Except that’s what everyone on the right was doing before we learned it was the Trump admin that granted him asylum - and most are still doing it. If only Republicans would blame the shooters more often instead of trying to use deranged acts by individuals for political gain.

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

This entire article points out that there is no plan. His own Treasury Secretary says he doesn’t know anything about it. So why does media keep running these kind of headlines? He keeps making these Truth Social posts and media keeps running stories as if it is something real.

While upset with Senate Dems continues, this is an important reminder that it is Donald Trump who decimated medicaid & ended the ACA subsidies and it is Donald Trump who will do whatever it takes to decimate, if not completely destroy, the ACA.

Do ICE officers have ‘federal immunity’?
Stephen Miller said ICE agents have federal immunity. Agents have broad protections when they’re conducting official duties. But they’re not immune from prosecution if they break state or federal law.

At least they FINALLY admitted why they refused to negotiate on the shutdown. First they lied and promised Dems they would “negotiate” this, but only AFTER they voted for the CR. But Dems were correct when they assessed that Republicans NEVER intended to extend these subsidies.

I’m interested in hearing from the MAGA pastors about Trump’s statement tonight that he wants to refuse to release emergency funds set aside to feed the poor despite a court order because the govt needs to “remain liquid” in case he needs that money to fight a war.
