Mamdani: "Of the Margret Thatcher quote, the problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money. If anything my friends, it seems you eventually need a socialist to clean up the mess."



Today, the task force and the DOJ announced a massive take down of two of the largest Medicaid fraud cases in Minnesota state history, as well as the largest autism fraud scheme ever charged by the federal government. Our message is simple: if you’re committing fraud, we will find you, and we won’t rest until justice is served.

An alien who is in the U.S. temporarily and wants a Green Card must return to their home country to apply. This policy allows our immigration system to function as the law intended instead of incentivizing loopholes. The era of abusing our nation’s immigration system is over.

@lsferguson The strongest most powerful nation in the history of the world. Those doors can probably withstand anything and they just magically opened during a protest after a blatantly stolen election. It was all orchestrated and I was one of many great Americans who went to prison for it


JUST IN: Senate leaves for Memorial Day recess without passing Trump’s immigration enforcement funding bill.

As a former federal law enforcement officer, I share Virginians' concerns about federal immigration enforcement officers wearing masks on American streets — undercutting basic expectations of accountability, sowing fear and confusion, and eroding public trust. Kids afraid to get on the school bus. Workers not showing up to their jobs. Neighbors scared to go to the grocery store. That's what aggressive federal immigration enforcement is doing to Virginia communities. Today, I signed Executive Order 16 to: 🔹 Ban ICE from using state property as an operations base 🔹 Require federal immigration officers to show warrants before accessing state property 🔹 Launch a Know Your Rights website for Virginians affected by federal immigration enforcement to access resources and guidance 🔹 Provide guidance for employees at courthouses, schools, polling locations, and healthcare facilities when federal officers attempt to conduct immigration enforcement


Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA): If Democrats take control of the Senate, they should get rid of the "arcane" filibuster "We owe it to the people to give them their voice. That’s basic, it’s foundational, and no arcane Senate procedural rule should block people’s ability to be heard in their democracy.”
