Ex-Costa Rica president says US visa revoked after criticism of Trump
"Former Costa Rican president and Nobel winner Óscar Arias said on Tuesday that the US had revoked his visa to enter the country, weeks after he criticized Donald Trump on social media saying he was behaving like “a Roman emperor”".
"His statements came after the US withdrew visas from three Costa Rican lawmakers who opposed Chaves’s decision to exclude Chinese firms from participating in the development of 5G in the country, following US demands. On Tuesday, another opposition lawmaker was also stripped of her US visa"

Woo HOO!!!!! On #Wisconsin #ApartheidClyde wasted MILLIONS trying to buy a judge.
“#CoryBooker just spoke for 25 hours straight about defending democracy. Here's why we’re not clapping.
— In 2019, he backed anti-#BDS legislation
— In 2019, he told AIPAC: “If I forget thee, O #Israel…”
— In 2021, he pushed normalization with Arab states—at Palestinians' expense
Wore a hostage pin for Israelis — but said nothing about more than 50,000+ Palestinians killed in #Gaza.”

Senators Galllego & Schiff are putting holds on Trump nominees.
This is SO FUCKING OVERDUE.
Should have been happening since day 1.
I'd say better late than never, but given the utter destruction so far, I fear it may be too late.
But they should still keep doing it.

U.S. Sen. Cory Booker has set the record for the longest speech in Senate history, surpassing Sen. Strom Thurmond who spoke against the Civil Rights Act for 24 hours and 18 minutes in 1957. Booker is still speaking against the Trump administration's "grave and urgent" threat to the country. He has shared letters from constituents and read news articles, discussing a wide range of subjects and in his opening remarks, referencing his hero, the late Rep. John Lewis. "I start tonight thinking about him; I've been thinking about him a lot during these last 71 days. 'Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, help redeem the soul of America,'" Booker said, invoking Lewis' words. "And had to ask myself, if he's my hero, how am I living up to his words?"
As a born New Yorker it is very weird got me to find myself liking the guy from Jersey better than the guy from New York right now. #CoryFilibuster #SenatorCoryBooker #USPol #USPolitics
Right now… Cory Booker is my hero. #CoryBooker #SenatorCoryBooker #politics #USPolitics #USPOL
The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, limits presidents to two terms. It was a direct response to FDR serving four terms and aimed to prevent a president from becoming too powerful or too much like a king.

The brain worm told RFKJr to rescind the already approved health funding.
Yup, the brain worm made him do it.
Remember kids, heroin is always a poor life choice.
Friends don't let friends take health advice from brain-damaged former(?) addicts.

If you're able, tune in to Cory Booker because he's still being great!

At what point do the executive orders of #POTUS47 against law firms become bills of attainder, which is constitutionally forbidden?
Entire staff at federal agency that funds libraries and museums put on leave

These are only three and a half minutes. Uncut. Representing the essence of #CoryBooker 's speech around the 20hrs mark. It's a speech to all Americans. But is as well a speech, foremost to the #DemocraticParty, about which, until today, I wasn't sure it still exists. Senator Booker just opened a huge window of opportunity. They only have to use it.
Due to the current situation in the #USA with #Trump 2.0, I'm curious:
Are you considering to leave the USA and live and work abroad?
What's the current mood at the moment?
