Even BILL CLINTON is saying he doesn’t care if the full release of the files implicates Bill Clinton. Amazing.
Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

Not sure if these figures are correct, but TOTAL emergency service spending (the bulk of healthcare spending for this group) on undocumented immigrants between 2017-2023 was $27B, or $6B a year. To put that into context, oil companies receive about $35B per year in subsidies.
The White House getting in the Christmas spirit by blaming the most vulnerable members of society for the suffering Trump is responsible for.

Jesus would have hated these people.

My idea of "support the troops" is a combination of "quit sending them places where they might get killed" and "quit ordering them to instigate in ways that would make a sane person retaliate with lethal force".

Mark Kelly knows exactly what political violence looks like. The fact that the Pentagon is investigating him for urging troops to refuse illegal orders, even as Trump calls for political enemies to be punished, shows how dangerous this administration has become.
Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."
