I thought they have been saying that we should not be giving taxpayer paid benefits to immigrants.

White South Africans could get $4,500 in aid if they come to U.S. as refugees
The assistance, which helps pay for basic needs such as housing and food, would nearly double under a new policy.

@arimelber.bsky.social you asked about books worth reading. There are so many but I would recommend The Guns of August and anything by John Grisholm including The Pelican Brief, A Time to Kill,and The Client. Reading The Last Juror. For action books I recommend Jzck Reacher books by Lee Childs.

TAPPER: You said this was 'strongest job market in your lifetime.' By what metric?
HASSETT: If you look at overall economy, things are booming
T: 2 million jobs were created in the last 18 months of Biden's term. Are you really arguing your numbers are better?
H: We'll have to follow up by email

I think Aaron's right here – Trump has no idea how vaccines are administered or how they work. It's the same reason he thinks you need an ID to buy groceries: no personal experience. He's always been too busy cheating at golf, sexually assaulting women and running financial scams.
I'm not convinced Trump knows what a vaccine is or how they are administered. What's he talking about?
"They give these massive- you ever look? It looks like a Coca-Cola bottle. They're pumping this massive amount of fluid into a child's body"
(dear reader, syringes look nothing like Coke bottles)

For anyone who thinks increasing oil & gas production is the path to energy independence, you're dead wrong. While we continue to rely on fossil fuels, we're held hostage to global pricing. The real path to energy security is local production of renewables and grid-scale storage. #EnergyTransition

A young man complies, yet an ICE agent slams his head into a wall. Another holds a Taser sideways like a gangster. This is not professional law enforcement.

Women in ICE detention underwent invasive medical procedures without informed consent. Senator Jon Ossoff’s bipartisan investigation called the findings “nightmarish & disgraceful”

I have warned that Trump never accepts defeat. Instead he escalates the attacks. This is his latest escalation. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
In sweeping attack on elections, Trump fires leadership of key federal voting assistance commission
The dismissals leave the elections assistance agency without leadership just months before the upcoming 2026 midterms.

This week, Trump called Zelenskyy “President Putin,” said that the “Islamic Republican of Japan” shot 111 missiles at on of our aircraft carries, and called the Obama JCPOA the “Obom JCPOC.” Is it time for Jake Tapper to write a book about this?
