To Trump & the Republicans & their fans, the world is a better place every time a gay, lesbian, bi, trans, or questioning person is raped, beaten, or killed (in prison, or out of prison). This policy change is, basically, Trump raping trans people, and I’m sure it gives him a hard-on.

ICE and the Trump administration have a long track record of lying about everything, truthing about nothing, so I’m believing the woman in scrubs.

This would be heard by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, which is autonomous, and unlike the US judiciary, not a wholly-owned subsidiary of Trump & the Republicans. So… maybe there’s a chance for something approximating justice?

Political affiliation is irrelevant; Henry Cuellar is a crook, which makes him a buddy of Trump.

Excerpt: Nelson asked, Are you a racist? “Absolutely not. I’m Christian. I love all people,” Fitzpatrick answered.

Might as well be the Republicans’ motto: “Cruelty first.”

Hmmm, I thought they’d already done this stupid cruelty. Perhaps I’m confusing it for one of the thousands of other stupid cruelties. There ought to be an app for that…

In the daily blizzard of bullshit, you might be unsure who Bari Weiss is? She’s a right-wing opinion writer, recently appointed as head of CBS News, with a mandate to roll back that network’s non-existent leftist bias. This is her first big move, hosting a prime time pre-recorded ‘town hall’ with the widow of right-wing propaganda king Charlie Kirk.

I’m expecting an hour of hard-hitting journalism.

“The border is secure. That’s a good thing. It happened on [Trump’s] watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he’ll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there’s a lot that’s left to be desired.”
