You ALL need to IMMEDIATELY download a full and complete copy of your CREDIT REPORT and SOCIAL SECURITY EARNINGS RECORD! Do not screenshot, DOWNLOAD! If you don’t know how to do this, ask a family member or close friend. DO IT!

If I were actively trying to destroy the United States from within, going after and dismantling its public health would be like the first thing I’d do.

Just pointing that out.

This is beyond dangerous. It’s leaving us vulnerable in a way we can’t really fathom until it’s too late.

Could you discuss Judge Perry issuing an opinion explaining why she blocked the Texas National Guard deployment in Chicago.
She began with Hamilton’s rejection of a “preposterous” idea that the Constitution lets a President deploy a State’s militia to a different State for political retribution.

Mamdani: I run against a disgraced former governor who, in this moment, has chosen to issue a statement in which he cannot even say the name Tish James, nor the name Donald Trump.

If you cannot say Trump’s name today—how will you stand up to him tomorrow?
