Dear Democrats: the pendulum swung last night toward a much needed correction. Please don’t make the mistake of thinking this was a mandate. There is much need for correction on our side as well. This was scream for democracy - not necessarily Democrats.

So, all of the posts from legislators, Noem, Johnson, Leavitt - etc. al. are patently false. Just lie after lie to convince MAGA and those who will not do any research, that immigrants taking away dollars from their health care.
Here are the facts about what immigrants, depending on their status, are eligible for. Note that 'unauthorized' doesn't include ACA. The only thing publicly financed allowed for them in K-12 schooling for children. And they still pay taxes.

Can you imagine, as a mother, what you would feel, what you would fear, if your child, a U.S. citizen, was arrested and detained simply because of his color. This isn't making America Great Again. This is making America a bully; an authoritarian bully.
My message to Kristi Noem is clear: Get out of Chicago.

Just conjecture but I wonder, considering Biden must have known, with the diagnosis he had, his days were likely numbered and hoped to win the election and then Harris would become president. But - the debate happened and everything changed.

The facts are easy to discover on your own but this administration doesn't like truth that makes them uncomfortable.

#BrianKilmeade on #FOXNews, when another host suggested homeless people who don't access gov. resources should be jailed, said "or involuntary lethal injection - just kill em." This man needs to be fired and not tomorrow but today. You don't need to reply to this but please call out Kilmeade & FOX.

If you burn the fabric part, you're looking at jail.
But it you use the pole part to assault a police officer, you get a presidential pardon, praise, and some cash.

Be aware there will come a time in the very near future, when you will be detained because your political beliefs & social posts are not in alignment with the administration. It's closer than you think. If you believe it's OK because you are MAGA - understand what is being institutionalized.

This is rich. The court found the fine in #Trump's #fraud case to be excessive but he was still convicted of fraud. Neither he or his sons can serve in corporate leadership positions for the next few years. But, the man convicted of fraud can serve as President of the United States. Gotta love it.

Have said before, "this is just more spaghetti on the wall to see what sticks." It's a clear indication of the level of panic Trump is experiencing. All we have to do is look at the number of diversions he has tried in the last month to know he's sweating.
