20 infants booked into ICE custody. 3,800 children. I would never vote for this. Or contribute to this child abuse, child neglect and criminal child exploitation. Anyone profiting from this is a menace to society. Children are a trust for all of us. This is a trauma for our entire nation.
Marshall Project reporting reveals widespread violations of protections for children in immigration detention. Since Trump took office, at least 3,800 children under 18 (including 20 infants) have been booked into ICE custody.

- Speaker Johnson, bring this legislation to the House Floor immediately or step out of the way.
We now have a bipartisan majority of members of Congress demanding a vote to extend ACA tax credits and keep health care affordable for all Americans.

Massie: Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs that did not exist. Now it's the same playbook. Except we're told that drugs are the WMDs. If it were about drugs, we'd bomb Mexico or China or Colombia. This is about oil and regime change.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.

The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

NEW: President Trump is expanding the previous 19-country travel ban to a whopping 39 countries (plus the Palestinian Authority), and appears to expand a block on legal immigration to now include spouses, children, and parents of U.S. citizens, who were previously exempted.

Here's Trump's Chief of Staff openly admitting Trump is weaponizing YOUR government for his own "score settling" and retribution.

This is the most corrupt administration in history and they're not even pretending otherwise.

Read Seth's whole thread, but this kicker is the key.
As with most things Trump related, I think there's no point looking for a 14-dimensional chess explanation for what anyone is doing. I don't think Wiles is a savvy operator playing a Vanity Fair journalist to advance her own interests. I thinks she's a damaged person enabling other damaged people.

—Musk is “an avowed ketamine [user].”

MK and I cherish the time that we got to spend with Rob and Michele Reiner — we were devastated to learn of their passing.

Titans of the industry in every sense, the Reiners' legacy is secured through works of art that impacted generations.

May their memories be a blessing.

Well, the EU has just locked down €210 billion of Russian central bank cash. And this time, no veto could stop Brussels from doing it.
