Marco Rubio has spent over $1.2m of taxpayers’ money on personal trips to the Gainesville, Florida, where his son Anthony has a walk-on role as a college running back. Rubio has made 23 total trips made to Gainesville on military aircraft, at least 15 of which were “personal” in nature. https://t.co/J5C4NSvB9d
On Veterans Day, we recognize the men and women who have sacrificed so much for our country. We owe them more than our gratitude — we owe them our unwavering commitment to ensuring they receive the care, benefits and support they’ve earned.
To every veteran across Mississippi and our nation: thank you for your service.
For anyone who hasn't heard about this yet: ICE showed up at the front door of Dr. Ann Lawani in Lodi, California, while she was still in her pajamas, shackled her at the wrists, waist, and ankles, and shipped her all the way to a detention center in Louisiana.
She’s a frontline nurse who worked through the worst of COVID, directs the master's nursing program at the University of San Francisco (overseeing 230+ nursing students), and takes care of her 83-year-old dad.
When her family and lawyer tried to find out where she was taken, ICE’s online locator came back with "0 results." It turns out ICE quietly changed its policy the day before her arrest to stop listing thousands of detainees in the public database, so her family had no idea where she was for days while she was bounced from Stockton to Bakersfield to El Paso to Louisiana.
DHS put out a statement claiming she had a 2013 removal order, but they conveniently left out that on the *exact same day* in 2013, an immigration judge granted her Withholding of Removal blocking her deportation to Nigeria because she faced persecution there.
She has zero criminal record, has checked in with ICE for 13 years, and has a valid federal work permit through 2029. Because they legally can't send her to Nigeria, Rep. Josh Harder says ICE has been trying to quietly deport her to an undisclosed third country behind her lawyer's back.

@NatashaBertrand@WajahatAli A faithful, honorable, service member calls out the Secretary of Defense, while fulfilling his duties and following his oath and the Tomb’s Code of Ethics. Surely the US #Senate and the #House can match this guard’s integrity.

A US Army sentinel guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier reprimanded Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and a group of his senior advisers Wednesday after some in the group laughed and talked near the solemn memorial following a Veterans Day ceremony. https://t.co/MMDfZ31pPP
ICYMI — “Haitian 8-year-old taken by ICE at routine check-in, rattling a San Diego school district… separated from his cousins and uncle, who was taking care of him after his father was deported last year…”

🇺🇦 A UKRAINIAN WAR VETERAN ASKING FOR HELP TO FEED HIS FAMILY
Tomorrow is Monday, the day we buy groceries for the next one or two weeks. But this time, we barely have anything left to eat, and I honestly don't know how we will afford enough food for our family. Winter is approaching, heating costs are rising, and we are struggling to cover even our most basic needs.
My name is Mykhailo Rohoza. I am a Ukrainian war veteran, a former artillery reconnaissance sergeant of the 54th Separate Mechanized Brigade, a disabled husband, and a father. I fought against Russian aggression, lost my family home in Donbas, and later survived a devastating accident caused by a drunk driver. More than 20 broken bones and five years confined to bed changed my life forever. Today, I live in Canada with my wife and children, struggling with permanent physical limitations.
My wife works hard to support our family, but her income is simply not enough to cover groceries, heating, housing, and the needs of our children. I continue working as an independent journalist, documenting Russian war crimes and telling the stories of Ukrainian victims. But this work does not provide enough income to support my family.
I never imagined that after surviving war, losing my home, and fighting to recover from devastating injuries, I would find myself asking strangers for help buying food for my children. It is painful and humiliating to admit that our cupboards are nearly empty. But I have a responsibility to my family, and their well-being matters more than my pride.
If you can spare $5, $10, or $20, it would genuinely help us buy groceries and keep our home warm. Even a small contribution can make a real difference. If you cannot donate, please consider sharing this message.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us, encouraged us, and helped us through difficult times. Your kindness means more than I can express.

Young Black women in rural Mississippi are trying like hell to make sure no ballot gets thrown out unfairly in the Scott Colom race. They are DMing friends and chasing down people who need to verify their IDs. My story (gift link) on the phenomenon: https://t.co/cyNLXmO47d
🚨 FEDERAL IMMIGRATION AGENTS BLOCKED AN EMERGENCY ROOM'S AMBULANCE ENTRANCE FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO HOURS.
Not according to protesters. According to the hospital itself.
At Adventist Health White Memorial in Los Angeles, armed federal agents formed a line across the ambulance entrance overnight November 6–7.
The hospital says it neither requested nor authorized the blockade.
AMBULANCES HAD TO BE DIVERTED TO OTHER HOSPITALS.
We don't yet know how many patients were affected or whether anyone suffered harm.
But we know emergency ambulance access was disrupted.
Who ordered it? What justified it? And why did it last roughly two hours?
EMERGENCY MEDICAL ACCESS SHOULD NOT BECOME COLLATERAL DAMAGE OF IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT.
Watch the footage. 👇
@JessPected My husband deleted or destroyed every manuscript, poem and photo I took over 20 years. He also destroyed my great-grandmother’s collection of bitters bottles and doilies she crocheted. His family said I was hoarding and it didn’t matter because I have no talent. /sigh/
@PatriotSteve64@DemocraticWins Dems do have a majority. They don’t have a filibuster-proof majority (60). But they’ll only need to persuade 4 GOP Senators…
