Honestly, I don't think Trump's incomprehension of political asylum has anything to do with his serious personality-disorder-related psychiatric afflictions and his seeming dementia, which both raise 25th Amendment questions. I do, however, think it reflects his utter stupidity ….
The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.
He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.
How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

When Nazis rounded up their Jewish neighbors, some Christians chose to be Upstanders.
“The reality is this,” said Sen. Dick Durbin, “people are living in fear of government policy. Their only hope is for friends and fellow Americans to stand up for them and to stand up for the values that fit this nation.”

As ICE rocks Chicago, Catholics respond with prayer — and protest
(RNS) — ‘As a person of faith, as a leader of faith, to not speak of it is simply unethical — and sinful,’ said the Rev. Brendan Curran, a Dominican priest.

The optics of Trump building a ballroom that 99.9% of Americans will never set foot in while millions line up for food banks are worth more than any policy paper or economic proposal. This image is a visceral punch in the mouth that needs no words. It should haunt the GOP for a generation.

Trump’s power depends on maintaining the illusion that he’s all-powerful, and that Americans adore him.
But that illusion is harder to maintain if millions of people are in the streets protesting.
This is why Republicans are trying to discredit No Kings Day rallies before they've even happened.

Let’s not forget that every single Republican who stands by and enables Donald Trump could stop this recklessness today, tomorrow or any damn day of the week. Their failure—their refusal—to do so makes them complicit in his crimes and the crimes of his corrupt, lawless regime.
