Gun Owners of America is lobbying Congress to pass the SAVE Act, which would require a majority of Americans to show a passport to register to vote.

But GOA opposes any law that requires showing a drivers license to buy a gun.

These are not serious people.

Puerto Rico residents lost about 27 hours of power each year from 2021 to 2024—all without accounting for electricity failures from hurricanes or other major disasters.

In comparison, residents in the mainland US experience about two hours of power loss each year.

Homeland Security sent a memo to Congress to explain the moments leading to Alex Pretti's death.

In it they state people were told to get off the road. When they didn't they were sprayed with chemicals.

How does ICE have the authority to control the public right-of-way? They are not the police.

The death squads want to scare people out of talking, and it's always impressive to see how the good people in Minneapolis don't let them deter them.

Not every ICE agent or Border Patrol agent pulls a trigger, but they are all in on the cover-up and abuse.
