Newly sworn-in Vice-President Kamala Harris returned to the Senate today to administer the oath to three new Senators, including the replacement to fill the California seat she vacated this week.

<p>Joe Biden was sworn-in this morning as the new President of the United States, and his running mate, Kamala Harris, is now the first woman to ever serve as Vice-President or President.</p>
<p>Although Washington, D.C., was barricaded and secured like a war zone, Biden and Harris still held their inauguration on the steps of the US Capitol that just two weeks ago was assaulted by an angry mob incited by Donald Trump’s lies that the November election had been stolen.</p>

<p>San Diego Congressman Juan Vargas held a press conference to voice his support for Congress to impeach Donald Trump even though the President has only 11 days left in office.</p>
<p>Speaking in downtown San Diego after returning from Washington, D.C., Congressman Vargas said Trump “is dangerous, he needs to be removed from office.”</p>
A country is under attack by an attempted coup headed by the sitting President that is trying desperately to cling to power after losing an election. No, this isn’t the plot to a made-for-TV movie, or another Tom Clancy suspense novel. It’s happening to us.

<p>What’s the difference between Chicano, Latino, Mexican American, Hispanic, Chicanx or Latinx?</p>
<p>Historically, the question of identification for Mexicans left in the U.S. after the U.S.-Mexico War ended in 1848 as to who we are and how we identify ourselves remains a generational “problem” or “issue,” to date.</p>
<p>After 173 years, Chicanos remain a conquered, colonized, occupied, hunted, and powerless people due to this unresolved “problem” or “issue.”</p>
