@NydiaVelazquez "TPS holders belong here" Please explain. For many years TPS terminations happened uncontested under administrations of both parties for many countries. What changed?
I'll probably get clobbered for this, but here goes: Please, can everyone, right or left, MAGA or anti-MAGA, Republican or Democrat, stop catastrophizing and trying to get everyone on your side worked up into a rage? It's not Flight 93. We're not on the verge of fascism. We do not need to take desperate measures. Our fellow citizens with whom we disagree are not devils incarnate or personifications of evil. We need to argue with our political adversaries--passionately perhaps--but with respect for their humanity and dignity. We don't need to destroy them. That mustn't be our aim. We all say we believe in democracy. Good! But democracy is all about persuading, giving reasons, engaging one another as fellow citizens, despite our disagreements. Let's rebuild civic friendship. We can do this. (Thank you for your attention to this matter.)
For anyone putting loyalty to a person above loyalty to the Constitution, Justice Gorsuch’s remarks should be required reading. His words are a reminder that our highest duty is to the rule of law and the founding principles that define America.
@SenSchumer Is there objective data to support this claim? Hard to believe in 2026 that there a millions of Americans without ID. If there are, we should get them IDs.
@BulwarkOnline Great piece. Unfortunately, our politicians are not rewarded for this kind of statesmanlike behavior. Today, they are rewarded for conflict. Conflict drives voter turnout, media attention, and primary victories.
@RubenGallego@CaptMarkKelly These statements are not "truth"...they are partisan talking points: "This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens."
@RepGoodlander Which part of your job is this? "This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens." and this "Right now, the threats to our constitution aren’t just coming from abroad, but from right here at home."
