We are a web of generations united for inclusive policies, compassionate spending, radical kindness, and sweeping, courageous love. We are fearless resisters, uncompromising in our quest for a society that is just and fair society for all.
This reporter has visited Dilley several times and seen many children go from bright-eyed to listless. Dilley now houses families that had established lives in the US and were arrested in ICE sweeps, and the kids with once-vibrant lives suffer.
Seems to me these sorts of incidences are increasing. Maybe it is fun for some in the administration - like young Pete, there - to play at war and have fun, but the average person finds the disruption anything but.
This would be OK, as long as both men see a deal as a way to get to "yes" for both parties. Trump's 'winner-take-all' approach falls flat when the other party sees their homeland at stake.
It is the connection. Since we have not investe4d enough in renewable energy, we rely on good old gas to transport our goods to market. That is also the energy that keeps the lights on, heats our factories, and so on.
Policy shouldn't be up to one man.
This not just a conflict of interest. It is corruption, plain and simple. This is the most corrupt administration in American history, by far.
It does not matter the nation that tries to invade or affect change upon another's shores. King George III learned this during the American Revolutionary War.
Those who oppose the new army on shore call themselves 'patriots', hide, and strike.
Isabella Stewart Gardner, of the Boston Museum fame, once wore a baseball cap with her fancy ball dress to an evening with the Boston Symphony. It was a Red Sox cap and it scandalized society.
They recovered, and so did she.
Wondering how this latest war could affect the world at large? This explainer helps.
Go ahead and get loud and be proud, if you disapprove of this latest war. Keep trying to win hearts and minds in your own neighborhood, because it is the only way Congress will take action.
With partisan infighting, it is up to POTUS to get things done.
Sen. Rand Paul, a Republican libertarian from Kentucky, “This is a Congress without ambition. This is a Congress without really a belief structure in defending legislative prerogative.”
Why does Congress keep expanding executive power at the expense of the legislative branch? House Speaker Mike Johnson said it best: “I have no intention of getting in the way of President Trump and his administration."
Dear Congress; please wake up. Failure to do so could cost you your jobs and us the lives of our young men and women.
The Trump administration has consistently boasted that it has slashed the number of individuals illegally entering the country to record-low levels, so why do they expect to need more officers?
Is this volunteering or are staff being voluntold to sign up for ICE and Border Patrol?
Does Hegseth understand that employees hired foe a specific job description and civilian status work under different rules than those who sign up for the military?
The administration promises ICE is targeting murderers, rapists and gangsters.
Data shows that less than 2% of ICE arrests over the past year had homicide or sexual assault charges/convictions.
Cost to taxpayers is roughly $7,500–$9,000 per person.
ICE says these new detention warehouses are for the “worst of the worst.”
We also know only less than 14% of people ICE detained last year are violent criminals.
Because $$$ seems to be the data point that gets average Americans to care, let’s talk about the economics of concentration camps.
The incompetence is staggering. We cannot get them to drop their face masks because they prefer anonymity.
This young fella thought they would drive around in vehicles emblazoned with the agency's name, logo and motto.
Trump gives conflicting answers for how long he expects war to last, maybe because:
- Without a goal, he doesn't know if he reached it.
- He didn't want to say so that he could move the goalpost if unsuccessful.
- He doesn't have the staff who can perform.
So we just need more time, is that it? Time in Iran to do what, exactly? Because they implemented regime change, one of the stated reasons for why we were there in the first place.
Looks like he didn't stick to a clear goal so he could move the goalpost.
Hegseth and Rubio should be forced to testify to Congress on ‘unnecessary war’. Polls show majorities of Americans do not support the war in Iran and Republicans should not be given opportunity to ignore that.
We want Universal Healthcare, not war.
This is how it is done. Up until now, Democrats looked hapless and helpless.
I thought these were smart bombs, and I thought they could be dropped with accuracy. Was the DOD misleading us with the name "smart bomb?" Does our military need more training? Are the bombs meant to be used differently?
Why are schools the collateral?
Some of these new ICE warehouses will be roughly the same capacity as Las Vegas resorts. That's a lot of trespassers to jail on the public dime when they could pay a fine and go back to their jobs while working their way through asylum.
As the Iran disaster escalates, Starmer should treat the US president as someone whose actions threaten the lawful, democratic way of life everywhere.
As should we all. Looking at you Congress-who-refuses to-do-your-job-of-oversight.
Is it a requirement for Republicans running for Congress to be absolutely hypocritical?
I bet if Trump asked anybody before going to war with Iran, SOMEBODY might have warned him of how it could disrupt things for some of our allies.
I am guessing Congress knows but lacks courage.
Completely lacking in courage.
It's starting to make a little more sense now. He knew all along he was going to go to war. He must have been promising he would not just to gain votes.
Republicans got played and we all got war.
I am starting to get the idea that most of trump's decisions are illegal, lol. I. for one, am not surprised. The felon faced no consequences for any of his actions so of course he feels entitled.
So we are at war with Iran because Trump had a feeling. I have a feeling he was looking for every and any way to distract from the Epstein Files and now we are all paying the price. Death and destruction all across the Middle east with soaring prices and a crashing economy back here in America.
