Remember that this is what the Trump-Republican big, ugly bill was all about. It's Robin Hood in reverse.

Why would any Democrat vote for a continuing resolution that greenlights this regime's cruelty?

Listen, Des Moines wants its favourite black person back, these moms are out for blood.
Des Moines public school issues statements yesterday (scroll down) saying that Ian Roberts had an FBI background check in 2023 and it raised no red flags and Roberts said he was a US Citizen.

To summarize: ICE said Roberts entered the US in 1999. He was running track for Copin Sate though in 1997

Ok, so these claims coming from ICE via FOX are just plain weird. Pre-9/11 *maybe* you could fade into the system like this, but after? SEVIS pretty much requires them to keep precise track of students.

Really makes me wonder if they have mixed up two people's files, merged them into one.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

A lot of the horror in Donald Trump’s sequel is new.

Sure, he was terrible the first time James Comey and Vladimir Putin made him president. But his misery couldn’t measured in donated kidneys that had to be junked, cures for diseases that won’t be found, and intentional infant deaths due to HIV.
Here's how Republicans are planning to throw millions off Medicaid and lie about it
Trump is teaching his minions to say, "We didn't insure anyone"/"They deserved it."

A U.S. Congresswoman disappeared for the last six months of her term. Nobody noticed.

Turns out she's in a memory care unit, & her staff (and apparently other people?) covered it up (though she was somehow propped up for an event a month ago?)

Absolutely fucking bonkers that a former FBI director publicly declares he believers a major party presidential candidate is an asset of a hostile foreign power and it won't even register as a blip. No media. No movement in the polls. No outrage. Nothing.
