We put Congress in office.

I can only vote for one representative and one senator, what the duck is everyone else doing?

No. Nor is there any precedent where the President accepts a personal gift from said country, is doing real estate deals in said country and the president's son in law is also profiting from deals in said country.

Tax payers are paying more than the original cost to refurbish it and make sure it doesn't have bugs, add in defenses, etc.

Whatever Trump and the Project2025 people have on the Republicans in Congress must be really damning.

Vote them out, and vote for someone who (as far as you can be certain) can't be blackmailed!

This is one reason we need age caps and more turnover in Congress.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

Do they have a prize for blowing up boats in the Caribbean and then bragging that people who made their livelihood fishing there for generations are now afraid to go out on the water?

650 people in Brewer, Maine — ready to set off a political earthquake.

As Maine goes, so goes the nation. And that’s exactly why the politicians in Washington, D.C. are so scared.

Their job is to protect The Constitution from all enemies foreign AND DOMESTIC.

Following the illegal order of a wannabe dictator, elected or not, would be the opposite of that oath and duty.

Idiots think other people take their jobs, they believe this bullshit, without ever realizing these people are customers.

The system is why you can't create your own business, the megacorps don't want competition.

But, more people means more customers, that's why cities form and exist.

Between 1929 and 1936, as many as 2 million people of Mexican descent were repatriated or deported to Mexico. The Mexican Repatriation program was presented as a means of opening up jobs for Americans but was actually driven by nativist sentiment. /1

Mexican Americans wait to be repatriated to Mexico in the 1930s.
