Is “full force” an official term in any way? I’m thinking use of it is another example of DJTs innate slyness to use words that can ultimately be denied. “Lethal?” I never said lethal! I said ‘full!’ Hegseth misinterpreted me!”

I just downsized into a condo. It has a vaulted ceiling and a two story high wall (which I knew I was making a quilt for as soon as I first saw it!) told me decorator my plan. Her response? “You’re a quilter? Do you do alterations?” 🤣🤣🤣

🧵 Green card holder Paramjit Singh has lived in the U.S. for more than 30 years, built a business in Fort Wayne, raised a family, and followed the law. Yet ICE and DHS are caging him like a criminal over a 25-year-old infraction: using a payphone without inserting 35 cents.
