SHAME: Generation X had schoolmates with last names like Nguyen, Pham & Tran, born in war-torn Vietnam, and evacuated as young children by helicopter or from waterlogged boats in the South China Sea. Many went on to serve in our military.
Now we are sending them back?

ICE has its own Health Services Corps, which it operates in 17 large detention centers, but an increasingly large majority of people are held in private detention centers where the healthcare is operated by contractor or subcontractor, where ICE basically just manages the insurance claims.

New in PN: The legal "defense" for Trump's ballroom is a joke
"How does putting a pause on the Big Gilded Ballroom compromise national security? Well, the administration can’t say … because it would compromise national security."

@khanna.house.gov is the son of immigrants. He’s rightfully ashamed that this Administration is arresting and detaining U.S. citizens simply because of the way they look and talk.
It’s illegal, it’s wrong, and there need to be consequences.

“Fifth column” - it’s a term for groups inside a country who secretly serve a hostile foreign power, undermining the state from within.
Russia didn’t invent it but it’s perfected using it against the West.

Warnock: He's got a lot of nerve saying that I'm using faith to divide people. This is a man who literally had protesters gassed and beaten down so he could hold up a bible in front of a church.
