Looking at new apartments now. It's amazing how owners will put in nice cabinets and pretty bathrooms, but not upgrade the wiring. Yes, we noticed that the bedrooms all have one solitary outlet...

Q: Did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ? TRUMP: I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor and had to do Red Cross. Only the fake news could come up with that one.

Another one of those what-if-it-happened-in-another-country moments: The president is suing the government for $100 million dollars for searching his home for the classified documents he stole, and the attorney who represented him on those charges is currently leading the Justice Department.

I can see my house! 🤣🤣🤣

Whenever you see a story about how liberals aren't making their conservative peers feel welcome enough, this is who they're talking about.

It's really quite ironic this administration is using lockdown and social isolation to control the spread of a dangerous virus. It's almost like they're learning the real lessons of 2020.

ICYMI: The US is currently holding three times as many people in immigrant detention as were detained in the Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939 — six years into the Third Reich, and just before the start of World War II.

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!” So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it (H/T longtimehistory)

What's morale like at CBP & ICE right now? New survey data are damning. *21% of CBP respondents (9% of ICE respondents) believe their agencies' political leaders maintain high standards of integrity. *Only 23% at CBP (18% at ICE) feel confident they could report illegal acts without retribution

A legal asylum-seeker who works at Chipotle and plays music at a church in Maine went missing. His pastor searched and searched, eventually finding his abandoned car with the keys on the floor. ICE grabbed him. No criminal record. No explanation.
