The MANTA Protection Act has been introduced in Florida to protect manta rays and other threatened marine animals from cruel capture. Thank you Sen. Garcia and Rep. Cross for leading this bill and standing up for vulnerable marine species!

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.
If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

"Trump is putting America on a war footing because war is good for him as it is for all dictators. War confers emergency powers. It justifies ignoring the niceties of elections. It allows dictators to imprison and intimidate opponents and enemies."

Trump’s War Footing
His foreign and domestic policies are becoming one and the same, and their purpose isn't complicated.

Frey: "You cannot drag pregnant women through the snow. You're not allowed to take teenagers out of their car and detain them when they are in fact American citizens. That is against the law in every state. That is against our US Constitution."

Donald Trump has been on 3 ballots in his lifetime 2016 2020, 2024. He has never in any of those elections received a majority of the American vote. Never, not once he is O for 3. He has no authority to speak for what Americans want because the majority of Americans in three elections chose not him.

Trump is really slipping cognitively. Sending his VP out to speak on matters of national interest is out of character.
It’s getting more difficult for him to stay on topic and speak coherently.

The day after Renee Nicole Good’s death, Kristi Noem quietly ordered new restrictions on congressional visits to immigration detention facilities.
That order, revealed in court late Saturday, forces lawmakers to seek a week's advance notice before conducting oversight visits to ICE facilities.
