Were the oil companies tipped off BEFORE Congress was notified?

Reporter: Did you speak with the oil companies before the operation? Did you tip them off?

Trump: Before and after. They want to go in and they’re going to do a great job.

Found these bacon and eggs gummies at Dollar Tree. Couldn't resist grabbing them, and while I was surprised with the novelty, I have to admit I was a little disappointed they didn't actually taste like bacon or eggs.

This isn't a #Trump problem, it's a #GOP problem.

You ALL know how dangerous the attacks on the rule of law are. You understand EXACTLY what's at stake.

By choosing power over principles history will judge you as the cowards you are. Every. Single. One of you.

Trump: "I don't think we're necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be, like dead."

Well, well, well. #Mexico had emergency search & rescue in Texas before #FEMA.

'Murica for 'Muricas seems so quaintly outdated by #MAGA standards.

The Trump admin in a nutshell; in order to justify their own mistake, they’re going to release a violent felon with five deportations so he can testify against the guy with no criminal record they mistakenly deported.

In other words, the story is always more important than the principle.
The Trump admin has freed Jose Hernandez Reyes because he can testify against Abrego Garcia.

Hernandez, who has been deported 5 times, has also been arrested for:

—DUI w/ a handgun;
—cocaine possession;
—illegally transporting migrants; and
—drunkenly firing a gun.

Star witness against Kilmar Abrego García was due to be deported. Now he’s being freed.
Jose Ramon Hernandez Reyes is a three-time felon released early from federal prison to a halfway house in exchange for testifying against Kilmar Abrego García.

The f**cking point is you COULD HAVE DIED because doctors were frightened to treat you for a medical condition. Other woman might not be so lucky.

Instead of gaslighting your #FAFO moment, pull your big girl panties up and take ownership of YOUR #abortion policy.
