a united Democratic response to the craziness: attack trump as a patsy being played by musk, putin, vought, among others. He hates to be seen as weak, he hates to be laughed at. this may so frustrate him that he ends his bromance with musk. It is so important to get Democrats on the same page.

Jeffries sends a letter to Democrats saying "The decision to attend the Joint Session is a personal one and we understand that members will come to different conclusions. However, it is important to have a strong, determined and dignified Democratic presence in the chamber."

At best Trump is going to treat any Dems present as stage props whom he can insult; at worst he's going to call them enemies of the people whose opposition to his approach is or ought to be illegal. Being called a traitor on national TV isn't going to make you look determined or dignified.

So Trump never really had an issue with criminals entering the country; he just wanted to skim a little off the top when they did. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Trump: "We're gonna be selling a gold card. You have a green card, this is a gold card. We're gonna put a price on that card of about $5 million and that's going to give you green card privileges, plus. It's gonna be a route to citizenship, and wealthy people will be coming into our country."
