Just an observation, when the smart people are almost, to a person, either reprehensible, self-serving oligarchs, or socialists who want healthcare, food, water, and shelter being acknowledged human rights, some people have *way* too much difficulty understanding the choice...

THIS IS BULLSHIT‼️
Undocumented immigrants already get almost no federal “tax benefits.” Fox makes it sound like there’s a giant welfare pipeline. Not true.
They’re barred from Social Security, Medicare, SNAP, unemployment, and most federal programs, yet they still pay billions into the system.

Wow! The executive director of the ThriveWell Cancer Foundation warns: “People are not going to survive a totally survivable diagnosis because of the lack of insurance.” Congress and the president need to extend the ACA subsidies and fix healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...
Americans are buckling under medical bills. It could get worse.
Charities that help people pay for care say demand is way up. That’s before scheduled Medicaid and Obamacare cuts take effect.

I know our inclination is to buy this weekend from companies touting lower prices (Amazon, Target & Walmart).
Resist the urge. The only way to force greedy corps to lower prices to acceptable levels, paying living wages, & end discriminatory practices is to withhold your money.

His troop deployments are a false flag – meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns.

Quite literally a nothing in a number of ways.
First, a social media post is not an EO, which is just a glorified memo.
Second, even an EO cannot violate established law.
Finally, this would invalidate a huge number of his own EOs, pardons, and a few laws.
A nothing stunt.
