    No More CFPB, No More $5 maximum overdraft fees, as 47 gets ready to repeal them.

    I'm pretty sure the after 4 years of the 99% being left behind, the Left Behind policies of the far right, and their callous proponents, will be gone.

    Trump Burns 500 Tons of Food Meant for the Hungry

    We have. We do. It's not enough. Charity has had 6,000 years of failure--not because there are no good people, but because it's not enough. You are suggesting failure is better? Thank God we won't have NPR or PBS or Colbert anymore. The heartless were getting too, annoyed, and many are taking...

    No More CFPB, No More $5 maximum overdraft fees, as 47 gets ready to repeal them.

    I just hope consumers who are bilked will blame the right person who robbed them of protection--and vote accordingly. When their children ask where Sesame St. Is-- vote accordingly. Or why they're hungry. Or why the police took away their friend's daddy. I could write a book. You get the picture.

    Trump Burns 500 Tons of Food Meant for the Hungry

    Are you implying that the value of one child's life, or two children's lives, or the 1.5 million children who would get another week's worth of food would not be worth cost of distribution? If it were your child's life would you not believe that any price was enough?

    The Hispanic Vote

    This is a more recent decision from California. And I had not heard that the Supreme Court had issued any decisions that would leave them with blood on their hands yet.

    House Passes Trump-Backed Rescissions Package Slashing $9 BILLION in Bloated Spending — FOREIGN AID, NPR, and PBS on the Chopping Block — Two Republic

    The said part is that Congress gave him a signed BBB (big bad bill) and he sent it back. Not cruel enough. Not anti first amendment enough. What? Poor children might be fed? No! Not bad enough. SMH.

    The Hispanic Vote

    The courts said he was incorrect, and he, who took an oath to uphold the Constitution, just showed who the real lawbreakers in this country are. They have been gathered to dismantle our democracy. They are the lawbreakers.

    The Hispanic Vote

    Sending their friends, relatives, Neighbors, and countrymen to Alligator Alcatraz is a lot more than rhetoric. It is a violation of Human Rights and God's law. Most immigrants from the global South are very familiar with God's law and are well aware that the Trump Administration violates it in...

    Thanks for asking. Now his words in all their hideous hateful inhumanity are readily available to everyone here.

    The Hispanic Vote

    A thoughtful post. Sending 4,000 armed soldiers, unwanted and uninvited to Los Angeles where they storm through parks where children play; approved building facilities in alligator infested swamps that would not pass muster as animal shelters in the ASPCA; snatching teens out of high school...

    House Passes Trump-Backed Rescissions Package Slashing $9 BILLION in Bloated Spending — FOREIGN AID, NPR, and PBS on the Chopping Block — Two Republic

    And some of their pastors have so distorted the lessons and words of Jesus that their congregants believe that mistreating your neighbor is God's command.

    And so if they are apprehended, detained, disrespected, stopped and frisked or stopped while driving while Hispanic that doesn't bother you? It doesn't bother Tom Homan. Your looks entitle you to.harassment and false arrests.

    House Passes Trump-Backed Rescissions Package Slashing $9 BILLION in Bloated Spending — FOREIGN AID, NPR, and PBS on the Chopping Block — Two Republic

    Sadly the only things bloated now are the stomachs of the babies and children dying of malnutrition in Gaza and Africa and the third world.

    The Hispanic Vote

    The ICE raids have gone far, far beyond the very small numbers of criminals and drug dealers that Trump mischaracterized as typical immigrants. Citizens and green card holders have often been caught up in the madness by accident. People are deported without due process. As I said most Hispanic...

    The Hispanic Vote

    Many groups of all races vote against their self-interests. Sometimes because they believe lies. When I vote against myself interest, it is almost always due to kindness. I believe in the common good. We have been economically fortunate in many ways, but it doesn't make me get worked up in a...

    The Hispanic Vote

    Unbelievably, 48% of Hispanic voters supported Trump in the 2024 election. Months later, only 35% approve of him. While I am sorry that this dawning of awareness did not happen earlier, I understand it completely. Whether the Hispanic voter is an immigrant, a first-generation American, or...
