Imagine getting an asylum appointment from the U.S. government, showing up for your scheduled appointment, and then getting deported to a foreign prison. That's what happened to Andry Romero. He deserves due process.

MUST WATCH: Marco Rubio just said—on camera—they’re looking for other countries to deport people to. Not just immigrants. PEOPLE. “The most despicable.” His words. No trial. No oversight. No law. Just backroom deals to exile human beings.

The Attorney General of the United States gushing on camera that the President has saved two-thirds of the entire population of America from dying of a fentanyl overdose was a gut-churning lurch towards the absurd flattery lavished on personality-cult dictators by fawning subordinates.

Son of immigrants, Marco Rubio, calls human beings "despicable" and wants to dump them in other countries like trash. Since he loves authoritarian cruelty so much, he should deport himself to Cuba’s dictatorship and stop violating the rule of law. If despicable has a face in this story—It’s him.

I’d say that Kennedy Jr.—whose deranged conspiracy theories are now likely to cost America a new COVID-19 booster this fall—won’t be happy until his narcissism costs tens of thousands their lives, but the truth is he won’t be happy then, either. He’s a miserable man engaged in miserable misconduct.

Mike Waltz should have been fired for being a national security disaster. Instead he was fired for having a reporter in his phone.

Something is going on with Ed Martin's nom to be US attorney. But what, precisely, is unclear. Sen. Durbin said this AM: "It’s my understanding that we are not going to move forward on the Martin nomination." Grassley said he'd have more to say when Martin's nom was officially on the calendar.

With all the talk of product shortages , I think it should be said that products will first find their way to densely populated areas first and everywhere else, last This certainly will hurt all those red counties. How they react to their shelves being everything will define the midterms

I’m so confused by the folks who said that raising the minimum wage would increase the price of every day goods while also being okay with tariffs raising the price of every day goods… I reckon they are okay paying higher prices as long as it doesn’t help anyone making a minimum wage.

Any company that can replace a tariffed product with an American made is going to flourish. Can’t get tomatoes or avocados, twinkies and Ho-Hos are made in US bakeries and are the perfect replacement !!! Pay no attention to the price increase. They never go bad !

Call it something fancy like "malfeasance" or something simple like "incompetence" but either way there should be articles of impeachment to remove the HHS secretary for being a shameless liar who is working relentlessly to make people sick.

I’m starting to think letting the guy who taught his little brother to shoot up when he was just a kid or who gave the family bird LSD before selling cocaine out of his Harvard dorm then spending several decades as a philandering douchebag wasn’t the right choice to lead HHS.

The President is attacking me because I filed Articles of Impeachment, asking “What the hell did I do?” It's all in my seven articles of impeachment: 1. Defying a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling. 2. Dismantling federal agencies.

The so-called “moderate” GOP position on Medicaid cuts is no cuts above $500 billion. Hello? That would mean 18 million children and 2 million adults with disabilities lose health care coverage, according to the latest estimates. What’s “moderate” about that?

Not to be a Wednesday morning quarterback, but if the president is saying something not just false but stupid, it's probably a good idea to keep asking questions. (Do you know what Photoshop is? Who told you this guy had MS-13 tattooed on his knuckles? Who gave you the blown-up picture?)
