The rich and powerful don’t get their wages garnished when they default on a loan. They declare bankruptcy and end up paying pennies on the dollar, if anything. Like Trump did many, many times.

Ok how much did the military lose. The USPS is not a business
The USPS faces a tight squeeze. With fewer people using the mail, it’s lost more and more money: $9 billion in the 12 months ending in September alone.

The Trump administration knows this very well but doesn’t care, because it chose to side with Russia and China rather than Europe.

She chose to stand in front of these prisoners because she (or someone involved in the production of the propaganda video she was shooting) thought they looked more dangerous than the non-criminals DHS sent to CECOT.
It’s all a cruel, grotesque show
But real people suffer

From 60 Minutes bootleg video on CECOT (prison in El Salvador) these men behind Noem weren’t “terrorists” removed from our country as she said. The men pictured are Salvadoran gang members who were not in the U.S.
3% of Venezuelans sent there were criminals. Almost all were sexually assaulted.

1. Bovino's existence is the result of chain migration, which MAGA wants to ban
2. His family arrived legally under an immigration law MAGA wants to repeal
3. His father killed a woman while driving drunk, a crime for which MAGA aims to deport immigrants
And much more. Read it.

What's next, America, a disinformation campaign promoting a return to open sewers?
The thing about measles is that it’s the only known virus that triggers immune amnesia - it causes your immune system to forget everything it has previously learned. Meaning you essentially reset to zero and are now at risk of basically everything.
It can take 2-3 years to get immunities back.
