Under the new rule, authorities could take factors such as family size and credit score into account when determining whether someone is “likely” to become a public charge.

Does it count as having a bad credit score when no bank except Deutsche Bank wants to lend to you? Or does stiffing vendors/US cities count as having a bad credit score?

Trump, McConnell, and the Federalist Society have not completely infiltrated and infected the U.S. judiciary - but we may be running out of time before they do.

And then they’ll do it anyway. Like Betsy DeVos was legally ENJOINED from the crap she was doing with student debt, and she just continued doing it.

They don’t care, they are all running out the clock, seeing everything they can fuck with before the end of the administration. Shows me they don’t ‘believe’ in Trump’s re-election, not one bit.

I know a Slovenian immigrant who lives in government housing.

And she even had an anchor baby.

And chained migrated both her parents!

And, writing Friday, Daniels emphasized that the government was “afforded numerous opportunities” to articulate a rationale for why it defined “public charge” the way it did.

I hear her marriage is a sham.

And she steals the words right out of a former first lady’s mouth.

And she still hasn’t learned English.

And she is not really an Einstein.
