love to listen to Supreme Court oral arguments about fun hypotheticals like “if you have a womb is it possible you aren’t a person” and “should we have a king”

Yes! There is clearly HUGE support for doing “something” about US border policy, but people have long preferred certain “things” over other “things.”

Also, the Biden admin has done lots of “things” over the past 3+ years—many good and effective—and should talk about them more.

Great statement and important for President Biden to speak to the country at the bill signing.

Still, hard to reconcile the fully justified inclusion of Haiti in this release with the very recent resumption of removal flights to that country.

With resounding efficiency and little backlash, the U.S. has resettled tens of thousands of Ukrainians under a program the Biden administration set up to offer refuge to those fleeing the Russian invasion.

Great point. People are praising Johnson today for doing what was always available to him. He didn’t cultivate support for responsible governance among Rs—he turned to Democrats for the votes needed to govern.

Same story for the past DECADE.

Yes, but falsely conflating emergency supplemental funding to combat an actual invasion of Ukraine with supplemental funding to address real challenges at the US-Mexico border that are decidedly NOT related to an invasion was always dangerous BS so separating them is swell.

Huge disappointment. There is no safe and reasonable way for most people in Ward 3 to ride downtown. Shortsighted transportation planning decision.

Great point about another innovation of the Biden administration that has transformative potential if given the opportunity to grow and demonstrate the benefits of welcome to more communities around the country.

I donated $126—$18 for each of the seven World Central Kitchen team members killed in this strike—to honor them and the organization for the critical work they do.

Please consider making your own donation. wck.org/donate

If immigrants in Iowa actually were to leave the state as a result of the unconstitutional bill the governor may soon sign into law, the biggest loser would be Iowa itself. apnews.com/article/iowa-b…

Granting anonymity to a House Republican aide—not even a senior aide?!?—to say something this dumb is really silly.

Maybe worth pointing out that House Republicans haven’t voted to impeach Biden BECAUSE THEY’D LOSE THAT VOTE.
