The Trump administration says more difficult questions, and other changes to the naturalization process, will ensure only immigrants who are "fully assimilated" will gain citizenship.

Blame for the Federal Shutdown?

Given that Republicans CONTROL Both House AND SENATE, where they know 60 VOTES are needed to pass, Republicans passed a poisonous Partisan bill they KNEW Democrats couldn't accept; THEN REFUSED TO NEGOTIATE,
I Blame Republicans.

The flaw our Founders failed to address is what to do when a president seeks to dismember the corpus of agencies that have come into Being by acts of Congress.
The U.S. Gov’mt’s Gestalt Being; eyes, hands, feet, its backbone & most importantly, our heart as a nation

Military on our streets;
Universities pay Tribute, yield 2 Gov’mt control & end Free Speech;
Media companies settle baseless lawsuits to get a merger approved, as
CBS establishes office to ensure “Fairness” to Trump;
Lawfirms targeted 4 cases brought, clients represented & lawyers on staff;
Fascism!

Project 2025 has become an experiment in unitary control of the United States government by the Executive, with no oversight by Congress & with no timely review by the Courts allowed, Trump is able to create laws by Executive Orders unilaterally by HIS ROYAL FIAT!!!

Two things flow from this:
> Our Rights don’t come the Constitution, but from “Nature’s God” & are inalienable; &
> Our Rights go beyond citizenship to a nation, but to the innate quality of being born human.
Sadly, SCOTUS gives no Constitutional weight to our founding document, IT’s Penumbrae.

America’s “Theology” is rooted in “Nature’s God.”
This embraces the range of beliefs & practices from Atheist, physical laws, to the full range of revealed religions, animism, polytheism & rituals, to the “Nature’s God” in our Declaration of Independence.

I doubt if ICE would arrest Itself; & SCOTUS has made Trump immune…

Over 170 US Citizens have been arrested by ICE under Trump*;
no data on the myriad Federal agencies that detailed officers to ICE, e.g. FBI, DoJ, Postal Inspectors, military & even IRS.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...
