Padilla: It’s not just undocumented folks who are being detained and arrested. It’s legal immigrants—even US citizens. We know of at least 170 US citizens who have been caught up in these raids and put in detention centers.

It’s the intended effect of this administration to stoke fear and terror

40 billion for Argentina...40 billions...you could build housing for the homeless, ensure subsidies for Medicaid, restore SNAP cuts.
But no, Bessent lied and first said 20 billion, all to bail out Jon Paulson, his billionaire mentor, who made bad investments in Argentina. What a lying scam artist.

Chris Christie:
"The Department of Justice is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a Capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That's what it is."

Trump is transactional and corrupt to the bones. We still don't know how much he got with this deal. Biden has decades of foreign policy experience as a Senator. However, as a President he seems to be paralysed by the amount of money he received from AIPAC.

It says a lot that Trump can find $20 billion to bail out Argentina, but won't help the millions of Americans who are in real need at home.

So much for “America First.”
