Extremists: immigrants need to come here the *right* way!

Trump: actively dismantles every pathway to legal immigration

BREAKING NYT:

The Trump admin just fired eight immigration judges in New York City.

All the judges were dismissed from the immigration offices at 26 Federal Plaza — a building that houses the NYC headquarters of ICE and has become the epicenter of migrant arrests in the city.

In fairness to Jeffries, the headline makes it seem worse. He said specifically "Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor of the House of Representatives, and we know that's the case." He's not wrong.

I think it’s much more likely that Repubs get Trump to dump Hegseth than for Dem-led impeachment* to remove him.

*I think there’s a non-zero chance Repubs could eventually call for it.

Blue states have repeatedly tried to rein in crisis pregnancy centers.

But as faith-based organizations, pregnancy centers have a powerful shield: the First Amendment.
This confusing Supreme Court case could reshape oversight of crisis pregnancy centers

Trump is trying to erase World AIDS Day, and therefore all who live with, died from, or lost someone to AIDS.

We should not let him.

Trump keeps telling his MAGA supporters that he’s NOT doing this for himself.

$Billions in his pockets and tons of parties ($1 million per person to attend) say otherwise.

He’s been a corrupt lying bully and businessman his entire life.
