I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Insanity: The deportation flights Trump used military jets for—that Mexico refused to accept—cost the U.S. up to $852,000 per flight to attempt to deport just 80 migrants at a time.

To compare, flights directly chartered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement cost just $8,577.

The incoming Trump Administration is stacked with billionaires. His cabinet’s net worth is greater than the GDP of 169 different countries.

Their top priority is a tax cut and they plan to pay for it by gutting Medicare, Medicaid, and privatizing Social Security.

Let that sink in for a minute…
