Dems should just declare victory and move on.
Bill Melugin@BillMelugin_

One could argue Democrats have already secured a handful of wins for their base on DHS. Kristi Noem is out. Bovino has been reassigned & will reportedly retire. Roving patrols are over. Minnesota operation is over. Things have calmed down since Homan took the reins and enforcement has largely moved back to targeted operations. Republicans are highly unlikely to budge on Dem demands of judicial warrants and unmasking of agents. *Especially* judicial warrants. Will be interesting to see how far Dems keep pushing as it looks like DHS may push a bit of a reset button with Sen. Mullin coming in to lead the agency & Homan now calling the shots.

I’m going to let Jefferson speak for himself: “Where the preamble declares that coercion is a departure from the plan of the holy author of our religion, an amendment was proposed, by inserting the word “Jesus Christ,’ so that it should read ‘a departure from the plan of Jesus Christ, the holy author of our religion.’ The insertion was rejected by a great majority, in proof that they meant to comprehend, within the mantle of it's protection, the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and Mahometan, the Hindoo, and infidel of every denomination.”

Look, I have and love friends of other faiths, but the United States was built upon a Protestant ethic and outlook. Others have come and contributed to our culture, and I do not deny that. But to claim that America’s founding, its self-understood identity for the vast majority of its existence, had been anything other than Protestant is a lie.

News - Javier Villalobos, the Republican mayor of McAllen, Texas, says Latino enthusiasm for the GOP is fading, with some voters who backed Donald Trump in 2024 now regretting it over immigration policies, warning Republicans could lose one or two of the new majority Latino Texas House districts.

If young men don’t want to be drafted to fight in Kamala’s and Cheney’s 3rd World War they better get out and vote for Trump.

I’m a sociologist at @UTAustin who’s written on how @tigresdelnorte's corridos give voice to migrant life and politics. They’re at @MoodyCenterATX next week — hoping to cover the show and write a short cultural piece tied to this moment.

@AndrewTWalker That this line of thinking is from an "ethics professor" shows you how unserious so much of the SBC is

On today’s edition of The Briefing, I discuss the need of respect for the rule of law in Minnesota, the dangerous radicalization of sanctuary cities against the federal government, and why LGBTQ activists are targeting children. youtu.be/4pMMBJ7BqA4?si…

It’s been 1 year since @POTUS took office, and he’s put our nation back on track to make life more affordable for Americans: 👶 $1,000 investment accounts for newborns with billions more in private investment 💰 Tax relief for seniors 📉 Inflation down 70% from its peak during the Biden administration ⛽️ Lower gas prices 💵 No tax on tips or overtime The next few years will continue to deliver more opportunity and results for all Americans!

May God bless this steadfast pastor, this faithful Gospel church, and the members who were traumatized, including children and youth. This was nothing less than the desecration of Christian worship.

Latin America’s religious map is changing. Fewer people are going to church or claiming a specific faith, but personal belief is still going strong (unlike in the US) Even 86% of those who say they’re unaffiliated to a religion still believe in God. buff.ly/ahWWBM7

The clearest sign I can find of Latinos abandoning the GOP after Trump's big gains in 2024 is Manassas Park, Va., a city of 17,000 people with a 46% Latino plurality population. Harris won it by 20 in 2024. Spanberger is winning it by 42 tonight.
