No American should ever struggle to buy groceries while non-citizens swipe a government card for theirs. We turned food stamps into foreign aid and pretended it was compassion.
@SteveDeaceShow Yes, data from the Center for Immigration Studies, based on Census Bureau surveys, shows 59% of non-citizen households use major welfare programs like SNAP (food stamps), versus 39% for native-born households. This includes legal and illegal immigrants, highlighting fiscal strain

I'm not concerned about SNAP funding being late, I'm HORRIFIED that 40 Million (more than 10% of the entire US population) is getting tax payer funded mountain dew. What are we even doing here?

Absolutely disgraceful showing from the squishes who would denounce @NickSSolheim from encouraging courage, the prerequisite virtue. With Republicans like that, who needs Democrats?
The future won’t belong to soft men chasing comfort. It will belong to those who risk safety to defend their homeland, their families, and their faith. @NickSSolheim is right, and he’s a patriot for saying so.

This sort of presentation of data is completely misleading. The low life expectancy in the US is attributable to trauma and substance abuse deaths. The high death rate for those problems relates to poor public policy and not medical care. Life expectancy in the US for medical

Moving the President has always been a costly and risky affair. Having a static events center on the White House compound will greatly reduce presidential movements, address lingering logistical needs, save tax payers millions of dollars, and enhance the security of the
The Washington Post editorial endorsing the destruction of the White House was a twisted attempt at justifying the indefensible. It dressed up Trump’s insanity as a “NIMBY” issue, and tried to make it all seem not just normal, but necessary. https://t.co/Fdhsrn7I8K

After being opposed by the @TexasGOP, Gonzales topped @TheAKGuy by only 1.2% in a 2024 open primary that was undoubtedly decided by Democrats. We need to fix that by electing Herrera and closing our primary.

Dems are running a man who carved a Nazi tattoo onto his chest, declared himself an "Antifa supersoldier" on Reddit, and provided weapons training to a left-wing paramilitary group—and he's running thirty points ahead of the sitting governor. Chaos is coming.

You know it's that simple. Pick up the phone and call the President. Make public safety a priority. Invite the other federal resources. As the mayor said, give me a shot. Other Democrats should pay attention.
Yesterday, I spoke to San Franciscans about a potential federal deployment in our city. I said then what I have said since taking office, that keeping San Franciscans safe is my top priority. Late last night, I received a phone call from the President of the United States. I

These policies have affected me by giving me the piece of mind that my 8 year old son won’t be exposed in school to some weird reality-denying religion promoting mental illness and the castration of children. Thanks for asking.

Since M&O taxes are about 50% of collections, the legislature could have eliminated M&O taxes in one year with the 2024 surplus, plus a a few % in cuts off the $321 billion budget.

For background, approximately $28 billion annually is collected from taxes on homestead property. Texas’ surplus at the end of the 2024 fiscal year was $24 billion. The first is a biennial number, but shows it is possible to eliminate the tax from growth over a short time by
