Trump and Elon's whole march and baiting of government workers will leave illness and a mess that will take years or decades to mend. Nobody should have to go through this.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.
