Quandary Well

On the 2024 bipartisan border bill: yes, Senate Republicans (following Trump’s lead) blocked it, which was politically shortsighted if the goal was actual fixes. But that came years after the surge was already underway and historic. Trump wasn’t in office when the initial policy reversals and record 2021 numbers hit. And it was the bad policy changes that led to the overwhelming numbers. Ending Remain in Mexico and releasing anyone with an asylum claim into the US was a horrible idea, along with catch and release policy within the US gave a major incentive structure for people to come.

Good on you for your retraction of “she was in charge of the border” 👍🏻 Correction: Border SURGES “massively increased” Were the Dems in any way, shape or form set up to manage that surge? Hell no Releasing “massively increased” numbers of asylum claimants, instead of detaining all of them in facilities? That is a question of appropriating additional budget through Congress Tell me how Congress appropriated additional resources to manage that “massive surge” or how Trump interfered with proposed legislative measures to manage that surge Let’s also talk abt how Abbott purposely quick tracked 1000’s out into the interior & refused other practical help to manage the surge The bigger picture ? Our BROKEN asylum system is not something to be managed by EO’s It needs legislative action & both the left & right are complicit in that sh!tshow The Dems did not CREATE the surge after Covid. They were wholly unprepared to manage it & the GOP ran interference because it suited the campaign messaging. Failing grades all round The debates around how we, as a nation, want to or should treat asylum claimants once they are IN THE SYSTEM is a separate, but important issue

Breaking News: Democrats released a draft autopsy on Kamala Harris’s defeat in the 2024 election that partly blames Joe Biden’s political operation, and arguing that it failed to position her for success in the race after he dropped out. nyti.ms/4uATd1G

Opinion: Many ideas pushed by Biden and Harris helped drive voters away. If the DNC autopsy is any indication, Democrats still haven’t learned that lesson. usatoday.com/story/opinion/…

@USATODAY As a former Democrat still living in a blue state I can tell you they absolutely haven’t learned their lesson. If they put someone up that won’t at least admit we need a strong border then they lose

Sugar coat it all you want. The bigger problem was the administration’s overall policy choices. Even with Harris handling long-term diplomacy, the White House and Mayorkas oversaw decisions that massively increased releases into the U.S. interior: catch-and-release at scale, ending Remain in Mexico, pausing interior enforcement, and expanding parole programs. Millions of migrants were allowed in pending asylum hearings that often take years because of enormous court backlogs (now over 3 million cases).

@ThinkusU @nytimes “Terrible” is a relative term We could do with a dose of old ‘n doddery right now 🤷🏼‍♀️ And Harris was tasked with identifying immigration causes & solutions from South American countries - she was not charged with border control - that was Majorcas The more you know 🤷🏼‍♀️

@USATODAY No one cares. Another celeb looking for relevance and left wing brownie points

Natalie Maines of The Chicks doubled down on her recent criticism of President Donald Trump in a scathing new post on social media. usatoday.com/story/entertai…

@BuckResists @RollingStone I’m not MAGA. You guys are hysterical. This is an opinion piece, and a bad one. Rolling Stone has turned into another cookie cutter left wing mouthpiece. YAWN

@ThinkusU @RollingStone Truth hurts. You are blinded and in a cult. Wake up your MAGAT brain for once

COMMENTARY: Let’s say it plainly: There has never been a president as corrupt as Donald Trump. There is no close second in our history. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

@DeadbyDaylight Cool so balloons on the gens and hooks for the fifth year in a row? Or do you actually have a fun plan for the anniversary?

It’s been ten years in The Fog, and that calls for a celebration! We’ve got jam-packed weeks full of events, reveals, and so much more. Make sure you watch out for all those envelopes in the coming days.

@susinhamil78224 @SYS_04_ @EndWokeness Did you know that can be upset about injustices taking place in other countries?

@ABC They can start by not trying to redraw congressional districts by race. Modern day Jim Crow being brought back by democrats

Democratic power players launch effort to 'sabotage-proof' elections. abcnews.link/6HZhAmC

@RepBonamici Democrats have been playing the same tired broken record of “that’s racist, you’re a Nazi!” All while doing nothing for Americans. How many unnecessary murders, rapes and other crimes were committed by illegals with open borders policy?

There are 26 members of Congress who were born in other countries, including many Republicans. But Nancy Mace only targeted three Democrats who are progressive people of color. This is racist and hateful and I call on Rep. Mace to withdraw her statement and check her conscience.

@RepJasmine Everyone knows it’s the left that is more violent. You can’t gaslight your way out of this. Nobody takes you seriously

We still haven’t had a real hearing on the rise of white supremacist violence, the lives lost, or the extremist groups empowered by dangerous Republican rhetoric. But somehow, Republicans found time to hold a hearing claiming the Southern Poverty Law Center is “manufacturing hate.” Meanwhile, they’re defending an almost $2 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund that could put money in the pockets of January 6 extremists — including people tied to white supremacist groups that attacked our democracy. Y’all can miss me with the performative outrage.

@NYCMayor Socialists are so concerned about government handouts because their platform thrives on saying they can give people free stuff. When that power is not controlled y them they will blame everyone trying to keep people productive and happy

Food stamp work requirements don’t create jobs, they create hunger. If the federal government wanted to help people find work, it would invest in public jobs programs and guarantee a living wage. Instead, it’s punishing people who are already struggling to survive. These rules took effect on March 1, meaning benefit reductions could begin as early as June 1. Find out whether you’re subject to these requirements — and how to stay compliant — by calling 718-SNAP-NOW (718-762-7669).

@JBPritzker Chicago needs Trump. Democrats have turned it into a crime ridden hell hole.

Keep Chicago out of your mouth.

@CNN They actually need it. Democrats policy of free healthcare and open borders is a great way to kill the country

The Trump administration is proposing admitting more White South Africans, according to an emergency determination sent to Congress cnn.it/4ds9oXW

@elonmusk One of the many reasons I no longer vote left.

The left is the party of violence

@RepPressley You sound so racist. Defending districts drawn in racial lines. That’s some Jim Crow bs you’re defending 🤣🤣. Democrats never change.

The fight over voting rights is about fair representation. When we don't have Black representation in government, there are issues that won't get called to the table. Like the Black maternal morbidity crisis, the racial wealth gap, the CROWN Act, and more.

@ABC Good. It’s working. Now they have the option to come back the legal way. They did enter illegally

Immigrants are giving up their claims in immigration court and voluntarily leaving the U.S. in exponentially higher numbers under the Trump administration, according to a new report based on federal data. abcnews.link/WFTMOpJ

@KerryHolmekb Yes democrats, please elect her. If they allow you to actually pick the candidate this time, that is. Would love to see this idiot against Rubio or Vance.

It’s time to elect a fearless woman who isn’t afraid to challenge the system 🇺🇸🔥 Some see her as the future of progressive politics… others strongly disagree. 👀 Is America ready for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as President? 👍 YES 👎 NO 💬 Drop your opinion below.”
