Are we just going to go to war with the whole world now...they should make an alliance and take us out.
BREAKING: The Trump administration is preparing plans for an invasion of Mexico with American boots on the ground, without any authorization from Congress. This news comes after recent reports that plans for strikes on Venezuela are being prepared.

Well here it comes...say good buy to healthcare....all the hospitals will go broke now too.
Open enrollment for ACA plans began yesterday in Idaho.
One couple got notice that their monthly premium next year would jump from $51 to $2,232 as subsidies expire.
25,000 Idahoans are expected to be priced out of coverage.
This is what's at stake in Trump's shutdown.

The Constitution did not foresee the position of presidential chief of staff, so it’s hard to see what legitimate constraints could prevent Stephen Miller from becoming an all-powerful dictator.

According to The Hill, a judge has ruled that the Biden administration went too far by indefinitely blocking new drilling off large portion of US coast.
Also, a judge just temporarily blocked sending Texas National Guardsmen to Oregon, but I suspect that will soon be overruled.

Please share with those people in your world (if any remain), who believe the regime's lies that undocumented migrants do receive any federal social safety net benefits.

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries.
He said this out loud.
