Stephen Miller’s ancestors were Jewish refugees from the pogroms in czarist Russia. They came to the U.S. in the early twentieth century, even as racists said this same stuff about them.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

Okay, the crowd going nuts like someone just scored a touchdown at the Super Bowl all *through* the KDH performance is a hell of a thing to see hear/see:

Scott Bessant says beef prices are high—not because Trump killed our beef trade with tariffs, not because Trump gave Argentina $40B, not because China is now buying Argentinian beef instead of American beef—but because migrants are illegally crossing the border & bringing their cows with them.😑

Also the White House: There's plenty of inflation, but we're blaming the president who left office nearly a year ago.

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.

Planes, Trains, or Automobiles? I flew IN to #Chicago Friday morning ahead of the first flight cancellations.
Now taking the TRAIN to #LNK from #TQIP in #Chicago. A prescient choice booked on Thursday.
Bonus: hanging out by the “Untouchables” shootout staircase at Union Station.

So finally the Trump/GOP “concepts of a plan” for ACA “repeal & replace” is revealed: Eliminate health insurance entirely.
Trump: "I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE."
