I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

With the help of 39 Democrats who asked him questions and gave him a few moments of respite, Cory Booker held the Senate floor for more than 25 hours. It was the best showing of Democrats since inauguration—in fact, argues Joan Walsh, well before that.

I wrote this essay about Noem nearly a year ago. The week, the now “Secretary of Homeland Security”, made a video in front of what looked like a concentration camp, in which she wore a $60K watch and used imprisoned human beings as props. This was the goal. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...
