I come back from a break to see a wellness influencer who dropped out of her residency nominated as Surgeon General, a "real housewives" cast member as a board member at the holocaust museum (whose son was a convicted J6 insurrectionist), and another Fox DUI hire, Pirro.

A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...
![In an interview with Popular Information, his first with any media outlet, Hermosillo said DHS'.
's account was false.
According to Hermosillo, he was visiting his girlfriend's family in Tucson from his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Several hours before his arrest, Hermosillo was transported to a hospital in Tucson by ambulance after suffering from a seizure. He has a New Mexico state ID, but did not take it with him during the medical emergency.
After being released from the hospital following treatment, Hermosillo did not know how to return to where he was staying.
He approached the Border Patrol officer because he was looking for someone to help him. "I saw a car, and I askled] him for help," Hermosillo said. He told the officer that he was staying in Tucson.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:on5oeywiqx32fh2zau473wz6/bafkreie3gc6fndj7mtotijddm4eg264zgsqxpn4nbekb3xq5ubdmskvr6u@jpeg)
!["You"
re not from here. Do you have your
papers?" the officer said, according to Hermosillo. When the officer asked where he was from, Hermosillo said he told the officer,
"New Mexico." The officer then accused Hermosillo of lying. "Don't make me lout] like [I'm] stupid," the officer said. "I know you're from Mexico." After that, Hermosillo said, he was arrested.
Hermosillo said that he never told the officer that he was born in Mexico, was a citizen of Mexico, or entered the country illegally. And he would not have said those things because they are not true. He signed the transcript released by DHS because the officer ordered him to "sign everything." But Hermosillo did not read it, because he cannot read.
According to Hermosillo's girlfriend, Grace Hernandez, Hermosillo has learning disabilities and can only write his name.
Hermosillo said he did not graduate from high school and dropped out after the 10th grade.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:on5oeywiqx32fh2zau473wz6/bafkreiensu64iobo4ftuqeaighf2p5k745uzdnmhcecugsi4ec74dnqse4@jpeg)

This is what I think of every time someone tries to say republicans are the party of "fiscal responsibility." No, they're not. I don't know if they ever were, but if so it certainly wasn't in my lifetime. Coppertone Caligula wants to add 4.5 trillion this time.

Except China which gets an even higher tariff. I wonder if the penguins still have that 10% tariff... and the other uninhabited areas. I wonder how much he made buying up cheap stocks. I can't wait to see how they spin this & somehow blame it on Biden & Kamala 🤦🏼♀️

Fuck! This is beyond disturbing. Congress must act on the bill to stop the Manchurian Cantaloupe's stupid tariffs 🤬
During comments at a dinner last night, Trump mentioned that tariffs on pharmaceuticals, medications that Americans NEED, are coming in very shortly. There's some huge issues which will come from this, mostly, cutting many Americans off from access to their meds for years to come. 🧵 1/10 #healthcare

Trump told America he had a deal with far-right El Salvadoran dictator Nayib Bukele to temporary hold U.S. deportees for a fee.
Now we know that was a lie.
Trump told Bukele he'd _sell_ him bodies to _own_—to be housed in his massive prison (CECOT) until death.
America is back in the slave trade.
