You could write this. Or you could write: “That notion, which has been the rule in nearly every country in the Western Hemisphere for over a century, is grounded in the language of the 14th Amendment.”

All how you choose to frame it.

“No one from my center has ever briefed him on any of those topics…He’s getting his information from somewhere”

Remembering today when pro-GOP media erupted with outrage over Kamala Harris' warning that Trump had plans to militarize the national guard and deploy them on the streets of US cities. Indeed, he had such plans. And now he's implementing them.

"He's doing the right thing because lots of these people don't deserve to be here," Arpineh told the BBC over the phone from the Adelanto immigrant detention centre in California's Mojave Desert.

"I will support him until the day I die. He's making America great again."

Poor white MAGA voters will support cuts to Medicaid in order to save on “waste, fraud and abuse” the way many Latino voters supported Trump because he was only going to deport criminals.

This guy is like one of 4 Americans who actually went and got their REAL ID and immediately they said it was a fake.

Just so everyone knows when they toss your ass in a truck it won't matter what passport or identification you have they'll throw it in the street and you're gone

Dr. Josephine Baker fought for milk testing in lower Manhattan over a century ago, where babies were 7 times more likely to die than WWI US soldiers in the trenches. Milk was often adulterated with chalk and germ-y water. Today the FDA stopped testing milk due to lack of staff. Shame on you, Trump.

Democrats made rural broadband happen and Republicans pushed policies that accelerated school closures.

But the author shrugs and asserts both sides are equally to blame.
