Must-read on Trump’s lawless Chicago invasion: “The president instructed federal agents to use extralegal violence against immigrants & citizens, pitting armed soldiers from 1 state against citizens of another… rubicons can’t be uncrossed.” www.thebulwark.com/p/emergency-...

So Trump thinks we should give a $20B bailout to the right wing government in Argentina, but we can’t afford to keep your healthcare from going up by $1000s of dollars a year? Bullshit.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred. He's a world-class hater.
You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate.

These hearings are just political theater to this Administration. She knows she doesn’t have to answer questions. Just go in there and act like a bully because she knows the Republicans will protect her like they protect child rapist.

Wow. Pam Bondi brought attack notes to the hearing today. Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst captured them in these stunning photos that show her plan entire time was to try to smear Democratic senators — not provide actual information.
