All this "means testing" and "rooting out fraud" is just thinly veiled cover for finding increasingly absurd ways to deny people aid. Surveillance systems suck up money and resources that *should* go to recipients. We're led to believe poor people lose their privacy rights and liberty to save a buck

As the article points out, the entire supposed point of REAL ID was that it would prove you were who you said you were, and that you were a citizen or legal immigrant. It's invasive, requires A LOT of documentation & admin burden on both people & states, and is apparently... worthless to DHS.

Very surprising that the president who forced himself on women and girls without facing any consequences thinks he can force himself on countries without facing any consequences.

An abuser's *actions* are very important to pay attention to. His words are more or less meaningless inasmuch as he has no relationship with truth or reality ... whatever he says is merely whatever he says and it's probably just some effort to manipulate ...

there is no constituency that needs you to fall all over yourself to call Maduro illegitimate before you dare criticize Trump. Voters have been down this road before. No one thought Saddam Hussein was a nice guy. Criticism of Maduro at this stage correctly reads as a defense of Trump to most people.

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

You could make this argument for bombing and regime change in the US. āDonald Trump was ineligible for the presidency in 2024 under the 14th Amendment, and therefore the United States must be bombed to restore democracy.ā Somehow I donāt think the pundit class would be so credulous in that case.

Most people will focus on the insider trading element. What's more concerning is how this could've been a tip-off of pending military action. Like Signalgate, except anyone can see it in real time.
