Per his attorneys, Mahmoud Khalil asked to address the court at his immigration hearing today, where a judge gave the green light to the Trump admin to deport him. “This is exactly why the Trump administration has sent me to this court, 1,000 miles away from my family.”

A police state: excessive government control over civil society and liberties, often including restrictions on freedom of speech, movement, and association, as well as widespread surveillance and monitoring. Limitations on the media, a climate of fear, and the suppression of dissent.

The four house democrats who voted for the SAVE Act: Jared Golden (Maine), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Wash.), Henry Cuellar (Texas) and Ed Case (Hawaii). I wonder if Glusenkamp Perez knows this bill would probably strip her right to vote since “Glusenkamp” isn’t on her birth certificate.

Trump has repeatedly threatened to annex Canada and has started a trade war with them, bringing relations with our neighbor to their lowest point in any of our lifetimes. If you think it's okay to confirm his ambassador anyway, you lack the gravity to serve in any office, much less U.S. Senator.
