Wisconsin Supreme Court orders new legislative maps in redistricting case brought by Democrats

Americans must unite to reject 21st Century ‘alien land laws’
Now, taking a page from DeSantis, Congress is considering inserting an amendment into the National Defense Authorization Act that would ban visa holders from targeted countries from making certain agricultural purchases.
