As many as 4,000 immigrants are raising their right hands this week to take the citizenship oath, just in time to celebrate Independence Day. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) agency held more than 50 naturalization ceremonies spanning the country in locations as historic as Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello in Charlottesville, Virginia and the USS Midway in San Diego, CA, as well as in public libraries and city halls.

  • Trump Surrogates Attack Judge’s Daughter
    Political Wire, Tuesday - 05/14/2024 - 04:32 PM

    Rolling Stone: “In the last several days of courtroom drama, Trump has been accompanied by an entourage of prominent Republican lawmakers eager to be seen offering their public support to the indicted former president. Not only is their presence an act of theatrical solidarity, they have been acting as mouthpieces for Trump, who remains bound by a gag order barring him from attacking witnesses, jurors, court staff, prosecutors, and the families of those involved in the case.” “On Tuesday, Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, addressed reporters gathered outside of court and repeated attacks against witnesses and the daughter of Judge Juan Merchan, who has led a Democratic consulting firm, that have previously landed Trump in hot water.” “Johnson was not the only one of Trump’s guests to target Merchan’s daughter.”
