Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

AP on Trump now, and Biden in June 2022.
For Trump, declining to 36 percent approval is “good news.”
For Biden, holding steady at 41% is “a source of concern.”

It is driving me crazy that I’m not seeing widespread coverage of these statements by the President.
This is a big deal!
If a news organization isn’t putting this in front of their readers/viewers, they are failing at their job to inform the public.

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.
It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

Trump is just making stuff up now: "The cost of Thanksgiving turkeys was down by 33% compared to the Biden era. You know what you did during the Biden era for Thanksgiving? You said, 'Oh my God, this is terrible.' It was a rotten Thanksgiving."

Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

I think this when lefties are like, too whacko. The good genes of Sydney Sweeny is that she's skinny and has huge tits. There are lots of blonde white actresses. Is she actually a white supremacist?!
Thing is, you flirt with white supremacy, you get a big hit of publicity & approval from the white supremacist media network that sprawls across this country. It's heady.
But then you leave that bubble & encounter the larger public & realize, oh, huh, they're not into this garbage, oops.

We must keep calling out those that cave to the Trump Admin, and the latest is Northwestern.
As part of their "deal," NU will pay $75 million, stop vital research, renege on agreements with its students over the war in Gaza, and more.

A basic and intuitive understanding of the law is that punishments should not be retroactive upon a policy change.
This is even worse. There is no formal policy change, they are simply penalizing couples for following common practice - explicitly allowed by Congress - for decades.
