Oh so is this what he would say if it was 2 of his family members? You know it was just 2.
See MAGA - he doesn’t care about the sanctity of life that you all like to ride high on. What say you?

I’m sure all the federal law ie: FBI etc are already fully engaged with the state and local authorities working on this horrific happening. But of course #Trump always wants the spotlight β€œI’m authorizing…”.

The year the media oligarchs bowed to Trump We warned last year that Donald Trump’s second term as president would turbo-charge the political right’s burgeoning media-intimidation complex. Republican officials and right-wing billionaires were a...

The underlying dynamic is that for Jeff Bezos and the other media oligarchs, their news business is a tiny fraction of their overall business holdings and they are willing to sacrifice it to appease Trump. They resisted in term one; this time, they capitulated. www.mediamatters.org/cbs/year-med...

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Wait, I have a question Mr POTUS πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ. If you are such an economic brainiac can you explain about all those bankruptcies? Just call me curious. Seems like your skill at handling your own business economics is a slight bit questionable.

If you can't understand how a candidate can be winning on election night but falling behind as they continue to count ballots in the days that follow, maybe you should enroll

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

How bad is it when your headliner is "Kid Rock"?

Florida Republicans advance bill to weaken vaccine protections for children But effort fell short of state surgeon general’s promise to end Florida’s immunization mandates altogether

As the bill advances it keeps early vaccines in play. Have to keep a watch on this.

It keeps mandates in place for shots for measles, mumps and rubella, frequently combined into a single MMR vaccine; diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (DTaP); and polio.

Yeah, Bill should have thought long and hard on this back when he had the opportunity to stop this. Just think, he wouldn't even be having this conversation.
In #Florida we are now about to do ZERO required vaccines. Kids getting measles at "the happiest place" won't work out well for tourism.

Feeling a bit ignorant, hope someone here can enlighten me. DHS is buying (and attempting to buy) huge warehouses to become camps holding 1000's.
When someone is in 1 of these, what happens as far as actually being put on a plane to some awful place? Is there some timeline or legal process going on

Palantir Q4 earnings beat Wall Street estimates on strong sales to US businesses Palantir reported earnings after the bell Monday.

Palantir doesn’t sell data or spy itself. It sells software to those who do: intelligence agencies, military contractors, immigration enforcement and corporate surveillance. Record earnings now, with higher guidance ahead. Profits built on our eroding freedoms. Know thy enemy.
