IF I MAY BE SERIOUS: if Trump really wanted to reduce immigration, he’d try reducing wars and climate change—both of which increase migration and refugees. As you were.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Hey @MarshaBlackburn — if people with drugs thousands of miles away not even coming here are “terrorists” who can be bombed without due process, what does that say about Big Pharma companies you helped shield from accountability as their opioid crisis killed scores of Americans?

Trump's Jan 6 pardons were so sweeping and vague that DOJ now claims they decide who they cover.
There’s no modern precedent — and maybe no historical precedent, either — for a president to delegate his pardon power to subordinates on a pardon this vaguely worded.

The same man who was immunized from his crimes by the US Supreme Court would now be further abusing his power to declare himself the biggest victim of injustice in American history.
It’s just a brazen, stubby, vulgar middle finger at the rule of law.

cool that the official position of the administration appears to be that black people don’t really count as americans
"The Donald Trump administration has changed which holidays qualify for free entrance to national parks, removing two holidays celebrating Black people and adding the president’s birthday."
National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people
Free entrance days at national parks no longer include MLK Day and Juneteenth.
