Blue eyed Americans don’t need a passport to walk around.
But otherwise…

I just read an article saying that a legal resident was given a $130 ticket because he "didn't have his papers".

So, we're now at the "papers, please" stage of things. I'm a natural-born US citizen, and I'm carrying my passport now because of this crap.

How far we've fallen...

Elections aren’t every 4 years or every 2 years, they’re every year. In California we have a special election for prop 50 and it’s a YES. If Texas can gerrymander then we should be able to. I know my comments will be filled with bots, but I won’t be intimidated. Our democracy is vanishing❤️

President Trump is propping up a foreign government with a $20 billion taxpayer bailout while he cuts funding for American communities and shuts down our own government.

So much for America First.

I have a bill to stop this bailout.

The Trump administration is bailing out Argentina in a move critics are saying has more to do with politics than economics or American interests.

"They know that in a functioning one-person-one-vote democracy, they could never pass the unpopular self-enriching policies they want. So they know they must focus on preserving and expanding the precedents that permit them to buy American democracy."
