This seems like a big deal.

How the HECK is it not a nationwide scandal that Trump told federal law enforcement to divert resources away from drug trafficking and terrorism cases to instead prioritize prosecuting undocumented immigrants for living here?
They screamed about fentanyl and then did this!
I hope the near future is less than fortuitous as well.
so let me get this straight; desantis’ anti-immigration bill was too extreme even for trump? did i read that right?
In reference to the photo at the top we find Steely Dan:
I stepped up on the platform
The man gave me the news
He said, you must be joking son
Where did you get those shoes?
Where did you get those shoes?
Well, I’ve seen 'em on the TV, the movie show
They say the times are changing but I just don’t know
These things are gone forever
Over a long time ago, oh yeah
The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office has for decades done great work prosecuting international money laundering cases. This Florida legislation is overreaching. Going after folks who have work authorization and wire funds to their relatives overseas is beyond the pale.
Wow @wagonmound, you are one offensive motherfucker.
Here’s another one:
This guy seems really nice . . .
Cult worship is complete. State legislatures are naming bills after the pant load.
They are as full of shit as his diaper.
@wagonmound Phuq you.
These types of things [I’m sure there are or will be others] are indeed very important. As JM has counseled, this is an easily understandable political message that needs to be shouted repeatedly: “Trump and his minions are making you less safe!” Not “Be humane to our hardworking immigrant communities.” As true as that is it doesn’t move the needle for far too many people. “These morons want to make YOUR communities more dangerous” should be hammered.
Another goofy failure pending in their goofy future.
They can’t erase it. We saw it. Spread the word : - )
Unless it was personal?
Poor Bootsie!
Cry me a river!
That is Trump’s position, and he is an anti-humanitarian, sociopathic asshole of the highest order.
Oddly enough, the predictive typing on all Android and iPhone keyboards spells out that entire phrase if you just tap “w”.
Marxist equity??
Because we all know that scientific research, the arts, historical science, and scholarship has never ever had an impact on people’s lives.
…affect people’s lives.
We have become a failing nation.
Eta. Actually, a little Marxist equity would be a welcome change about now.
History is written by people who can write.
The memo, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Post, also calls for each agency to perform a “comprehensive analysis” to ensure its grant and loan programs are consistent with President Donald Trump’s executive orders, which aimed to ban federal diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, and limit clean energy spending, among other measures.
Trillions of dollars could be on hold, according to an Office of Management and Budget memo.

A failing nation or a failed nation?
A willfully destroyed nation. The Luddites won.
Of course, the president has no authority over spending. I think that’s what the Constitution said, if someone can manage to fish it out of the shredder and sellotape it back together. Or retrieve it from the toilet.
