What the Trump Admin is doing is a déjà vu of what happened under former sheriff, Joe Arpaio, in Maricopa County, AZ. He lost in federal court but Trump's getting away with his (Stephen Miller's) hatred of immigrants & anyone here legally or already naturalized.

“This is what happens when you fill a government with all of the most unqualified people ever to hold their roles.”
One thing that most people are missing in the group text scandal: The Trump officials don’t appear clear on what *exactly* Trump approved, which is a huge problem in using military force. Stephen Miller says “as I heard it … green light.” 😱😬 www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/six-short-...

Watching Meet the Press yesterday, this piece with Senator Lankford at 4:10 caught my attention regarding the budget. He said "no one has seen this big beautiful bill as it stands because it's just the budget framework." What does this actually mean?

Throughout his pontificate, Pope Francis has ended every address with an ask: “Please, do not forget to pray for me, not against me. Sometimes he adds: “This job isn’t easy.” Other times he says: “If you’re not the praying type then send good vibes.” Today, we honor his requests. 🙏
