The DJT administration fired 8 immigration judges in NYC today.
All the judges were dismissed from the immigration court’s offices at 26 Federal Plaza, a building that houses the NYC headquarters ICE and has become the epicenter of migrant arrests in the city.

Every year since 1988, the United States has recognized World AIDS Day — until now.
Why not? Maybe because the Trump administration doesn’t want to acknowledge that its foreign aid cuts led to nearly 150,000 deaths from AIDS, according to Boston University researchers.
Shameful.

It is true that no one has grasped this scope.
But there are ways to deal with it.
First, track the way that Kristi Noem is converting it to personal grift, like her propaganda campaign.
Next, illustrate how this is a funding shift, from things Americans like to body snatching they hate.

The news has entirely failed to grasp the unprecedented scope of the ICE and DHS budgets. Nothing like it in modern history. A galaxy of public/private surveillance and caging institutions for $100,000,000,000s unleashed on a public that will be forever changed. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

After losing a bet to Elton John, John Lennon makes what will become his final concert appearance on Thanksgiving day, Thursday, November 28, 1974, at Madison Square Garden. The two had worked together on John's 5th solo 👇

Willie Nelson is one of the most beloved & iconic musicians in the history of country music, but on November 28, 1964 when he made his debut on the Grand Ole Opry he was just another promising young newcomer.

Such classic gaslighting it's an instructive moment. The question is not whether generic is better or worse, it's that a list with more expensive brand names is not the same as a list with cheaper generics. Perverting that truth into an attack on those calling it out is Manipulation 101.
Hassett: "On one of the Sunday shows, the anchor criticized the fact Walmart said the Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper by about $10. Then he said, 'Oh yeah, but they substituted generic stuff,' as if having a generic something is a crime for ordinary folks! It shows how out of touch these people are."
