At a White House faith luncheon today Trump tells those present that Putin bombed a nursing home.

When The U.S. Government Tried To Replace Migrant Farmworkers With High Schoolers
In 1964, a program that brought migrant Mexican laborers to the U.S. ended. So the U.S. recruited American students to pick crops instead. When they saw their living conditions, strikes ensued.

I keep thinking about how Gov Abbott had plenty of funds to fly and bus migrants all across the country but couldn't come up with a million for a flood warning system.

ICE Air Boeing Field - Avelo N801XT Thu 19 June 2025 ~11am PDT

Avelo N801XT landed, but they stopped the plane before turning around and obscured their activities. So no estimate of the number of abductees taken off or put on the plane.

1 bus + 1 van present.

Maybe King County will add a cam.

Undocumented immigrants contribute nearly $100 billion in taxes every year.

Meanwhile, the wealthiest 1% dodge $163 billion in taxes annually.

The real drain on America isn’t coming from the border — it’s coming from the boardroom.

WATCH: “I WAS AN INTERPRETER IN AFGHANISTAN FOR 3 YEARS.”

ICE grabs a man whose name they don’t even know at his immigration hearing, shackles him, expedites his removal.

Q: Why would anyone ever help our military again? — Trump is endangering and weakening our military.

Elon Musk gutted the federal government, dismantled key institutions, and cut off food and medicine to some of the poorest people on the planet.

By leaving DOGE, he’s trying to restore his reputation and rescue his struggling businesses. He should never be allowed to recover.

4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care - Los Angeles Times

Don’t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:
4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care
In 2023, a Mexican girl, 4, was allowed U.S. entry for lifesaving medical care. She and her parents, who live in Bakersfield, have been told they must leave.

Reasonable universal principle: Not good when a president is old with age-related cognitive decline. That's a serious issue that merits extensive coverage.

But prominent media orgs aren't operating that way. They're negative on the party that addressed it, and indifferent to the party that didn't.

Elon Musk has cut somewhere between 0% and 3% of what he promised—and most of what was cut was not waste or fraud or abuse, but simply expenditures Mr. Musk did not personally favor for partisan reasons.

DOGE is the biggest program failure in the history of American government.

Many if not most people in the United States legitimately do not know that horrors like this one are happening. We all have to find ways to break through to those whom we can.

OMFG. Read this and weep for our country and the man whose life is ruined. The Trump administration did this and now claims it can't be fixed. That's not good enough.
