You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

"Tell us how we did" now hits my inbox after everything from buying some ice cube trays online to getting a colonoscopy. Trust me, if I had an opinion, you'd have heard it already. Just get on with your damn day.

These SpaceX failures are being financed by taxpayer dollars. So far, over $7,000,000,000. So this is *actual* government waste, unlike the *alleged* waste at Social Security that DOGE was unable to find.
