Funny how there’s always “no money” for health care, food, or housing—until ICE needs billions. Then the vault swings open. If cruelty had a budget line, this would be it.

At 10 am on @MSNOWNews, I’ll discuss Smith transcript. He debunked the claim that Trump was just contesting an election like other presidents. Trump knowingly engaged in fraud and took steps to obstruct the lawful transfer of presidential power.

The story was always already about an impoverished unmarried couple facing a pitiless bureaucracy, having a baby in a barn, and then having to hide from a tyrant. The baby grew up to say that the poor were blessed and the neighbor is he who shows mercy. You can’t hide from the politics of all that.
This year, statues of tall men clad in all black with masks drawn up to hide their faces are disrupting the serenity of a Charlotte church's Nativity scene.
The figures are depicted approaching the Holy Family and the Wise Men with handcuffs as if preparing to make an arrest.

Starting today, around 22 million Americans enrolled in Obamacare will see their tax credits run out.

Early retirees, mid-income consumers, small business owners and residents of states won by President Trump are among those who'd be affected most.

Trump destroyed the White House East Wing. Now he wants to destroy more buildings: "...she had heard and believed that the White House was circumventing the GSA and its legal procedures to solicit bids to recommend the four buildings for demolition. By law, GSA has sole authority over this process."

Every accusation is an confession; the Trump admin says they’ll “re-review” 230,000 refugees who came under Biden in case they weren’t truly refugees, while also ordering the State Department to declare that white South Africans automatically meet the definition of refugees.
Some news on Trump's doling out of most refugee slots to white South Africans: Two former State Department officials tell us basic protocols designed to determine whether this group actually merits protection have simply been scrapped. It's just whim.
