>The X post in question is indeed authentic; the official @KamalaHarris X account originally published it on April 21, 2017, as part of a longer thread on the topic of immigration and citizenship. The full thread is as follows: > >>An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal. >> >>Give people a path to citizenship. The vast majority of folks we're talking about are living a lawful life and paying taxes. >> >>It's ludicrous to say we're going to deport 12 million people. Now how are you going to do that? >> >>We are not a society that is going to stand for tearing families apart. We are not going to buy into this administration's fear mongering.

>If Your Time is short > >Former President Donald Trump’s running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, joined about 40 other Republicans in 2023 to send the U.S. Justice Department a letter urging it to enforce the Comstock Act to crack down on abortion pills. > >The 1873 law bars the mailing of "obscene" materials used in abortions. Republicans have tried to revive it to limit or ban mailing abortion pills. > >The Republicans’ letter challenged the department’s interpretation of the law and demanded that it shut down all mailing of abortion medication.

The key facts >- Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz signed a bill in 2023 that provides paid family leave starting in January 2026. >- Democrats in Congress have proposed the Family Act since 2013, but this paid family leave plan has not progressed. >- President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better proposal initially included four weeks of paid family leave, but Sen. Joe Manchin, then a Democrat, objected to the bill. Without Republican support, that doomed the bill. The legislation that became the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act did not include family leave.
