a Sovereign Nation.

I’d have to look, but I don’t think they have done anything productive for as long as I can remember.

@ChrisMurphyCT You may have missed the news about what Trump said today, and the meetings he had.

Stay informed!
