Dems wanting to give undocumented immigrants free health care is MAGA’s newest mantra. It’s a total lie (and they know it) but they keep saying it. It’s a winning message for them with their miseducated followers. They keep concocting new fairy tales so they don’t have to deal with real issues.

I’m worried about Marge. Lately she’s been saying some things that are actually coherent and truthful. That’s very un-MAGA of her.

Black Hawks Over American Streets

Helicopters in the night, children stripped from their beds, citizens detained without charge; Trump’s police state has arrived, and what happened in Chicago will soon be happening everywhere.

I don’t believe for one second that whoever they dragged away was Tren de Aragua. Just another excuse to harass and disappear some hapless immigrant for the offense of being brown.
