🚨The Trump admin is moving to terminate Temporary Protected Status for half a million Haitians in the United States, seemingly illegally moving up the expiration date from next February to August of this year.

IRS employee tells me the IRS is going to terminate ~6,600 people today. These are by and large people who "go after tax evasion."

By the way, people should understand that the admin doesn't have to shoot or gas people to kill them. If you pile people in military-run camps in Gitmo and the Panamanian jungle without adequate food or healthcare and just wait, people will die

I follow French politics a lot, as many of you know. Any effort for mass layoffs of public sector employees there would create such huge strikes and marches, the level of disruption and paralysis would be biblical.

MTG defended Trump's firing of 17+ inspectors general by saying they had "overseen $36 trillion in debt." No, that's Congress and the president.
