Bad immigration economics assumes every extra person is one less seat. Good economics notices they also bring a seat, a side dish, and demand for the bloke selling drinks. The first story is fear; the second is how economies work.

He lives in LaLa land. The Republicans don’t give a shit about Government and a shit down. He thinks they are going to negotiate? What cave has he been living in for the past 8 months? And the many years before that. He is useless

Another Starlink outage just as the Trump regime is making states re-do their broadband expansion plans to move $$ away fr fiber builds to lining Elon’s pockets with tax dollars for satellite Internet And they call it they’re calling it the “benefit of the bargain” with a straight face 🙄

It’s time people - especially the media- stop “questioning the legality” and call it what it is: unconstitutional, or illegal actions.

Wait, you thought Trump was going to make some kind of consistent logical decision? Actually, he is. Pardon rulers and protestors who try to overthrow their duly elected government.

Who is going to work for them given the atmosphere of distrust , loathing and fear they are intentionally cultivating? Also, bty- there is a shortage of medical personnel. Ending Pell grants and eliminating attempts to recruit other than white men isn’t going to help that problem.
