Trump CHILLING press event, authoritarian NIGHTMARE
During a White House meeting with El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele, Donald Trump proposed deporting American citizens he called “homegrown criminals” to El Salvador and urged the country to build more prisons to hold them. When asked about the wrongful deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Bukele deflected, claiming he lacked the authority to return him.
SHOUTING Trump adviser MELTS DOWN on Fox News
Stephen Miller had a live meltdown on Fox News while defending the Trump administration’s refusal to bring back Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man wrongfully deported despite court rulings. He shouted over host Bill Hemmer, falsely claiming the deportation was legal and calling any attempt to return Garcia an “invasion” of El Salvador. The incident highlights the administration’s disregard for the rule of law and its increasingly authoritarian stance.
From yesterday’s show:
Trump Press Secy IMPLODES when asked SIMPLE question
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dodged basic questions on falling consumer confidence and Trump’s trade policy, offering vague optimism without data. On a wrongful deportation case, she played semantics, falsely claiming the administration only had to “facilitate” the man’s return, not “effectuate” it. Her responses reflect deflection, loyalty to Trump, and a refusal to face inconvenient truths.

Bernie BRINGS THE HOUSE DOWN at Coachella
Bernie Sanders gave a passionate speech at Coachella, urging young people to fight for justice, climate action, and economic equality. The audience responded enthusiastically, but critics pointed out the irony of delivering a populist message at an event with high ticket prices and luxury perks.

Amendment to a previous post (about family from Nicaragua): (1) The whole family had green cards; and (2) The wife suffered a miscarriage about 2 yrs ago but later carried a baby to full-term. (She worked while she was pregnant.) This child was born an American citizen. These people were the ONLY employees who have EVER worked for us who were completely professional. Unlike ALL OTHER people we have hired for various jobs, they were the only ones who showed up on time, and sometimes ahead of schedule. We can think of only one other person who works for us who is professional and guarantees his work. No matter who we later hire for the yard, they will cost twice what Antonio charged and will do a terrible job.
