Republicans have no compassion or empathy. The pain & suffering of others especially the poor and most vulnerable does not affect them in any way. They do not believe their job is to make people’s life better - they just care about power, control and making the rich richer.

"During that time in El Salvador, Abrego Garcia was TORTURED."
For weeks, Trump officials have refused to send him to Costa Rica even though he said he'd accept that. The ruling savagely details extensive misconduct here.
We all know what happened: Trump/Miller decided sending him there wouldn't be sufficiently dehumanizing. 3/

Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's flailing on the economy. Epstein haunts him. Republicans are beginning to revolt against him.
He's not all powerful.
A tyrant can exercise tyranny only insofar as the objects of his tyranny continue to allow it.
Remember this.

In my newspaper column, I wrote about the crazy late-night screed from Donald Trump. @pbump.com said it needs to be read out loud to understand just how bonkers it is. So we had an AI voice read it. And now think what you'd do if your grandpa did this.

Veteran detained by ICE: I identified myself as a US citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas into my car, dragged me out. Even after I complied, I was held for 3 days without charges. No phone call, no lawyer, no medical care

Couple of things here:
1. Trump says he took another cognitive test recently
2. In front of "large numbers of doctors and experts"
3. He called the examinations "long...and very boring"
4. If you're given 3 cognitive exams in one year by panels of doctors, something is VERY wrong with you

This is a ploy to get around the Flores settlement, which requires that children be removed from immigration detention after 20 days. Building a school in the detention center makes it look like it's a licensed facility for child care but it's not.
