My grandfather was also a citizen living in Hawaii. He took up the fight as an American countryman.

I am not sure if it was to stay out of the intermittent camps America was sending Japanese citizens to or not...

Thank you for your REAL patriotism to America for these fallen brothers and sisters.

Yes, I reminded her that we have state charges on him and that he would not be immediately released. It was the only consolation I had for her. Thank you for the additional information. I was getting ready to research it all today, so thank you very much. 🫶🏼

WHAT'S IN THE GOP'S "BIG BEAUTIFUL" BUDGET BILL?

Cuts to Medicaid that would leave 8.6 million people uninsured.

Cuts $290 Billion from SNAP benefits. 62% of SNAP households have children that rely on the benefits. 20% of SNAP households have Veterans that rely on the benefits.

Cuts around $350 billion for federal programs that help to make higher education more accessible and affordable.

A $68,000 tax cut for millionaires, and a $300,000 tax cut for households in the top 0.1 percent while raising taxes or doing nothing for 33 million working-class households.

Raises the debt ceiling by $4 trillion.

The DOE is gutting a powerful tool for stabilizing U.S. oil markets.

They're killing DOE's ability to use fixed-price contracts when refilling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR).

That means one thing: less optionality, more risk.

@Arnab Datta321-1d

This rule never required DOE to use fixed prices-it just allowed it.

DOE could still use index prices! But by rescinding the rule, they're taking away flexibility that can help hedge price crashes and crowd in private investment during uncertainty. 2

Fixed-price purchases gave domestic shale producers a clearer signal: if vou drill. vou won't

My 26 year old daughter called me, inconsolably crying about this last night...

The uprising in 2020 is when my adult children were introduced to protesting, donating food and supplies, and volunteering for the cleanup of Lake Street in South Minneapolis.

He told them, "I can't breathe."

"This afternoon, Jeanine Pirro will be sworn in as interim US attorney for the DC, becoming the 23rd Fox News personality to join the Trump administration. Her own producer once described her as a 'reckless maniac' who 'should never be on live TV."

Martin's Out. Pirro's In. Incompetence Reigns.

Being less flagrantly unfit than the last guy doesn't make you fit.

When I was boarding a plane in the US yesterday, there were two ICE officers at the entrance of the jet bridge (after the boarding pass check and the facial scan). I'd never seen that before.
