"NEW: the Trump admin has moved to terminate TPS for Honduras & Nicaragua, covering >50K ppl.
Both of these designations date back to 1999, meaning Trump wants to strip legal status from ppl here legally who've had a background check every 18 months for the last 26 yrs.
They're the single-most proven compliant noncitizens in the country -yet Trump/Miller wants to have them purged anyway."

"When tornados recently swept through Missouri and Tennessee and Kentucky, there were a few reports about local NWS office staffing shortages. The reports were explained away the next day by Caroline Leavitt at the White House saying that the cuts had not affected 'overnight' staffing at local offices."

According to Heather Cox Richardson, the forecasts were accurate but the storm changed abruptly and:
"former NWS officials ... told Christopher Flavelle of the New York Times that the problem appeared to be that NWS had lost the staffers who would typically communicate with local authorities to spread the word of dangerous conditions. Molly Taft at Wired confirmed that NWS published flash flood warnings but safety officials didn’t send out public warnings until hours later."
"Remigration" is ethnic cleansing. Eliminationist economics at work. "Aryanization": a Nazi euphemism for systematically taking property from persecuted groups. It started as "voluntary" due to economic coercion, later became theft backed by violence.

Beshear on Trump's bill: "It's the single worst piece of legislation I've seen in my lifetime and it is a congressional Republican and presidential attack on rural America. In my state alone, 200k are gonna lose their coverage ... 20k healthcare workers are gonna lose their jobs, and we've got up to 35 rural hospitals that may close."
@jerrygoff The kids were in a Quristion camp. Maybe Dog is telling them something. I'm not sure getting on your knees and blubbering will help.
if the President has the ability to nullify laws, then the US is in theory and practice, a dictatorship.

"Dachau was the first step on the road to atrocity. Will America go there? Eight months ago, I would have said never. At that point, America was still a nation under the rule of law. Now, we have politicians cheering the image of people being fed to alligators" and "selling swag celebrating the construction of an American concentration camp."

"No state has a longer, more profit-driven history of contracting prisoners out to private companies than Alabama."
"...it has constructed a template for the commercialization of mass incarceration."
"Best Western, Bama Budweiser and Burger King are among the more than 500 businesses to lease incarcerated workers from one of the most violent, overcrowded and unruly prison systems in the U.S. in the past five years alone..."
