States need to push back hard here. ICE is saying Real ID isn't valid because some states extend it to those lawfully present and now a state issued birth certificate is deemed insufficient, in this case Maryland. This is very dangerous.

STOP CALLING IT AN IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN! TAKING CITIZENSHIP FROM EXTREMELY VETTED NATURALIZED CITIZENS IS NOT A CRACKDOWN! IT'S BETRAYAL.
Breaking News: The Trump administration plans to ramp up efforts to strip some naturalized Americans of their citizenship, internal documents obtained by The New York Times show, marking an aggressive new phase in President Trump’s immigration crackdown. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/17/u...

My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law.
Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it.
No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors.
That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.

Listen up for an #altCitizen #altPride history lesson about Brent Nicholson Earle (b.1951).
In the early AIDS years, long before the internets, before cell phones, before most of you were born, Earle did larger than life things you never heard of to raise awareness and #Pride. #1

Man won a narrow plurality of the vote, and immediately and very predictably started plummeting, and so many people and institutions who had no real need to go that far, even on the most cynical and cowardly of self-serving rationales, decided to chain themselves to the deck of a sinking ship.
we gotta keep hammering over and over again just how fucking unpopular this guy is with every institution and every person in a position of power
people hate him and people will hate you for capitulating to him

Enten: "This is probably the worst 10 day period for the president in the polls his entire second term. The numbers are just atrocious ... when your best poll has you 14 points underwater, you know it's truly bad and it's as bad as 26 points underwater ... -43 with independents! They despise him."

In fact, access to commissaries - and the lower cost food that it can provide, because IT IS THE GOVERNMENT AND IT DOESN'T NEED TO MAKE A PROFIT OR TAX ITSELF IT JUST WANTS YOU TO BE FED - is a prized thing.

Re Zohran’s grocery store plans- the government already runs discount grocery stores ALL OVER THE WORLD.
They are called commissaries and they are on every US military base.
No one has ever had a problem with their existence

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

moving forward I would like to see dems gum up the works every way possible. No unanimous consent, full votes on every tiny piece of business. I don't expect everyone to have the stamina to do a Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, but many lengthy floor speeches. Just slow everything down to a crawl.

“I am here not because of his speech, but in spite of it.” -Cory Booker in reference to surpassing Strom Thurmond’s record of longest speech in congress. Thurmond’s filibuster was Against the Civil Rights Act.
And then Booker pivoted to talking about John Lewis.
