WHAT A F@CKING WASTE OF TAX PAYER MONEY!!! Theyre actually going after Obama (officials)? And haven't we been down the Clinton rabbit hole already?
I will ask again, when are articles of impeachment going to happen? Not only Trump, but also SCOTUS.

This is a dumb fucking article by a dumb fucking writer in a dumb fucking lamestream paper. It does little to explicate why the eight Dem turncoats "had" to do what they did except for "they didn't have any other choice" and absolving the GOP from any blame or responsibility. Lame, lame, lame.

1/ As much as I still think it was a mistake to back down for a liar’s promise of a vote doomed to fail regardless, let’s not ignore that this admin moved repeatedly to hurt the most vulnerable people in the country to get their way.

Immigrant detention firm seeks immunity in case before Supreme Court

Slavery. They’re taking about slavery.

wapo.st/4nXZlNK
One of the largest private companies profiting from President Donald Trump’s rapid expansion of immigrant detention centers says it should be immune from a legal challenge to its $1-a-day detainee work program because it was acting on behalf of the federal government.
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments Monday in the case, in which a plaintiff representing a class of more than 30,000 former detainees of a Colorado Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center says they were coerced into participating in the “voluntary” work program at unfairly low wages. The government is protected from some lawsuits through a concept known as “sovereign immunity,” and some government contractors have attempted to claim that this immunity applies to them as well.
Geo Group, which derived more than half of its $2.4 billion annual revenue last year from federal contracts, is seeking to reverse lower-court rulings that denied its ability to benefit from the government’s immunity from lawsuits. A district court ruled in 2022 that Geo wasn’t legally shielded, partly because the government never instructed it how much to pay detainees for work.

Senate Democrats ended the shutdown & now their honorable colleagues – suspected collaborators in a coup attempt – can get around qualified immunity to bilk taxpayers for $500k a pop.

Outrageous doesn't begin to describe the extent of this failure.

“Inside the West Wing, Trump’s aides greeted the end of the shutdown as evidence that the White House’s take-no-prisoners approach to the crisis worked: Sure, it took longer than expected, but Democrats were always going to cave.”
