An insane political move. One of the recurring complaints about immigration in the U.S. is that those seeking asylum jump the line. This is line-jumping — but for rich people, not those in need.

Despite Trump's protestations to the contrary, inflation has remained stubborn throughout in his second term, and is at about 3% on an annualized basis – right where it was when he took over. And the perception might be even worse. cnn.it/4o6uKNG

From new @kff.org / @nytimes.com survey of immigrants: More than half (53%) of immigrants say they are not confident they or a family member would receive fair treatment by the U.S. legal system if they were to be arrested or detained on immigration-related charges. bit.ly/4igPfWP

In his ruling, Judge Fitzpatrick also pointed out that Halligan told grand jurors that they did not have to rely solely “on the record before them” to return an indictment against Mr. Comey, but “could be assured the government had more evidence that would be presented at trial.” nyti.ms/4raxm00

“The government’s paying absolutely nothing and the military is very much involved”

If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military. The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history. Square that circle then tell me who really hates our military.
