This headline is ridiculous. The US is currently cracking down on the people who harvest US tomatoes and sending them to a swamp concentration camp with no representation and due process, and publicly hoping people get eaten by alligators.

Did you know? A large part of the Education Department’s job is enforcing regulations and providing funding and services that states cannot or refuse to. — Anyone claiming states will do what the Department of Education does is blatantly lying to your face.

Every time after SCOTUS does something outrageous I try to think of something politically we can do to counter what they did. Today, I'm mindful that the Catholic Church is increasingly an important moral voice criticizing Trump's deportation regime.

#ICYMI, #DementiaDon is threatening to "revoke the citizenship of Rosie O'Donnell". 🤦‍♂️

1) What country would she be "returned" to?

2) Except for criticizing him recently, apparently this thin-skinned #WATB #Snowflake is STILL obsessing over the fact she criticized him during his FIRST term nearly a decade ago (b/c as I often point out, people with #Dementia live in a time warp where they think things that happened DECADES ago happened yesterday.) #DisasterPresidency

I'm quite enjoying watching #MAGA tear itself apart over The #Epstein Files (or claimed lack-thereof.)

On #FnS, they started with a discussion over a recent report on "the fallout over the Butler assassination attempt [on T****]", but it quickly shifted to the "Nothing to see here" announcement from #BlondieBondi regarding The Epstein Files.

DESPITE the conversation quickly veering into the wall, for the next several minutes, they continued to show images from the Butler rally.

#PuppyKillerNoem is on #MtP defending her response to the #Kerrville Flood [72 hours later], saying over & over again that resources "were deployed AS SOON AS THEY WERE REQUESTED within hours."

#FEMA shouldn't be waiting for a *request* for help before it's sent. #HeckOfAJobKristi 🤬

I CAN'T STAND IT ANYMORE!

I had to switch off #MeetTheRepublicans as host #KristenWelker let #PuppyKillerNoem simply spew lie after lie after lie without any push back.

#Noem claimed #ICE is only going after "the worst of the worst" (while they are arresting Cleaning Ladies, Farm Workers and people showing up for their #Immigration Hearings), and lying about the conditions at #AlligatorAuschwitz (tents in #Florida in mid-hurricane season.)

TV OFF (I'll resume with #ThisWeek in an hour.)

"Donald T**** started this fire." He "promised transparency" and the release of everything from The #JFK Investigation to #TheEpsteinFiles, and now his own supporters are accusing him of being part of a #DeepState #Coverup.

@MugsysRapSheet The guy who *might* have had a billion dollars at the time of his first election is more successful than the handful multibillionaires whose financial backing he begged for?

What's the definition of success exactly? And maybe a definition of "businessman" would help too?

@gooba42
I mean, just how insane is it for #Hasset... who is well aware of megabillionaires like Musk, Bezos & Zuckerberg... trying to claim #MafiaDon might actually have been "THE most successful businessman of the 20th century"? #GMAFB #Gaslighting #TooStupidForPolitics
