“Most of the workers who helped were Latino. A local doctor commissioned the bronze and marble statue as tribute, thanking the Latin American workers for reviving the city in its time of need." www.wwltv.com/article/news...

Immigrants have been so essential to disaster recovery that a statue in New Orleans honors the Latinos who helped rebuild after Katrina. “In some areas of the country, such as the Southwest, all work crews are immigrants.” These are the workers he wants to deport: americasvoice.org/blog/baltimo...

Just a thought, but since it's the GOP's top priority, could some reporter step away from the Biden frenzy for a sec to get Trump to answer the Question About Mass Deportation Get the details on his plan to deport Dreamers and rip apart American families zacharymueller.substack.com/p/answer-the...

The GOP is telling us exactly what their priority is, using deadly white nationalist rhetoric about a "migrant invasion" & to crate a show-me-your-papers force to round up millions, deporting Dreamers and ripping apart American families with mass family separation. This is their priority.

Answer the Question About Mass Deportation!zacharymueller.substack.com Despite all his nativist lies Trump dodged the direct question to explain his plan to deport Dreamers and rip apart American families with his mass deportation agenda.

“ … every Republican running for office should be asked if they support Trump’s mass deportation agenda—and, if they’re going to allow him to commit mass family separation in their states and districts. He and Republicans need to answer the question.”

"Trump’s unsparing mass-deportation plan is the single most consequential immigration topic of this election, and his refusal to engage on the subject and its potential consequences for every single American is a telling admission of its unpopularity." zacharymueller.substack.com/p/answer-the...

It is journalistic malpractice at this point not to ask every Republican candidate where they stand on the details of mass deportation.

Yeah because the White House was working on a bill to help those with Parkinson’s disease that was signed this week. This is literal far right disinformation from the New York Times.

Breaking News: A Parkinson’s expert visited the White House eight times in eight months from last summer through this spring, according to official visitor logs. The administration has said that President Biden has no signs of the disease.

Trump proposes scaled-back platform that softens language on abortion, same-sex marriagewww.washingtonpost.com The draft was circulated Monday among members of the 2024 Republican convention platform committee. It will be discussed and voted on later this week.

NYT back in 2016: “Donald Trump Softens His Tone, and the G.O.P. Hopes It Will Last.” What did he do once he got into office? I recall him stealing thousands of children from their parents at the border, in just one horrific action.

Hill reporters will be in a frenzy stalking Dem to ask about Biden Maybe, and I know this is a big ask, one or two could break from their herd mentality and ask some Republicans about Project 2025 There's plenty of material but would mean doing a bit of research -- and might not get them "scoops"

Haitian Bridge Alliance’s Guerline Jozef noted that relief for Haiti is not only the right thing to do, it’s an economic win. “Extending and redesignating #TPS is the right course of action considering that TPS-eligible individuals contribute nearly $31 billion annually to the U.S. economy.”

“For the umpteenth time, the regular people are smarter than the pundits. It seems that two events — the surge in Project 2025 publicity, and the Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity projecting king-like powers onto the White House — have finally focused voters on the real stakes.”

Taraji P. Henson “used her incredible platform to issue a warning and to repeat it again and again throughout the night: that a Donald Trump GOP win in November will undermine our fundamental rights.” www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

Trump’s new Big Lie that he doesn’t know about Project 2025 might take him downwww.inquirer.com Republicans are in a state of panic now that voters are paying attention to Project 2025, their plan for dictatorship. They should be.

“At 9:39 a.m. on the Friday of the July Fourth weekend, Trump himself took to his Truth Social website to make a stunning claim. ‘I know nothing about Project 2025,’ the presumptive GOP nominee insisted.” “Indeed, this is Trump’s 2024 version of the Big Lie …”

“Look it up,” Henson told viewers. “Those last three words hit like a bombshell,” Will Bunch writes. “Because in recent days, more and more everyday voters are starting to do exactly what Henson had asked. They are learning the truth about Project 2025 …”
