BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges. This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two. Every day, we inch closer to fascism.

Hey GOP: You are killing the economy with your policies you dumba**es. Who do you think is going to pay your rent and buy your goods after you wreck the economy? The Middle Class literally supports you and your yachting lifestyle and you are crushing us. Wake TF up.

Yeah “surprising,” as a 2008 law requires unaccompanied kids from countries other than Canada/Mexico to be "placed in the least restrictive setting that is in the best interest of the child." A 3AM plane to Guatemala—ignoring potential harm upon arrival—is not that. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...
