Donald, STFU, you obsessive, brain-addled old fool. There are many horrible things happening right now (shootings, a bad economy, murdering fishermen, kidnappings), and all you can think about is your sore-loser lies about winning an election five years ago. You're not well.

After our last post, MAGA voices rushed to claim that Trump had nothing to do with the traffic stop involving Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s son, where federal agents demanded proof of his citizenship. Let’s be clear about why this is not a coincidence.

The endgame here is getting the Supreme Court to declare that the entire civil service system is unconstitutional. Which is to say, this administration does not want us to be a modern, efficient, globally competitive nation-state.

They just don't want anyone traveling to the US for any reason at all
It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted
