OK, found it! This is the waste, fraud and abuse of the American tax dollar, right.

And when the next Dem President's signature policy is free healthcare for all legal residents?

One would think that "signature policies" should fall with in established laws. That's not what is happening with Trump's tariffs.

Good statement from the US conference of Catholic Bishops

I don’t know if I’d want my child’s killer being the one paying for an urn that is their final resting place.

This administration/DOJ will simply disregard the the congressional order & will not comply.

Gosh, the good thing here is that there’s already a framework to do just that, maybe they could call it The Affordable Care Act?

The sad part is that many of us thought it was true because of the craziness of this administration.

Brilliance is not an attribute of this administration.

Take the time to read this thread. Shame on Heritage and everyone who will not condemn their erasure of American service and sacrifice

At least they FINALLY admitted why they refused to negotiate on the shutdown. First they lied and promised Dems they would β€œnegotiate” this, but only AFTER they voted for the CR. But Dems were correct when they assessed that Republicans NEVER intended to extend these subsidies.

This year he made things more expensive, so that next year he can β€œwork on” bring down prices & the MAGA crowd will cheer.

Why is this really a controversy? Don’t we have bigger problems, like a criminal in the White House?

Another β€œLet them eat cake” moment. In the meantime, the WH has found the money to demolish the East Wing to build a ballroom.

The most swing state of the swing states, PA, just saw an effort to remove three Dems from the PA Supreme Court.
All three came through with 60 percent of the vote. That's how you do it: Vote.

Everyone involved in this case, including the Border Patrol agent, should be dying of embarrassment being involved in such a ridiculous prosecution.

At some point, closing US commercial airspace -- while ICE raids continue -- might prod some Americans to question our priorities.

A SSRS/CNN poll showing 61% people think Trump has gone too far using the power of the presidency and 57% think he's gone too far deporting immigrants.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

Instead of asking the Speaker of the House if he has a view on <critical separation-of-powers QOTD>, maybe reporters should start asking him if he reads any newspapers or otherwise informs himself on those matters to which we might think the Speaker of the House ought to be paying attention?
