@uscensusbureau 2. After this story was published, the Census Bureau revealed that it is removing the #CitizenshipQuestion it was originally planning to include on next year's island-area census forms (I've deleted earlier tweet that said those forms include the Q)👇

232 years ago today, the framers of the US Constitution met here in Philadelphia to sign a founding document that — before making any mention of voting or a president — says an "actual enumeration shall be made" every 10 years. They were referring to the census👇 #ConstitutionDay
2. At country’s founding, the census was not a head count of every person living in US. Constitution explicitly excluded “Indians not taxed.” Those who were counted weren’t counted equally. Constitution called for counting of enslaved people as 3/5ths “of all other persons”👇
3. After the Civil War, the 14th Amendment was ratified to require the counting of the "whole number of persons," ensuring the rights of formerly enslaved people👇

Former US Senator Al Franken (Facebook post) - THREAD
It had to be surreal for Alex Acosta to stand on the South Lawn and hear Donald Trump say that he had wanted his Labor Secretary to stay, but that Acosta had insisted on leaving.
2/ From Former US Senator Al Franken FB post: It was bad enough that Trump was saying the opposite of the truth & everyone knew it. Trump was making it even more embarrassing by saying Acosta had been a great Sec of Labor w/out citing anything he had actually accomplished.
3/ From Former US Senator Al Franken FB post: That’s because everything Trump liked about Acosta’s record as secretary was something almost every American would hate. Acosta’s proposed changes to the overtime rule will take about $1.2 billion a year away from workers.

“Jurisdiction of” covers territories of the United States that are sub-national administrative divisions overseen by the federal government. They differ from U.S. states and Native American tribes, which have limited sovereignty.
The territories are classified by incorporation and whether they have an "organized" government through an organic act passed by Congress.
All U.S. territories are part of the United States (because they are under U.S. sovereignty), but unincorporated territories are not considered to be integral parts of the United States, and the U.S. constitution only applies partially in those territories.

Here's the Palm Beach Post story @ missing money from the inaugural ball sponsored by National Committee of Asian American Republicans for 900 ppl @ $75/pp. The money is nowhere to be found..Reported by @maddow 4/12/19. #SundayMorning palmbeachpost.com/news/20190412/…
2-"Cindy Yang, the one-time head of fundraising for the comm hosted the gala. Her access to Trump through his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach & involvement in groups linked to the Chinese Communist Party prompted top congressional Democrats to seek a fed investigation."
3-"..the guests included several Chinese nationals.. Foreign nationals are barred from donating to American political committees.Without public receipts, there’s no way to know who gave money and if any laws were broken."

The Second Passport /Second Citizenship thread now.

Hiya guys, so here we are.

The aim of this thread is to show you options, to bring to your awareness one of the ways (there are many), the super rich, rich and upper milldle class fo your country use to keep themselves and...
their families safe in times of great political turmoil, economic devastation, and war.

Let me ask you this: if a war breaks out (God forbid) will you and your loved ones be able to get out quickly, alive and safely?

Ruminate over that before you answer. Think over it. Slowly.
You know how whenever elections draw near, many well-to-do parents, take their families and travel out of the country?

Why do you think they do that?

Because no one wants to be running around with children/loved ones, and then get caught up in this contraption we call country.

Did you know that your US visa can take you into many other countries? I shared this info yesterday and people were shocked. If you have a US visa, why not use it to full capacity?

This is a list of all the countries you can visit with a US, UK or Canadian visa.

A Thread!
1. MEXICO!

My dear friends, you can enjoy delicious margaritas, tacos (ooh yum), pristine resorts, bring telenovellas to life and Mexican festival fantasies for up to 180 days as long as you have a valid multiple entry visa into the US.

Visas Allowed: US visa.
2. COSTA RICA!

This country is paradise for anyone who loves nature and adrenaline. From tropical rainforests to white-water rafting to high wire activities and some of the most refreshing resorts tucked in nature, Costa Rica is ☄☄

Visas Allowed: US and Canadian visas.

hearing—"#China's Worldwide #Military Expansion" is a dramatic bellwether of growing concerns in Washington & beyond.

Now online—hard-hitting arguments + many data points, some deeply-analyzed yet hard to find elsewhere in public domain:

CAPT Jim Fanell, USN Ret, former @USPacificFleet N2:

"today, the PLA Navy consists of over 330 surface ships & 66 submarines, nearly 400 combatants. As of 4 May 2018, the @USNavy consists of 283 battle force ships: 211 surface ships and 72 submarines."

"By 2030, it is estimated [by Fanell & @SCheneyPeters in their chapter in @NavalWarCollege @ChinaMaritime Studies Institute's Chinese Naval Shipbuilding volume amazon.com/Chinese-Naval-… @USNIBooks that] the PLANavy will consist of some 550 ships: 450 surface ships & 99 submarines."
