In addition to having no experience in immigration, their website shows Ilya Shapiro (!) and disgraced former law prof Joshua Wright (!) as Senior Counsel. I don't think this massive contract was awarded to give immigrant children effective, zealous advocacy. burkegroup.law/our-team/

26-employee Texas law firm gets $150M to represent 24,000 children in immigration court

And yet, not long after Commander Bone Spurs threatened them, Iran continued to shoot at ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump's steely resolve clearly has them terrified.

While American families are getting flattened by skyrocketing costs, Donald Trump is spending $1.4 billion to keep troops on the streets in Washington for years on end. The National Guard are not pawns, and taxpayer dollars are not a piggy bank for Trump’s political stunts.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · yesterday

The Pentagon’s deployment of National Guard troops to D.C. is set to cost an additional $1.4 billion through the end of the Trump administration, according to information reviewed by The Post. The estimate encompasses October 2026 through January 2029.

On what planet did anyone think John Fucking Cornyn and Tom Fucking Tillis were going to stop corrupt, Christofascist Todd Blanche from becoming AG? So tired of people who keep going to the movie expecting the ending to change because media outlets pretend there’s conflict. They’re all bad actors.

Biden was replenishing our stockpiles with US manufacturers using US union steel. Trump has sent tens of thousands of those jobs overseas and has crippled our supply chain with tariffs and none of our allies want to help us. Maybe we can buy our arms back from Saudi Arabia.

Did Todd Blanche pull the wool over the eyes of Tillis and Cornyn? Or did they put on a dog and pony show of acting like they were fighting for some “concessions”?

Is Todd Blanche’s nomination back on track after he allegedly “rescinded” the $1.8 billion slush fund & limited the tax immunity provision in the “settlement agreement” in Trump’s collusion w/the IRS & Treasury Dept.? There's no enforceability to what Blanche has done: youtu.be/Em09xu3UGxQ?...

The whole point of the Bill of Rights is to protect the only true minority - the individual. It limits the governments power to harm the individual. The whole constitution is designed to limit the governments power.

Phang: "The fact that it's taking France and England and other foreign countries to be able to launch investigations, and yet our American DOJ is sitting on it doing absolutely nothing, including not cooperating with those foreign nations, is such a big red flag."

Donald Trump has lied about ending more wars than any other President and that only requires the number of times he's lied about ending the Iran War! Still in progress by the way.
