The DoD now has more money than it knows what to do with.
Imagine if we spent that money on healthcare or housing instead.

This is appalling. This woman had done absolutely nothing wrong, and was detained while in the process of LEAVING the US.
If you have friends or family planning to travel to the US, warn them not to.
Not only junk science, but also ethical violations.

Not actually inconsistent. If you treat 14 year olds as adults, they can be prosecuted as adults, and grant sexual consent as adults. To be entirely consistent, you’d have to allow them to drive, drink, enlist, and vote as adults too. ( I’m not advocating for any of these.)

Now the agency wants to spend $38B to turn warehouses across the country into detention camps.
Remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies running these camps.
The poll’s not wrong, the question was; he’s actually trying to cover up his own crimes.

I may not agree with those actions, but given they had congressional support, they were, by definition, lawful.

It’s Trump’s first (of likely many) major attempt to rig the election in his favor. It takes away the right to vote for millions and allows your voting records to be erased. We cannot let it pass the Senate.
Compared to what options were available before that, it IS great. And she had attempted (unsuccessfully) to implement a universal health insurance program, so she was well-situated to comment.
