Imagine escaping the literal Nazis, making it to America, living three quarters of a century there making your life, and then this:
79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.
He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.

Has there been any reporting on the Supreme Court’s decision on SNAP? I understood KBJ’s decision required a decision from them by 8am Tuesday. Ugh.

New pardons for Trump’s allies involved with his 2020 attempted coup. I’ve read lawyers explaining he doesn’t hold the power for state charges. Just a power grab? Will they be honored in court anyway? Will we have to wait until they are used? It never stops!

Seriously, for their own good, Dems who voted for this need to not be saying “we did a good thing, this is why.”
The line needs to be “we fought like hell to get healthcare back, but Donald Trump was willing to burn the country to the ground.”

I truly don’t know how you look at the past week and THEN decide THIS is an appropriate — let alone the right — response.
Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Trump has accused boat crews of being narco-terrorists. The truth, AP found, is more nuanced

Trump wants health insurance premiums to spike right after he allowed medical debt to adversely affect people’s credit ratings, while rolling out 50 year mortgages.
