Let’s remember that she is not the first head of Homeland security. The government already had the means to move the previous heads around the country without notable difficulty. This is pure grift.

Germany sent us their draft dodgers. Otherwise, there would be no Trumps in America.

It's a great idea! Trump can give Putin back Alaska in exchange for the occupied territory in Ukraine. After all, Alaska used to be part of Russia. Makes as much historical sense as Russia claiming Ukraine or the existence of Israel based on ancient history.

What force is this? Is this really Illinois State Police? If so, Pritzker has some 'splainen to do.

If Trump can use tariffs to pay the military, he can use tariffs to pay these people

Not sure I completely agree. If she said they had to be there in person, the government will claim that the critical person is stuck in Antarctica for six months. By allowing video, they can’t pull that stuff.

It is really embarrassing. All of these universities have history department. They should not have needed to watch Columbia to know what happens when you make concessions to fascists.

Don’t fall for it. Trump is bailing out Bessett’s billionaire friends who invested in Argentina. He is not bailing out Argentina.

It is reasonable to assume that ICE will be at many of these rallies and targeting people of color. It is reasonable for these people to stay safe. We got this!

Repeat after me. Trump is not bailing out Argentina. Trump is bailing out Besset’s billionaire friends. Argentina just happens to be their bad investment that he has covering.

I knew Mehmet before he went to the dark side. It is shocking and depressing. I almost wonder whether some of those supplements he was pushing, had toxic contaminants that affected his brain.

Wait, I thought the Republicans didn’t like it when people did not use the name given at birth.
