It's amazing how Republicans NEVER have ANY agency.

Not once did it occur to this guy to put ANY blame on REPUBLICANS for OPPOSING ANY IMPROVEMENT TO THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM EN MASSE, meaning Dems HAD to cater to the weakest link in their own caucus to get it passed at all.

Aside from: why would far-right anti-immigrant protesters want to leave the country that they are protesting in?

So Rs are now openly advocating what they claim Ds are doing - encourage immigration of any sort so that they will vote for them...

The White House plans to give asylum to far-right anti-immigrant protesters from Europe. No. This is not a joke. It does put one in mind planned terrorism, however.

“It’s literally a kid’s worst nightmare having someone come take your parents in the middle of the night,” said one advocate. “No matter the outcome, you are turning a kid’s life upside down.” #FamiliesBelongTogether

“Individual health professionals and numerous medical orgs actively opposed the policy of family separation due to the trauma that it was predicted to cause,” said one 2021 study. The American Academy of Pediatrics, for example, called it “govt-sanctioned child abuse.”

new from @tusk81.bsky.social:

CNN found over 100 U.S. citizen children left without parents this year because of Trump’s mass deportation machine.

“This is the new family separation crisis,” said Zain Lakhani, director of migrant rights and justice at the @wrcommission.bsky.social.

About that governmental shutdown thing. Your 52 senators *COULD* change the senate rules at any time and pass that bill. The only problem, of course, is that you'd have to wake up the next morning with that hideously ugly, cruel thing sleeping next to you.

(And what about those Epstein files...?)

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

I’m willing to bet that Comey and Fitzgerald are smarter than the DoJ lawyers about what constitutes a conflict of interest, and I’m willing to bet they’ve already contemplated this and have a response prepared.

As a non-lawyer, I do sense this being the sort of thing a real estate lawyer might grab onto in trying to sound like a prosecutor.

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.
