The Biden-Harris administration have opened up our country to an invasion. But their complicity is worse than ever imagined.

And now a shocking report from the border is dropping jaws across the country.

The Biden administration’s controversial “parole” program, intended to manage the influx of migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela (CHNV), has come under intense scrutiny after an explosive report by the House Judiciary Committee.

Among the most damning revelations: s*x traffickers may be exploiting the program to sneak illegal immigrant women into the U.S. — a grim indictment of a system riddled with fraud and mismanagement.

The report, first shared with *The Washington Times*, exposes a litany of alarming failures.

Sponsors for parolees have included welfare recipients, individuals tied to criminal activity, and even other illegal immigrants.

Shockingly, Homeland Security officials admitted they lack the capability to verify criminal records of potential sponsors. Some were even approved despite admitting that part of their income came from illegal activities.

“This oversight has uncovered how the Biden-Harris Administration’s willingness to cast aside the best interests of Americans has enabled fraud, undermined national security, and endangered public safety,” the report states.

It paints a picture of an administration more focused on facilitating mass migration than ensuring the safety of American citizens or migrants themselves.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas originally touted the CHNV program as a way to manage the surge of Venezuelan migrants by encouraging them to bypass the border and fly directly into U.S. airports.

However, critics say the program has done little but incentivize illegal migration, with migrants entering as inadmissible aliens — lacking legal status and subject to deportation.

The Judiciary Committee’s findings are staggering:

• At least 336 recipients of welfare benefits were approved as sponsors. The report said sponsors are supposed to prove they can support migrants without them becoming dependent on the government.
• 21 applications were approved for sponsors who admitted at least some of their income came from illegal sources. Homeland Security told the committee that the department thought legal sources provided “sufficient income.”
• Homeland Security can’t say how many sponsors have criminal records beyond their financial entanglements.

Among the most troubling issues is the sheer scope of fraud within the sponsorship system. Venezuelan gang members, stolen identities, and even the passport number of former First Lady Michelle Obama were reportedly used in applications.

Over 80,000 sponsors were noncitizens, including DACA recipients, asylum-seekers, and parolees with tenuous legal status.

The issue of s*x trafficking emerged after analysts discovered numerous sponsorship applications filed from a single IP address, including 18 applications for female migrants, six of whom were under 18.

Homeland Security has failed to monitor sponsors adequately, relying instead on a “complaint line” that has yet to yield any meaningful oversight.

The consequences have been dire. In one case, a Haitian parolee was arrested for raping another migrant in a taxpayer-funded shelter in Massachusetts. Emilio Gonzalez, former head of USCIS under President George W. Bush, did not mince words about the program’s failings:

“The premise of the program is to get as many people into the U.S. as possible, away from Congress’ and the public’s eye.”

Despite its flaws, the program has been wildly popular among migrants, with over 3 million sponsorship applications filed.

By the end of fiscal year 2024, more than half a million migrants had arrived under CHNV, and 400,000 were granted work permits, placing them in direct competition with American workers.

Republicans, including President-elect Donald Trump, have vowed to shut down programs like CHNV and restore integrity to the immigration system. Trump’s return to the White House promises a stark contrast to the Biden administration’s open-border policies.

Trump’s stricter approach would prioritize securing the border, ending fraud-ridden initiatives, and holding agencies like USCIS and Customs and Border Protection accountable for their failures.

Meanwhile, Democrats like Rep. Jerrold Nadler remain skeptical of Trump’s plans, dismissing them as unlikely to succeed.

“I won’t be holding my breath,” Nadler quipped during a Judiciary Committee hearing on the treatment of illegal immigrant children.

With over 531,000 migrants already in the U.S. under CHNV and more flooding in, the stakes couldn’t be higher.

As the Biden administration’s missteps continue to pile up, Trump’s commitment to ending the chaos offers hope for Americans demanding secure borders and accountability.

The Left has been letting millions flood into this country. That looks poised to end.

And now Trump’s border czar went on Fox News and all hell is breaking loose.

Tom Homan, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for border czar, made it clear Tuesday night that the new administration will take a no-nonsense approach to illegal immigration, vowing that no illegal alien in the U.S. will be safe from deportation once Trump returns to the White House in January.

In an interview on Fox News, Homan took aim at Democrat politicians who have pledged to obstruct federal immigration enforcement, even when it comes to deporting dangerous criminal illegal aliens.

His message was blunt: sanctuary policies and obstruction won’t stand under the Trump administration.

“Out of the gate, we’re concentrating on public safety threats and national security threats,” Homan explained.

“What politician, whether you’re a mayor or governor, is saying, ‘No, I want public safety threats to remain in my community’? I mean, give me a break.”

Homan slammed Democrats for enabling sanctuary policies that ultimately harm immigrant communities by protecting criminals.

He pointed out that when ICE officers are forced to enter communities to apprehend dangerous individuals, they often encounter other illegal aliens who then face deportation as well.

He rejected the idea of mass amnesty as a solution to the border crisis, warning it would only exacerbate the problem. “This country is showing over and over again that if you don’t have consequences, they’re going to keep coming,” Homan said.

“Amnesty means millions of them are going to come saying, ‘Look, I can cross the border illegally, I can lose my case in front of an immigration judge, and I still get to stay.’”

Homan didn’t mince words about the illegal aliens already in the country, emphasizing that their unlawful entry constitutes a crime under U.S. law and that they must be removed. “The law is clear. We’ll give you a due process,” he said.

“You can have your day in court, but when you’re ordered removed, you’re going to leave and we’re going to make you leave.”

Homan’s firm stance aligns perfectly with Trump’s America First agenda. His unwavering message is that illegal immigration undermines the rule of law and creates chaos.

“It’s not okay to cross this border. It’s a crime,” Homan said.

“Every illegal alien that crossed that border committed a crime, and it’s not okay for you to be in this country illegally.”

He drove the point home with a relatable analogy:

“I don’t go 200 miles an hour to come to this interview tonight because I don’t want a ticket. I don’t lie on my taxes because I don’t want to get tax evasion. Well, it’s not okay to be in this country illegally. So if you’re in the country illegally, you got a problem.”

Homan’s tough-on-illegal-immigration approach is a stark contrast to the Biden administration’s border failures, which have resulted in record illegal crossings and weakened national security.

Under Trump’s leadership, Homan is poised to restore order at the border and send a strong message: in America, the law matters.

Biden-Harris are acting as if they’re trying to fabricate a crisis. Is it because they’re trying to sabotage the incoming president?

Because the White House pushed us one step closer to war in a completely reckless move.

President Biden has reversed course on a policy he once deemed “reckless,” authorizing the shipment of antipersonnel land mines to Ukraine—a decision that underscores a significant shift in his stance on the controversial weapon.

A U.S. official told The New York Post that while the administration has previously supplied Ukraine with anti-tank mines, it will now provide “non-persistent antipersonnel land mines (APLs)” as part of its military aid package.

The official emphasized that these devices differ from Russia’s indiscriminate land mines, as they are designed to deactivate after a set time frame, ranging from 4 hours to 2 weeks, theoretically minimizing long-term risks to civilians.

This policy change, coming on the heels of Biden’s decision to approve the use of American-made long-range missiles against Russian targets, is aimed at halting Russian advances along the Ukrainian front lines.

“APLs, which can be rapidly deployed, are designed to blunt the advances of ground forces, and, as such, will significantly support Ukraine’s defense against Russian advances in its sovereign territory, particularly in the east, especially when used in concert with the other munitions that the United States provides Ukraine,” the official explained.

The Washington Post first broke the news of the Biden administration’s decision, which reflects the urgent need to counter Russia’s relentless assaults on eastern Ukraine.

“Russia is attacking Ukrainian lines in the east with waves of troops, regardless of the casualties that they’re suffering,” a U.S. official said, noting that these mines are tailored to stop such offensives.

The official added that Ukraine had pledged not to deploy the mines in densely populated areas.

This move marks a stark departure from Biden’s earlier rhetoric.

In 2020, Biden criticized then-President Donald Trump for supporting the strategic use of land mines, calling the policy “another reckless act” that would “put more civilians at risk of being injured by unexploded mines.”

As president, Biden also rolled back a Trump-era policy in June 2022, restricting the U.S. military’s production and deployment of land mines and limiting their use to the Korean Peninsula.

“President Biden is committed to continuing the United States’ role as the world’s leader in mitigating the harmful consequences of anti-personnel landmines worldwide,” White House National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson stated at the time, condemning the “devastating impact” land mines have had in Ukraine.

Yet Biden’s latest decision echoes a pattern of reversals.

He previously prohibited Ukraine from using U.S.-supplied ATACMS missiles to strike inside Russian territory, only to later authorize their deployment.

Now, with land mines added to the arsenal, the administration appears to be walking back its earlier commitments in response to mounting pressure from the battlefield.

Critics are likely to question the consistency of Biden’s policies and whether these shifts reflect a coherent strategy or reactive decision-making.

While the administration claims the mines will only be used to bolster Ukrainian defenses in the east, this dramatic reversal is certain to reignite debate over the ethical and strategic implications of their use in modern warfare.

The aftermath of the election has hit hard for many Leftist news outlets. They’re currently wallowing in misery over Trump’s victory.

And MSNBC headquarters are on fire thanks to this latest post-election report.

Far-Left Viewers Abandon MSNBC’s Morning Joe After Hosts Visit Trump at Mar-a-Lago

MSNBC’s Morning Joe has seen a steep decline in viewership since co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski disclosed on Monday that they traveled to Mar-a-Lago to meet with President-elect Donald Trump. The controversial visit and its fallout have triggered backlash from across the political spectrum, as well as a significant ratings dip.

The revelation, shared live on air, surprised many of the show’s regular viewers. Scarborough and Brzezinski explained they went to Trump’s Palm Beach estate to “restart communications” with him. However, their audience appeared unconvinced. According to Nielsen data reported by Mediaite, viewers began tuning out shortly after the announcement.

Between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. Eastern, Morning Joe’s viewership dropped 17%, from 839,000 to 694,000. Among the highly valued 25-54 age demographic, the decline was even steeper, plunging 38%, from 113,000 to 70,000 viewers. Ratings improved slightly during the 8 a.m. hour, climbing to 775,000, but dipped again to 770,000 by 9 a.m.

Backlash From All Sides

The fallout extended far beyond viewer metrics. Liberals and conservatives alike criticized the co-hosts, accusing them of hypocrisy. The pair, who have been vocal Trump critics, were denounced for what some perceived as opportunism.

One anonymous former Morning Joe guest told The New York Post that Scarborough “gives opportunism a bad name,” calling him a “hollow man” driven solely by a desire for success and status.

Jon Stewart, host of The Daily Show, mocked the duo for meeting with Trump after previously likening him to a threat to democracy. Similarly, former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley accused the co-hosts of attempting to curry favor with Trump to boost their ratings.

Criticism also came from MSNBC’s competitors. Ana Navarro and Sunny Hostin of ABC’s The View questioned the journalistic ethics of the meeting, with Hostin remarking that it wasn’t necessary to “kiss his ring” to cover him accurately.

MSNBC insiders reportedly shared similar sentiments. Staffers anonymously called the meeting an act of “cowardice” and labeled it “disgusting but frankly unsurprising.”

Despite the backlash, Scarborough defended their decision, stating that they’re “here to report on him and to hopefully provide you insights that are going to better equip all of us in understanding these deeply unsettling times.”

Broader Ratings Challenges for MSNBC

The ratings trouble for Morning Joe mirrors a larger trend at MSNBC, which has struggled since Trump’s election victory. The network’s primetime viewership has dropped 54%, with its daily average falling to 736,000 viewers—a drop from 1.1 million the previous month.

This marks a sharp contrast from Election Day, when MSNBC’s coverage, anchored by Rachel Maddow, drew an average of 6 million viewers, outperforming CNN’s 5.1 million, according to Nielsen.

Changes on the Horizon

The controversy surrounding Morning Joe coincides with major shifts at MSNBC’s parent company, Comcast. On Wednesday, Comcast announced plans to spin off NBCUniversal’s cable channels, including MSNBC, CNBC, and others, as part of a reorganization influenced by the ascent of digital streaming.

The move will separate some entertainment and news properties while retaining key assets like the Peacock streaming service, theme parks, and film studios. Comcast shares rose 1.7% in premarket trading following the announcement.

As MSNBC grapples with internal backlash, external criticism, and declining ratings, Morning Joe faces tough questions about how to improve their ratings as they try to reengage communications with Donald Trump after falsely claiming he’s a threat to democracy.

Democrats want to infiltrate Capitol Hill with their insane ideologies. But Republicans are ready to fight back.

And the GOP House Speaker put the hammer down on this radical Leftist in Congress.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) made his stance clear following the election of Sarah McBride, the first transgender-identifying biological male to Congress.

Addressing reporters on Tuesday, Johnson firmly stated, “A man cannot become a woman,” emphasizing his adherence to scripture and traditional definitions of gender.

Speaking to the media, Johnson said he wanted to clarify his position on the transgender issue after being asked about it during a gathering earlier in the day.

“Let me be unequivocally clear,” the Speaker said. “A man is a man and a woman is a woman. And a man cannot become a woman.”

This statement follows a controversial move by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), who recently introduced legislation aimed at restricting McBride from using women’s bathrooms in the Capitol.

The proposed bill would mandate that House members and staff use single-s*x facilities corresponding to their biological s*x within the Capitol and adjacent office buildings.

Mace defended her position passionately, drawing on her own experiences as a survivor of s*xual violence. “I’m not going to stand for a man, someone with a p*nis, coming into a women’s locker room,” Mace told reporters. “That’s not okay. I’m a victim of abuse myself. A r*pe survivor.”

She continued, “I have PTSD from the abuse I’ve suffered at the hands of a man. And I know how vulnerable women and girls are in private spaces. So, I am absolutely, a hundred percent, going to stand in the way of any man who wants to be in a women’s restroom. I will be there fighting you every step of the way.”

I never thought we would need a sign for this, but women's restrooms are for BIOLOGICAL women. Not men. pic.twitter.com/42lOMhqHFT

POLITICO reported that Johnson addressed the issue directly with his GOP colleagues, telling the conference that trans-identifying biological males would not be permitted to use women’s restrooms in the U.S. Capitol. According to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Johnson assured members, “There’s not going to be any biological men using our restrooms.”

Greene echoed Johnson’s sentiments, calling the idea of biological men in women’s spaces “pretty aggressive.”

Prominent voices outside Congress have also joined the debate. Podcast host Megyn Kelly criticized those opposing Mace’s proposal, voicing her concerns about maintaining boundaries in women’s spaces.

“Women have a right to know when they go into a bathroom, no men will be in there,” Kelly wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “Why should members of Congress or female Hill staffers have to sacrifice this security so that men pretending to be women can feel better?”

What’s pathetic about it @deanbphillips? Women have a right to know when they go into a bathroom, no men will be in there.
Why should members of Congress or female Hill staffers have to sacrifice this security so that men pretending to be women can feel better? https://t.co/tLRyqedvt6

This entire topic shouldn’t be as large of a debate as it has been. As Mike Johnson simply put it, biological men are men and biological women are women.

And biological men should stay out of women’s restrooms and biological women should stay out of men’s restrooms. That shouldn’t be a controversial statement, but for the radical Left it is.

There’s a major culture shift going on in America. More and more people are opening up about their support for Donald Trump.

And Democrats are outraged after the NFL ditches woke policies and teams up with Trump instead.

NFL’s Stance on Trump Dance Craze: No Plans to Intervene

As the Trump Dance craze continues to sweep through the NFL, some critics are voicing disapproval, hoping the league will step in to halt the trend. But according to Front Office Sports (FOS), the NFL has no intention of putting an end to these celebrations.

League spokesman Brian McCarthy told FOS there’s “no issue” with the celebratory dances and no plans to prohibit them.

“There’s no issue with a celebratory dance such as what took place yesterday or the previous week with the 49ers on November 10,” McCarthy explained. When it comes to TV coverage, he clarified, “It’s up to the networks to cover them as they see fit.”

Simply put, the NFL will neither discourage players from performing the Trump Dance nor instruct broadcasters to avoid airing it.

This permissive approach has raised questions about consistency in the league’s enforcement of rules.

Critics point to a notable example: Joey Bosa was fined for wearing a MAGA hat during an interview, yet performing a dance inspired by Donald Trump’s iconic gestures seems to draw no similar penalty.

The key difference lies in the NFL’s rules. Touchdown celebrations are allowed as long as they don’t cross into excessive profanity or s*xual suggestiveness. On the other hand, league regulations prohibit players from wearing or displaying personal or political statements on their attire.

This distinction explains why Bosa’s MAGA hat earned a fine while his participation in the Trump Dance on November 10 did not.

Since then, other players, including Brock Bowers, Nick Bosa, Za’Darius Smith, Malcolm Rodriguez, and Calvin Ridley, have joined the trend, enthusiastically doing the Trump dance after key plays.

If the league had attempted to clamp down on Trump Dance celebrations, it might have faced significant backlash—not just from fans but from Donald Trump himself, who would likely seize the opportunity to criticize the NFL.

Such a move would also require the league to reconcile its current stance with its response to the Kaepernick protests, which were overtly political and explicitly aimed at advocating for social change.

The Trump Dance, by contrast, doesn’t overtly disrupt games or violate league rules against vulgarity. Additionally, it lacks an overtly political message, making it more challenging for the NFL to justify restricting it.

The league appears mindful of avoiding another clash with Trump, especially after his criticism of the NFL during the Kaepernick protests. As FOS’s Michael McCarthy points out, Trump’s vocal opposition may have contributed to an 8% and 10% drop in NFL viewership during the 2016 and 2017 seasons, respectively.

For now, the NFL’s position is clear: the Trump Dance celebrations will continue, as long as they remain within the bounds of league rules.

And that response alone is likely causing Leftist NFL fans to lose their minds.

Joe Biden has opened up the flood gates at the border. It was only a matter of time before it came back to bite us.

And now Homeland Security is sounding the alarm on a secret infiltration of the US.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is raising alarms about the growing reach of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA), which now operates in at least 16 states across the U.S., according to an internal memo revealed last week.

The New York Post broke the story on Monday, highlighting that DHS officials have noted a surge in TdA’s “violent tendencies” in areas like Washington, D.C., Virginia, Montana, and Wyoming.

The gang’s presence has also been documented in California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin—spanning areas home to nearly half the U.S. population.

The memo makes a clear connection between the gang’s activities and “increases in migrant populations” in regions like the nation’s capital and surrounding Virginia suburbs.

DHS warned, “As the population of Venezuelan nationals continues to increase, the potential for violent TdA migrants is highly probable.”

The gang has reportedly targeted D.C. and nearby areas for their accessibility, allowing members to commit thefts and assaults with ease.

Border Patrol sources told the Post that members of TdA often exploit the Biden administration’s lax border policies, entering the U.S. through the southern border before being released into the country.

Gang members are frequently identified by tattoos, including a “five-point crown and a clock and roses.”

The gang’s violence isn’t hypothetical—it’s already led to tragedy.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) sources confirmed earlier this year that the suspect in the February murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley is “an active member” of TdA.

Riley was attacked and killed while jogging near the University of Georgia campus, sparking national outrage and renewed Republican calls for stricter immigration enforcement.

Then-candidate Donald Trump joined the chorus, demanding mass deportations of criminal illegal immigrants.

Tren de Aragua has continued to make headlines, with authorities in Aurora, Colorado, revealing over the summer that the gang had overtaken an apartment complex in the Denver suburbs.

Meanwhile, in New York City, TdA members have been implicated in s*x trafficking and violent altercations, including police shootings.

Tennessee has also been hit hard, as state investigators report that the gang is running s*x trafficking operations in major cities like Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, and Chattanooga.

Adding to the urgency, Trump announced on Monday his intent to use the military for mass deportations if he returns to the White House, underscoring the stakes in combating gangs like Tren de Aragua.

The Left can’t stand any bad press. And they’re willing to silence anyone who dares to stand in their way.

And now Democrats were just caught threatening journalists for one despicable reason.

Washington Post columnist Megan McArdle delivered a blunt assessment of liberal media bias on Monday, accusing the mainstream press of doing more harm than good for Democrats in the recent election cycle.

Her critique highlights how media indulgence of Democratic narratives may have backfired spectacularly.

“During this election cycle, I watched in astonishment as left-wing critics complained that the mainstream media was botching this election by ‘sanewashing’ Trump, failing in our duty to cover ‘not the odds, but the stakes’ and trading in false equivalence,” McArdle wrote.

“I was not astonished that progressives wanted us to spend more time criticizing Trump and less time pointing out the flaws of Joe Biden or Kamala Harris. I was amazed because they were talking as if this might affect the election’s outcome.”

As Democrats scramble to pinpoint their failures after President-elect Trump’s victory, McArdle highlighted a troubling reality for the liberal media: Americans simply don’t trust them.

A Gallup poll she cited revealed 54% of Democrats have “high trust” in the media, but that figure plummets to 27% among Independents and a paltry 12% among Republicans.

“This was damaging for the news media that had already spent down the very reputational capital that progressive critics were begging us to use. But it was also bad for Democrats. By letting them win so many news cycles, we handed them a series of pyrrhic victories,” McArdle continued.

Her column took aim at the media’s kid-glove treatment of President Biden’s glaring cognitive issues, which Democrats seemingly hoped the press would ignore until Biden’s withdrawal from the race.

“The stories that mattered the most during this year’s campaign were the ones where we had given Democrats the most ‘help.’ In the 2020 election cycle, Democratic primary contenders counted on us to give them room to move well to the left, especially on social issues, which is how Harris created the fodder for this year’s negative ads against her. This cycle, Democrats counted on us to downplay Biden’s shocking and obvious decline. The issue was handled with kid gloves, under threat of blowback from campaign operatives, readers, and even fellow journalists,” McArdle wrote.

She also criticized major outlets for parroting Democratic spin by labeling legitimate concerns about Biden’s alarming behavior as “cheapfakes.”

“In the age of the internet, it’s no longer possible to win elections by working the refs, because the only decisions that matter are made by the folks in the stands,” she warned.

“The refs can keep your coalition in line, but they can’t help you expand it — indeed, they’re likely to shrink it, as more people conclude that the game is rigged. Which means the more often your party wins the calls, the more frequently they will lose the game.”

Even The Washington Post editorial board, usually a Democratic ally, acknowledged in November that the party’s refusal to confront Biden’s obvious decline undermined their credibility.

In a stinging editorial, they argued Harris and the White House’s denials of Biden’s mental fitness destroyed Democrats’ standing as “the party of truth.”

The editorial’s subheadline delivered a scathing verdict: “Democrats’ coverup of the president’s decline hurt their claim of being the party of truth.”

McArdle’s sharp critique underscores how the liberal media’s blind partisanship has left Democrats exposed, with even their most loyal allies questioning their honesty.

If Democrats can’t face their own failures — and the media can’t stop shielding them — their future prospects look grim.

Political violence is becoming more common nowadays. And there’s no end in sight.

Now a bomb threat against this elected official left Americans holding their breath.

A troubling incident unfolded Monday morning when a man was arrested after allegedly entering New York State Senator Cordell Cleare’s Harlem office and threatening to harm those inside.

Authorities identified the suspect as 42-year-old Vadim Dergachev, who now faces charges including making terroristic threats, threat of mass harm, third-degree menacing, and second-degree harassment.

The incident occurred around 10:15 a.m. at the Adam Clayton Powell State Office Building.

According to police and staff accounts, Dergachev demanded to see the senator, reportedly shouting threats such as, “I’m gonna blow this place up.”

Fortunately, Senator Cleare, who represents New York’s 30th district, was not present at the office.

However, she was on the phone with a staff member who recounted the frightening confrontation.

“She said that this man had come in and demanded immediately, just said, ‘I demand, I want to see (Cleare), and if I don’t get to see her, I’m going to shoot this office up, I’m going to bomb the place, and remarks similar to that,” Cleare recalled.

The suspect reportedly made references to political figures, expressing support for President-elect Donald Trump and sharing disparaging remarks about President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

The incident has drawn sharp condemnation from across the political spectrum.

The state legislature’s Black, Puerto Rican, Hispanic, and Asian Caucus issued a strong statement, denouncing the threats and emphasizing the importance of rejecting violence in political discourse.

“Regardless of political affiliation or preferred candidates, there is absolutely no room for threats or violence in our public discourse,” the caucus stated.

“It is incumbent upon every leader, who holds a federal or local office, to set a positive example for all constituents by promoting respectful dialogue and fostering a culture of nonviolence.”

In a time of heightened political tensions, the incident serves as a sobering reminder of the need to prioritize safety, mutual respect, and civility.

Political disagreements must never escalate into threats or harm, and leaders across the aisle have a shared responsibility to denounce violence and encourage constructive engagement.

It was only months ago when Donald Trump was shot. Now he’s our next president.

We can’t allow the most barbaric of our society to dictate who gets into power.
