The Trump administration will start selecting lawyers for unaccompanied minors. Meaning the judges work for Donald Trump, the prosecutors work for Trump, and now the attorneys representing children will work for Trump. This is a rigged system that will result in more untold horrors for these kids.

This is utterly horrific. "Greene-Placentia struggled to open her eyes. She felt a sharp pain below her waist. The attacker was pulling his penis out of her. She heard him mumble something like, '-ic bitch, not a very good fuck,' which her mind filled in as 'Democratic bitch,' she recalled."

As American democracy backslides, fundamental principles of constitutional government give way. Here, we see a dictatorial administration freezing out congressional oversight *of the military*, which represents a major step in an autocratic revolution of US-style civilian-military relations.

Susan Collins is showing just how out of touch she is. “I spent a whole year without health insurance…in ‘94” That was 3 decades ago, Susan, when insurance was $1500 annually… Thanks to Susan’s vote that helped pass Trump’s murderous budget bill, premiums are $1500 a month now for some folks.
