@SenWarren Commie!

Donald Trump wants to pick and choose which kids born in the United States get to be a citizen. His executive order is unconstitutional — and anti-American.

Wrong. The Elections Clause gives states the initial role to set time, place and manner, but expressly authorizes Congress to enact nationwide rules for federal elections (House and Senate races), including voter registration, list maintenance, fraud prevention, and ballot procedures. The Supreme Court has interpreted “manner” broadly to include “notices, registration, supervision of voting, protection of voters, prevention of fraud and corrupt practices,” etc. The Help America Vote Act imposes mandatory minimum federal standards on states (e.g., statewide computerized voter registration lists, provisional ballots, and election administration improvements) and provides federal grants (“requirements payments”) explicitly conditioned on compliance. States must submit plans showing how they meet these standards to receive funding. The National Voter Registration was also enacted under the Elections Clause. It mandates that states maintain accurate voter rolls (“list maintenance”), offer registration at certain agencies, and accept a federal mail-registration form. Courts have upheld NVRA provisions as valid under the Elections Clause precisely because they target voter eligibility verification and roll accuracy. Trump’s EO explicitly cites both HAVA and NVRA as authority. It does not create new substantive rules from scratch; it directs federal agencies to implement and enhance existing federal statutory requirements using federal databases (SSA records, DHS’s SAVE program). Moreover, Congress’s power under Article I, Section 8 to tax and spend for the general welfare includes the ability to attach conditions to federal grants to states. This is classic conditional spending, upheld in South Dakota v. Dole (1987): conditions must be unambiguous, related to the federal interest (here, integrity of federal elections), and not coercive. - HAVA already does exactly this—grants are withheld or conditioned on states meeting federal election-administration standards. - The EO (Section 5) authorizes withholding “federal funds from noncompliant states/localities where authorized by law.” This is not a new commandeering of state legislatures; states can decline the funds (and the attached conditions) if they wish. Precedent confirms Congress (and the executive administering congressional appropriations) can use the purse to encourage compliance without directly dictating state election codes. Finally, Trump’s EO’s core mechanisms operate through federal entities like the post office, not state legislatures: - USPS rulemaking directs the Postmaster General to require barcoded, trackable “Official Election Mail” envelopes and to transmit ballots only to voters on the federal/state-verified Mail-In/Absentee Participation Lists. USPS is a federal agency; the President may direct its operations via executive order. States are not forced to change their own mailing processes—they simply cannot use federal postal service for non-compliant ballots if they want the service. This avoids the anti-commandeering doctrine (Printz v. United States, 1997), which prohibits the federal government from forcing state officials to enforce federal law. Here, the federal government is regulating its own property (mail) and funds. Once Congress has acted (via HAVA/NVRA), federal requirements preempt conflicting state practices for federal elections. The democrats are toast.

@SenSchumer Only loser is you chucky!

See you in court. You will lose.

TMZ flips the script and does real reporting. They finally call out Democrats and say EVERYONE in congress needs to be voted out They have evidence of Congress partying like they’re on Spring Break while everyone else has to deal with the shutdown “It's not the other party, it's both parties and we are kind of sick of the way they are patronizing us and that's why we're doing this. Something has to change” “We have talked about what we call the outer movement, OWTA out with their asses, voting everybody out, even the ones you like to reset things and make it clear to the next group. Here is our expectation that you will keep the government open, that federal workers will get paid. And if you don't do that, we're gonna throw you out. Like we threw your predecessors out. So that seems to be the only maybe last resort of regaining some power”

An illegal immigrant arrested in Cranston for drug trafficking, heroin possession, and dangerous drugs is now off the streets. This is exactly why ICE matters. This is exactly why enforcement matters. Rhode Islanders should not have to live next to violent criminals and drug traffickers who should never have been here in the first place. I stand with ICE, and I will always put the safety of Rhode Island families first. Rhode Island First. 🇺🇸

@Polymarket So they are liberals?

JUST IN: Vice President JD Vance reveals his belief that “aliens” are actually demons.

🚨 JUST IN: Speaker Johnson is reportedly HELLBENT on defeating the Senate's ridiculous DHS funding bill that excludes ICE, saying he refuses to set the precedent of allowing the minority party to hold the whole country for ransom... ..and then being rewarded for it. LFG!!!!

@dom_lucre Ai

🔥🚨JUST IN: Too Turnt Tony just showed the internet how far into the future we are as he used a drone to drop bait 200 yards offshore from a Florida beach catching a shark in the process.

BRUTAL: Stephen A. Smith just told Democrats to “SHUT UP” and stop “bitching” about voter ID. “You should have a damn ID [to vote]. You need an ID for every damn thing else.” “And to the progressive left, shut the hell up!” “You got a mayor in New York City that required TWO IDs for you to shovel snow.” “You ain’t in no position to be bitching about how [Trump] wants IDs and the GOP wants IDs for votes. Shut up! Nobody wants to hear that.”

Cappys!!!
