Trump’s obsession with me is beyond weird. He needs serious help.

Since he has no economic policies to tout, he’s resorting to regurgitating bigoted lies instead.

He continues to be a national embarrassment.
Trump: "Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is. With her little turban. I love her. She comes in, does nothing but bitch ... we ought to get her the hell out ... she's here illegally."

The crowd in Pennsylvania then starts chanting "send her back!"

It is unfair to focus on isolated incidents of violence by an individual and assume it represents a broader group, except that is entirely the framing used by the Trump administration about immigrants.

I want Democrats to refer to EVERY GOP Congressperson by their birth names…Rafael Edward Cruz, James Michael Johnson, Felix Barry Moore, Eric Alan Crawford….because why do you get to choose your name anymore? They are terrible, petty bullies.

Major Pete Hegseth, in 2016: "... that's why the military said it won't follow unlawful orders from their Commander in Chief. There’s a standard. There’s an ethos.

Me in 2025: "You can refuse illegal orders."

Watch for yourself.

Her parents owe their lives to the United States accepting them as asylum seekers fleeing religious persecution in Iraq in the 1980s. She wouldn't be here if we had not offered her family safe haven.

The hypocrisy is stunning.
Habba: There were individuals that were saying that this should be a safe harbor, a safe haven. Why? America is America because we protect our own.

I think that somewhere along the way something in Stephen Miller got fundamentally damaged. This is neither an excuse nor a mitigating factor; the dude is genuinely fucking evil and he and everything he stands for should be fought against and stopped. But he is something beyond mere sociopathy.
Since Stephen Miller is in the midst of another of his Aryans-only trantrums, we should note that his family are 20th century immigrants from the shtetl of Antopol (Антопаль) then in the Hrodna gubernia of Russia. Applying his immigration rules, they would all have perished in the Holocaust.
Stephen Miller Is an Immigration Hypocrite. I Know Because I’m His Uncle.
If my nephew’s ideas on immigration had been in force a century ago, our family would have been wiped out.

Few sandwiches I had this week

1st two are from one of my longtime favorite spots, Lee’s Hoagie House in Pasadena, CA.

2nd two are from another favorite that’s survived all over NELA, Dave’s Chillin n Grillin, currently at The Rose Bowl.

Descriptions in alt-text. All delicious. All heat.
