There’s a reason I cancelled all US trips for the next 3 years.

My 73-year-old stepmom went to Florida in August—and was interrogated for nearly an hour by immigration officers demanding her social media accounts.

She doesn’t even use social media & will probably never vist the US again!

The Trump administration has cancelled the visas of at least six people for public comments made about the murder of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk.

In a post on right wing site X, the State Department said: "The United States has no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans."

US revokes visas over comments made about Charlie Kirk's death

The State Department shared screenshots of posts it said were examples of foreign visa holders welcoming Kirk's death.

We can’t pay air traffic controllers during the shutdown, making us less safe, but we can send $40 billion to bail out Argentina.

Make it make sense.

Los Angeles has just declared a state of emergency.

Not because of wildfires. Not because of riots. But because of an invasion by federal government troops.

We can see where this is going.

There's literally no reason for Congress to exist if any random freak in the presidential orbit can nullify laws and seize federal funds. All of this is plainly illegal, but Mike Johnson leads the most corrupt Congress in US history (and by a wide margin.)

NEW @motherjones.com: Nobody in that GOP group chat praising Hitler or making racist comments was a “kid,” as JD Vance claimed today

I tracked down their ages. (Weirdly, it seems nobody else did.)

Eight of the 11 in the group chat range from 24 to 35. Ages of others are unclear.

But… no “kids”!
