Because we can’t trust anything in the media anymore.
That’s why they were so hell bent on passing the bill ASAP. Because ICE/DHS had blown through their budget and were running on fumes. I suspect that was part of the leverage used against GOP lawmakers - that if they didn’t pass the Murder Bill, they’d be responsible for DHS shutting down because of overspending, and the administration would manufacture horrible stories of immigrants raping and murdering because Senator/Representative [redacted] didn’t pass the bill.
Because nothing says America like…
“Every one of our national park battlefields and historic sites are going to have special events in honor of America 250,” Trump said at the “America 250” event at the Iowa State Fairgrounds on the eve of the Fourth of July, adding: “We’re going to have a UFC fight – think of this – on the grounds of the White House.”
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the plans, adding that the president is “dead serious.”
He was on full whackadoodle in Iowa yrsterday.
“We’re going to have B-2s and F-22s and F-35s flying right over the White House,” Trump told reporters before flying to Iowa. “We’ll be signing with those beautiful planes flying right over our heads.”
And farmers and hotels and I’m guessing Mar A Lago gonna be able to keep their immigrants.
Trump outlined how Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was developing legislation to effectively allow farmers to vouch for their workers to allow them to stay.
Because the secretary of defense is the best choice for conservation efforts. And voluntary conservation should work out well.
Trump signed an executive order on the flight to Iowa creating a Make America Beautiful Again Commission to overcome what he called “years of mismanagement, regulatory overreach and neglect of routine maintenance" at the National Park Service and the Forest Service.
The commission is to include Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, the heads of the Environmental Protection Agency and Office of Management and Budget and others.
Trump seeks to expand access to public lands and recover fish and wildlife populations through voluntary conservation efforts.

He was a busy boy yesterday.
PUTTING AMERICANS FIRST: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order investing in our national treasures by increasing fees for foreign tourists visiting our national parks to improve services, access, and affordability for Americans.
Increasing fees for foreign visitors will also ensure fairness. American citizens fund national parks and public lands with their tax dollars, yet they are currently charged the same rate as foreign visitors who do not pay taxes, meaning that American citizens pay more to see their own national treasures than foreign visitors do. President Trump is ending this unfair situation and putting Americans first.
I’ve never seen someone asked for their passport while entering a national park. Good luck collecting that.
I have a horrible feeling that you are shortly going to become very used to seeing “Papers, please” demanded just about everywhere.
Or, “Ausweis bitte”, if you will.
They installed signs last night.
Well, they’d certainly get a rise out of him, but would it lead to more mushroom shaped things (like clouds)? I guess he’d have a hard choice to make now he has no soft power. Maybe we’d find out if a golden dome protects against more than a golden shower?
(Sorry, not sorry.)
Many people tend not to realise it until they are personally divided.
Paraphrasing:
"First they came for the immigrants and I was happy…
…
…
…
Then they came for me.
Too many will be happy until they realise they are the one being come for and are already in cuffs, or indentured labour, or on the streets begging for scraps.
(Probably with fizzy drinks for @RAvery’s post about undesirables.)
And in that video @mindysan posted it was noted that ICE is now the third biggest funded military outfit on the planet, after the US military and the Chinese military. More money than the Russian military!
based on shared family values
I don’t think he knows how to count he just disregards the 212 votes against. It wasn’t some historic win, it was a narrow win.
Starmer creeps on his daughter too?
they’ll have to drag me out of the classroom if they want me to teach that drivel instead of actual history.
