If an entire large city was on fire I’d think the president would be expected to go there to tour the damage.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Rep Dr Rich McCormick R-GA is an emergency physician. He is openly advocating for anyone who can not produce citizenship documents to his satisfaction, should be left to suffer & die. Unchristian. Un-American. Inhumane. This is who Trump & Republicans are

Newsmax host to Rep. Rich McCormick: "You've seen this whole game, how illegal immigrants come into the ER with sniffles and they get to benefit from Medicaid, but Democrats are blaming Republicans for the increase in healthcare [costs]."

Department of Justice lawyers, from Main Justice to AUSAs in the districts, have ALWAYS enjoyed a sort of aura of truth and justice and trust. That was arguably always unjustifiable but Trump DoJ has absolutely pissed it away with compulsive lying.

There goes another Trump admin talking point.

Claim: Abrego told an immigration judge that he fears persecution in Costa Rica.

Judge Xinis reads the immigration judge's ruling, which doesn't say that.

"That's very troubling to me," Xinis tells Ensign.
