In 2011, Rick Perry defended Texas' in-state tuition law on national TV: "If you say that we should not educate children who have come into our state for no other reason than they have been brought there by no fault of their own, I don't think you have a heart." 14 years later, the law is dead

I think this points up some of the failures of coverage of Trump's lawlessness: You could've read dozens of articles on Trump's tariff policy with no inkling of how unprecedented & legally dubious was the legal authority he claimed to impose them. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/b...

Some 23 year old HHS comms person out of LibertyU, probably: “So… what do you think we should do?” Some DOGE goon at HHS, probably: “Hmm. Let’s ask Grok.” Comms: “Uh, sure. Grok? Did you check these citations when you put them in the report?” Grok: “Yes. Also, WHITE SOUTH AFRICAN GENOCIDE!!!🤘🤘🤘”

“I was hungry” and you cut SNAP. “I was thirsty” and you cut funding to ensure clean water. “I was sick” and you cut medicaid. “I was a stranger” and you deported me. “I was in prison” and you just left me there to rot. “Whatever you do to the least of these, you do unto me.”-Jesus
