ICE take 10 year old boy to court to deport him—all alone without even a lawyer. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing—no one offered him a change for many hours. "I was scared because it was my first time in court," he said. Separated from his mom for 4 months now after she was detained during a traffic stop. Wilfredo and his mother are originally from Venezuela with a pending asylum case. ICE is now trying to deport him alone without legal representation to Ecuador—a country he's never been to and does not know a single person. He is temporarily staying with his mom's former boss in Houston, Texas.


BREAKING: In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court rules that racial gerrymandering, which has been used to create majority black congressional districts for decades, is unconstitutional. Justice Samuel Alito wrote the opinion for the majority.










Gas prices just hit a wartime high, inflation is up, & Americans are feeling the pinch of higher prices. But Senate Republicans for the SIXTH time blocked a resolution requiring Congress to approve further military action against Iran. Their silence is an endorsement of the President’s questionable strategy.


1. Drawing voting districts based on race 2. Requiring voter ID Contrary to what Democrats say, the first is actually racist.

Today's VRA decision is intellectually dishonest and wrong. The conservatives basically said: Black people can vote for their preferred candidates, as long as they prefer the right candidates -- which will be Republicans. An absolutely mockery of the law and stain on the court.

🚨BREAKING: In a 6-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court kneecapped the Voting Rights Act (VRA), the landmark civil rights law that restricted racial gerrymandering and racial discrimination in voting for more than fifty years. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/sc…



Democrats kept the United States Secret Service DEFUNDED for 70 days. Their despicable political games have put innocent American lives at risk. Grateful to our brave @SecretService agents who protected President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
