If SCOTUS is sending this back to the lower court to be decided by trial, at least suspend the inhumane practice until then. Not let it go on until then. This SCOTUS has been rigged by the GOP and is behaving immorally.

💯 ICE is out of control and DHS needs to be dissolved. We need a whole new reorg of the fed gov't, but that can't happen in the next 2 yrs even with a blue tsunami. But hopefully a D majority in both houses will be able to do something to rein in this thug agency.

He resorts to bribery as easily as he takes a breath. All the while intentionally lying about it--another thing that's as natural to him as excreting. Gerrymandering, bribery... the GOP can't win on policy.

@FredTrump_
There are two reports out today that relate to the tragedy of 9/11. I will comment on them today because doing so on the 25th anniversary this Friday would take away from the solemn memories. I try not to comment personally about my uncle, but his claim that he brought a crew of workers to help at the sight so offends me that I need to speak out. He was not building a "big building" at the time. The only crew he claimed to bring to the site would have been secretarial and accounting employees from Trump Tower I knew many of them, and pretty sure they were not capable physically to help (if they could, I am sure they would try). Regarding the US Steel Building, ironically, the grandfather of a very close friend of mine was one of the original engineers - the bldg was built strong. Second, the brother of a partner of mine was an engineer that was immediately called to perform an inspection. While people were originally concerned, it was eventually cleared for occupancy - not creaking and ready to fall. I hope this brings some truth to that story. The second story will follow.

There are a lot of low-information voters out there who can be swayed by the messages they hear most often. As satisfying as it will be to see Trump's power and influence brought down by his own megalomania, I think it would be smart for Dems to address these ads and tie all GOP candidates to him.

They all suffer crushing guilt regardless, and many become lobbyists for car sensors that indicate weight in the car seat. What is surprising is the number of people who admit to close calls with forgetting a child in the car--a nurse, a tv anchor, even the author of a study on the phenomenon.
