@GustavoArellano It is. It is not the best burger in california despite what Anthony Bourdain said. Hell the Apple Pan and as chili guy tom's is better
@USCnDodgerBlue @GustavoArellano @LucasDonnelly10 Multiple people have posted pictures of the menu. There is something called the Barstow taco, and there is a separate item called a street taco. Any Californian with common sense knows the difference, even if Hilton doesn’t.🙄
Naturalized citizens committing fraud could lose their citizenship. Your friends who commit fraud? They get pardons: • Jason Galanis — $200M+ fraud • Joseph Schwartz — $38M scheme • Lawrence Duran — $205M Medicare fraud billing • Carlos Watson — $60M investor scam • Trevor Milton — $20M+ investor losses • Todd & Julie Chrisley — $30M bank fraud • Devon Archer — $60M bond fraud scheme • George Santos — multiple fraud cases ($44K–$1M+) • Michele Fiore — charity fraud • Brian Kelsey — campaign finance fraud • Scott Jenkins — bribery and fraud scheme • Paul Walczak — $10M+ tax fraud • Adriana Camberos — counterfeit/fraud operation
Not long ago these were coveted jobs that some people would have *paid* money to get.
@patriottakes @heyman_von This is why he thinks he’s still popular. If he came to Brooklyn or Chicago it would not go well for him.
Waiting for a consular appointment was already a problem for H-1B holders, but several policy decisions have made this issue much worse: 1.) The Trump Admin reversed a policy allowing them to renew their visas at any U.S. Embassy. Previously, visa holders could find a consular office with the shortest waiting periods and book an appointment there. Now, an Indian applicant needs to renew their visa in India--which has ridiculous waiting times. 2.) The Trump Admin removed a pilot program that allowed H-1Bs to renew their visas stateside--allowing them to wait out the bureaucratic process in the US so they could continue to work and be with their children as their ability to re-enter the U.S. is pending approval. 3.) The Trump Admin required that children and seniors be physically present at a consulate and get interviewed for visa renewal. The previously policy waived interview requirements for children under 14 and seniors over 79. The lines for getting your visa renewed extend far outside of the physical building. Imagine waiting hours line in India during over 100 degree weather--and you have to bring your baby with you. Imagine having to do this as a senior citizen. The Trump Admin needs to reverse these policies ASAP.
@awernick Most people I know with a pending asylum claim are advised not to return to their country.
@RyanGirdusky If they have a pending asylum claim, it won’t be valid anymore if they leave. So your concern is automatically resolved.
Simply incorrect.

@SenEricSchmitt So basically, less than would fit into the Liberty Bowl when half the stadium is under construction.
Breaking News: The Justice Department wants to revoke the citizenship of hundreds of foreign-born Americans, part of a push to increase the pace of denaturalizations, according to a U.S. official. nyti.ms/3Qqk4yy
@SundaeDivine I feel the same way. I never tell people I went to Harvard unless someone mentions Harvard first in which case I mention that I went to Harvard and go on to discuss how I never mention it unless someone brings up the subject.
This is somewhat misleading. Several acts recorded Springsteen songs, but he didn’t exactly “write for other people” (Possible exceptions — Patti Smith and Gary US Bonds). Contrast that with, say, Prince who both had artists cover his songs (Chaka Khan, Sinead O’Connor) and wrote/gave away songs specifically to other artists (Manic Monday to The Bangles, Sugar Walls to Sheena Easton, The Glamorous Life to Sheila E., whole albums for The Time, etc.).
@NYTimesPR @mattvanswol @hknightsf @nytimes @Haleaziz I'm astonished that NYT responded to this post. That said, when you take away the profanity, I see that the objection is to "no criminal history." Could be mincing words, but is a deportation order since 2019 a criminal history?
Q: Will we see ICE arresting illegal migrants at airports? TRUMP: Yeah. That's why the Democrats are going crazy. ICE loves it because they're able to now arrest illegals as they come into the country. It's very fertile territory.
Trump is threatening to place ICE agents at airports in place of the TSA and says they will arrest “illegal immigrants” entering the country — but people generally don’t arrive at airports without a visa or from a visa-waiver country. Those who enter through airports typically come legally and then overstay. Also, ICE agents would need to be trained — so that’s about 2-3 weeks.
Also walked in Memphis and walked on Madison!
