Really loved what McKay Coppins had to say on MSNOW that the decisions our elected officials make flow from the quality of their character.

Wondering if DT’s effort to help the US team win only served to energize the Belgian team even more.

[Lady Fairfax @dsw0117]

@anna_c_kramer And yet they’ll wonder why the crowd was far less than prior years. With the commute back out to the suburbs, an 11:00 start is just unrealistic for families.

Mika, please, it’s Is-re-al, not “Isral.”

DACA recipients were brought into the country as children by their parents. When did cruelty become acceptable in this country?

[MAGA Barbz Mom @carolene_rose]

Called me harsh or rude but DACA or dreamers don’t get a pass because of their sob stories or whatever. As a citizen, I get arrested on any charges and don’t get a pass. What makes them special to be exempted from the law???? #massdeportation

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

For months, the Trump Admin has been slow walking DACA renewal and work permit processing. Now it is paving the way for them to be deported even before their DACA expires.

Congress must finally act to protect these young people who know no other home & pass the Dream Act. This is a matter of simple American fairness & justice.

@Savorthenow @AP There is no honor in filling frivolous suits, and it could even lead to disbarment.

[Lady Fairfax @dsw0117]

@thehill I doubt there will be any serious diplomatic negotiations as long as DT is in office. There is no trust, & Iran knows the longer this cluster-f continues, the worse it is for the US economy. What was warned against, happened, & our allies understandably want no part in this mess.

[Lady Fairfax @dsw0117]

@thedailybeast He’s doing this because people are starting to realize he’s not the character he played on the show. Once that myth is vaporized, he’s done for.

[Lady Fairfax @dsw0117]

We are all responsible when we allow our country to jail children and allow cruelty to and neglect of immigrants in detention.

This is not American, and it must stop NOW.

[Congressman Greg Casar @RepCasar]

This week I visited the Dilley Detention Center. It’s a jail in the desert used to imprison children.

I saw with my own eyes how Trump and ICE lie, and lie, and lie.

[Joaquin Castro @JoaquinCastrotx]

Hayam El Gamal and her five children have been locked away at the Dilley trailer prison for almost a year.

The mother has fluid near her heart and is in severe pain but won’t be given proper care. The 16-year-old son had delayed treatment for appendicitis. The 5-year-old daughter needs dental surgery but ICE refuses care. The oldest daughter has been separated from the rest of her family.

I have met with the family at Dilley. The children are bright, gracious, and innocent. The family must be released.

[Joaquin Castro @JoaquinCastrotx]

Two-year-old Kaleth is being locked away at the Dilley trailer prison. He is getting sicker with each passing day. He will not eat the food CoreCivc serves, which detainees have said sometimes has mold and worms. He now has a fever. When his mother asked for help, the staff said it was all “mental.” A vulnerable child at the Dilley trailer prison was suffering and ICE denied their reality and their needs. It’s shameful and must stop.

I am calling for ICE to provide proper medical care to Kaleth and to release him and his mother Joani immediately.

I mourn the days when a tan suit and a sleeveless dress made news. 🙄

@smalls2672 @CurtseyWilliams One of the first thing Reagan did was take away the 4 year college Social Security benefit for surviving children of a deceased breadwinner.
Ever wonder why college loans have exploded?

[Lady Fairfax @dsw0117]

We could probably use this guy today after one of our fighter jets just went down in Iran. Praying for the pilot. FAFO.

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has fired Army Chief of Staff General Randy George. Serving for over 40 years, George received the Purple Heart.

RETWEET if you stand with General George against Trump!

[Lady Fairfax @dsw0117]

@ThunderTrip @CBSNews Gutting the armed forces of good people results in things like 3 of our jets getting shot down by our ally within days of the war starting.
Why are we trusting someone to be Sec. of Defense who accidentally shared classified information with a famous journalist on a group chat?

[Lady Fairfax @dsw0117]

Unbelievable how a leader thinks he can get away with shitting on his allies for over a year & then wonders why they won’t lift a finger to help him when he asks, & after he tells them he doesn’t actually need them anyway because the US is just so powerful.🙄

For the leader and followers who do not know the difference between Excursion and Incursion:

Excursion: A brief pleasure trip or a group tour.

An incursion is a sudden, often brief, hostile invasion, raid, or intrusion into a territory, domain, or area.
