Freedom209

@justicenow_alan @TheTonus Where is that written.

The argument that “they only needed approval because they needed money” is incorrect. Congressional authorization is required not just for spending, but for altering federal property. The White House is federal property under the Constitution’s Property Clause, managed by the National Park Service, and subject to the National Capital Planning Act and the Anti‑Deficiency Act. Private funding removes the need for appropriations, but it does not remove the need for authorization. A privately funded ballroom still requires Congress.

The judge's argument falls short in two places: 1. Historically, Congress hasn't approved the majority of White House improvements. 2. Given the project's private funding, the judge's rule that Congress' "power of the purse" has to weigh in doesn't apply. It's a donation.

@DarinBashaw @PressSec The Senate voted 51-46 against moving ahead with the House-passed measure to fund all of DHS, failing to meet the 60-vote threshold necessary to move forward.

@PressSec It's the Republicans that keep blocking the stand alone bill to fund TSA. Why do you keep lying to US. You should be ashamed of yourself. Oh and GOD is watching!

@PressSec Airport Security should be performed by the airports, not the Federal government.

@greatgam01 @CrimPracMan @RapidResponse47 KARMA a bitch isn't it

@CrimPracMan @RapidResponse47 Joe Biden already set that precedent when he denied President Trump's request for certain items to come under his executive privilege! So... FAFO!

Trump rejects shielding Biden records from Senate probes in executive privilege showdown foxnews.com/politics/exclu…

@ExitTheIllusion @DanCo2018 @FoxNews None of those were taken out. Those drone carriers have hundreds of drones which can overwhelm the Anti air defense, which is why they were targeted. Those carriers are new.

@DanCo2018 @FoxNews Just like American Patriot, THAAD, and radars were taken out, which were stationed in all surrounding countries?

ADMIRAL BRAD COOPER: “You may have heard the president say, just a little while ago, that we have sunk or destroyed 24 ships.That was true at the moment, we're now up over 30 ships." "In just the last few hours, we hit an Iranian drone carrier ship, roughly the size of a World War II aircraft carrier. And as we speak, it's on fire.”

@krassenstein @mywitsendalso Do you have any proof whatsoever that the US bombed a school, other then Iran said we did?

@mywitsendalso And we just slaughtered 40 children.

BREAKING: Our joint attack with Israel on Iran, has struck a girls’ elementary school in Minab. According to Iranian media 40 students have been killed in 48 injured. I didn’t vote for this, did you? Here’s an update on iran’s response: Iran immediately retaliated, launching missiles and drones toward Israel and U.S. military bases across the region. Gulf Arab states including the UAE and Qatar closed their airspace and reported intercepting Iranian missiles. One person was reported killed in Abu Dhabi from missile debris.

@DanielleAlek @always_correct @Buckeye__Mike @Ilhan From the report i read, she was protesting. She was told to sit down repeatedly. Omar planned this.

@always_correct @Buckeye__Mike @Ilhan Ordering a single person out of the crowd to sit down when everyone is repeatedly standing and sitting throughout the entire night isn't a lawful order. It's discrimination to single her out, they were just looking for any excuse to get rid of politically inconvenient people.

My guest, Aliya Rahman, stood up silently in the gallery during the president’s speech for a short period of time, part of which other guests were also standing. For that, she was forcibly removed, despite warning officers about her injured shoulders and ultimately charged with ‘Unlawful Conduct.’ Reports indicate she was aggressively handled until someone intervened to secure medical attention. She was taken to George Washington University Hospital for treatment and later booked at the United States Capitol Police headquarters. The heavy-handed response to a peaceful guest sends a chilling message about the state of our democracy. I am calling for a full explanation of why this arrest occurred.

@DiscoverNL @Maryloudic87081 @TeamTrump47 Did he change his last name? Women are not required to get married They are not required to change their name when they do. Those were options they chose to do.

🚨LISTEN TO A YOUNG WHITE KID TELL A GROWN BLACK WOMAN THAT ITS HARD FOR HER TO GET AN ID😳 I watched this live and still can’t get enough! WHITE KID: "The SAVE America Act will suppress the minority vote" WOMAN: "To say that it would negatively impact minorities because we aren't EDUCATED enough to get these documents is COMPLETELY outrageous!" 🔥 "NO. That's NOT true! If I need my birth certificate, it's going online or ASKING."

@pslnational Do they even know what they are protesting about or did they just want to get out of school

Students at South High in Columbus, OH continue the walkout movement against ICE! Our students and youth are leading the way and remind us all that our fight must continue!

@saeileenburke Hypocrisy at its finest she yells no one is above the law while harboring known criminals. Yes being in this country illegally is a crime. Maybe ICE should start arresting these officials

ICYMI: I was asked about my thoughts on ICE activity in the Chicago area during a recent Cook County Commission budget hearing. Here’s where I stand:

@DrDigiPol @RepMTG The Europen Union has a GDP of $22 Trillion. The US has a GDP of $30 Trillion, yet the EU contributes about 1 /5 of what the US. They should give about $5 Trillion

@RepMTG So you are saying a country with a $6.75 Trillion budget cannot afford $9 billion in foreign aid? And you are saying we get nothing from supporting our allies? You really are clueless.

The United States is the world’s piggy bank, providing more foreign aid than the next 9 countries combined. 💸 Imagine how much money we could save if we just stopped giving away Americans’ hard-earned money for free!

@StrayDataPoint @BillMelugin_ @JoeAlv I mentioned nothing about entering private property

@Freedom2091 @BillMelugin_ @JoeAlv Bleating on repeating patently false information doesn't make it true. Administrative warrants do NOT allow ICE to enter private homes or fenced property. Administrative warrants only apply in public or open spaces. And detention is absolutely a seizure under the 4th Amendment.

BREAKING: Texas federal judge Fred Biery (Clinton appointee) has ordered the release of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos & his father from ICE detention in TX. In his decision, he includes a photo of the boy and gets today’s date wrong (Feb 31st doesn’t even exist) while saying that ICE’s administrative warrants “do not pass probable cause muster…that is called the Fox guarding the henhouse…the Constitution requires an independent judicial officer.” Judge Biery then goes on to write: “Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency. And the rule of law be damned. Ultimately, Petitioners may, because of the arcane United States immigration system, return to their home country, involuntarily or by self-deportation. But that result should occur through a more orderly and humane policy than currently in place.” Judge Biery’s LinkedIn page also shows him liking a post today about millions protesting President Trump’s policies.

@DistillSocial They will work for ICE

Fire them, and NAME THEM so we can make sure other Michigan departments don’t rehire them.

@x_facts_matter @lisamurkowski How so? We the people,vote for our elected officials

@lisamurkowski The SAVE ACT is the Make The Epstein Class Regime Permanent Act. They know they will lose badly because no one likes child abusers, so they're trying to change the rules in the middle of the game.

When Democrats attempted to advance sweeping election reform legislation in 2021, Republicans were unanimous in opposition because it would have federalized elections, something we have long opposed. Now, I’m seeing proposals such as the SAVE Act and MEGA that would effectively do just that. Once again, I do not support these efforts. Not only does the U.S. Constitution clearly provide states the authority to regulate the "times, places, and manner" of holding federal elections, but one-size-fits-all mandates from Washington, D.C., seldom work in places like Alaska. Election Day is fast approaching. Imposing new federal requirements now, when states are deep into their preparations, would negatively impact election integrity by forcing election officials to scramble to adhere to new policies likely without the necessary resources. Ensuring public trust in our elections is at the core of our democracy, but federal overreach is not how we achieve this.

@DarrylJ1956 @LisaColyer5 @lisamurkowski It called a marriage license, if you get married you have one.

@LisaColyer5 @lisamurkowski I thought I read it correctly. It complicates it for married women

@DarrylJ1956 @lisamurkowski Millions of married women don't have a birth certificate? They also have a marriage license. BTW neither is required to vote, only to register. If you are already registered, you just need photo ID

@lisamurkowski Under the SAVE Act, voting could require: a $130 passport; OR a birth certificate + photo ID with matching names (millions of married women don’t have that); OR military papers with sensitive info. Voting shouldn’t be this complicated.

@JennieSTaer That 14% is only for those that have been convicted, not accused

Rep. Correa shares the misleading CBS report that 14% of those arrested by ICE have violent criminal records. What that stat doesn't include is those with rap sheets for "nonviolent crimes," such as drug trafficking, distribution of child porn, solicitation of a minor, human smuggling, according to DHS.

@commonsense_L @Sec_Noem What laws?

@Sec_Noem As much as you violate laws you have no business talking about rule of law. You Trump worshipers think the laws don’t apply to you.

A win for the rule of law and vindication for the US Constitution. Under the previous administration, Temporary Protected Status was abused to allow violent terrorists, criminals, and national security threats into our nation. TPS was never designed to be permanent, yet previous administrations have used it as a de facto amnesty program for decades. Given the improved situation in each of these countries, we are wisely concluding what was intended to be a temporary designation.

@KennethBodin @ericmmatheny Freedom of speech means the government can't suppress your speech. The Olympics is a private company and there is no 1st Amendment protection. But maybe you missed that in class

@ericmmatheny Freedom of speech means freedom to speak without consequences or retaliation from the government, from the state or from the president. But you missed that class in school perhaps?

Hunter Hess has every right to voice how much he hates America. That is protected speech and the government cannot penalize him for that. However, representing your country in the Olympics is a privilege; not a right. That privilege should be revoked.
