What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

This will not end well. Requiring vaccines for children is not "slavery." Vaccines reduce the number of children buried in cemeteries. Look at headstones from the not distant past.

As an Episcopal priest, I vividly remember speaking at the funeral of a ten-year-old boy.

About this Florida vaccine story:
When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough.
We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated.
“Oh, they’d have died.”

Some of us remember how bad the air was before the Clean Air Act.
This was announced as 150 million people across the country were under heat alerts.
Fossil fuel interests spent nearly $100 million on Trump's re-election. Then the industry pumped $19 million into his inaugural fund.
They're cashing in at the expense of the rest of us.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work.
You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules.
Get your lies straight.

I don't care what side of the Israel-Palestine conflict your sympathies lie on, snatching up people with a valid student visa for the crime of writing an OpEd is naked fascism and if you don't oppose this you are a threat to this country's most basic values
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.
