@GoodNews_Please @TexasTribune Maybe Trump can turn on the water and have it sent from manitoba

@TexasTribune So the republican rule of years now can’t fix the problem they let fester? Huh 🤔

Texas needs at least $174 billion to avoid water crisis, state says. That new amount is more than double the amount predicted four years ago. The new forecast comes as supply is already drying up. bit.ly/4ciBypa

@MGroypess @RudolphTroha @HorseOneThms @gusbova @OliviaMesser I agree. Stop spending billions of dollars destabilizing other countries and there won’t be so much immigration. Most people prefer their own home and would like to not have to leave.

@lmnoppnom @RudolphTroha @HorseOneThms @gusbova @OliviaMesser Yeah, and we want it stopped. Wars cause the mass immigration. We want them both ended.

Texas' only licensed Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu legal interpreter is now languishing in a Raymondville detention center. She’s lived in America for 35 years: texasobserver.org/immigration-co…

@HorseOneThms @RudolphTroha @MGroypess @gusbova @OliviaMesser The country was founded in 1776. Are you saying it wasn’t a country because there were open borders until the late 1800s?

@lmnoppnom @RudolphTroha @MGroypess @gusbova @OliviaMesser Actually there were along with Drs inspecting immigrants at ports. USSC declared immigration federal responsibility/Congress passed Immigration Act of 1890(?) which created Superintendent of Immigration. His immigration agents (inspectors?) were stationed at ports of entry z

@RudolphTroha @MGroypess @HorseOneThms @gusbova @OliviaMesser Do you even know what slavery is? cheap labor is not slavery. People are free. Their children are free.

@MGroypess @lmnoppnom @HorseOneThms @gusbova @OliviaMesser Exactly. They want a permanent underclass of cheap labor. It's disgusting and anti-worker.

@RudolphTroha @MGroypess @HorseOneThms @gusbova @OliviaMesser The US still has troops in Iraq. They only left Afghanistan a couple of years ago. Billions of dollars is sent to Israel and other middle eastern countries.

@lmnoppnom @MGroypess @HorseOneThms @gusbova @OliviaMesser That's part of it, though we haven't really started any major wars since Iraq and Afghanistan, which were stupid. Mostly though it's social security and Medicare which are mathematical ponzi schemes.

@RudolphTroha @MGroypess @HorseOneThms @gusbova @OliviaMesser They were always done by immigrants or black Americans, sometimes forcibly.

@lmnoppnom @MGroypess @HorseOneThms @gusbova @OliviaMesser It's so interesting how mysteriously all those jobs were done by people before mass migration.

@RudolphTroha @MGroypess @HorseOneThms @gusbova @OliviaMesser Interest payments to pay for the borrowed money to start wars

@lmnoppnom @MGroypess @HorseOneThms @gusbova @OliviaMesser Defense spending is bloated but that's not why we're going bankrupt.

@HorseOneThms @RudolphTroha @MGroypess @gusbova @OliviaMesser Ellis Island didn’t open until the late 1800s. The country existed for a hundred years before that

@lmnoppnom @RudolphTroha @MGroypess @gusbova @OliviaMesser Tell it to the people who ended up in holding cells in Ellis Island, or in hospitals being check out by doctors, or were rejected by immigration agents during interview. Actual history is different than you think. Those were people not rejected by shipping companies.

@MGroypess @RudolphTroha @HorseOneThms @gusbova @OliviaMesser Then don’t complain about the country going broke when it spends trillions of dollars starting wars

@lmnoppnom @RudolphTroha @HorseOneThms @gusbova @OliviaMesser Two things can be true at once. There shouldn’t even be a federal income tax.

@HorseOneThms @RudolphTroha @MGroypess @gusbova @OliviaMesser There were no “immigration agents”

@RudolphTroha @lmnoppnom @MGroypess @gusbova @OliviaMesser Shipping companies who would have pay cost of returning rejected immigrants were strict who they allowed on ships, further immigration agents rejected many at port of entry. Those that were considered as possibly ending as wards of community were rejected or had to post a bond.

@RudolphTroha @MGroypess @HorseOneThms @gusbova @OliviaMesser Have you ever been to a hospital? Most of the workers doing the dirty work are foreign born. Most of the people picking crops are foreign born. Most day care workers are foreign born. Most ditch diggers are foreign born. Most slaughterhouse workers are foreign born

@MGroypess @lmnoppnom @HorseOneThms @gusbova @OliviaMesser Exactly right. I'm ok with bringing over genius scientists and Business tycoons who want to invest here, but instead we get third world scammers and low-wage serfs that rich white ladies in Beverly hills exploit as cheap housecleaners.

@MGroypess @RudolphTroha @HorseOneThms @gusbova @OliviaMesser The country is going bankrupt because it spends over a trillion dollars a year on the military and gives handouts to billionaires like musk. People like trump pay no federal income tax because they lost billions in real estate investments

@lmnoppnom @RudolphTroha @HorseOneThms @gusbova @OliviaMesser And they did not come here and get a free ride. They did not get preferential loans, food stamps, education, housing etc. Our country is going bankrupt. Meanwhile we have scammers from all over the world coming here and taking advantage of free shit.

@RudolphTroha @MGroypess @HorseOneThms @gusbova @OliviaMesser 1776 until the early 1900s. The USA was still considered a country with open borders

@lmnoppnom @MGroypess @HorseOneThms @gusbova @OliviaMesser When, in the early 1900s? That was a totally different time, with no welfare state, and even then it caused major social problems even though many of the people coming were from culturally related Europe. We don't need to repeat that today

@OneMoreVoice97 @atrupar So 25% or $1/gallon more than a month ago. Adding $200 extra a month to a budget when prices for everything else are already sky high is a problem

@lmnoppnom @atrupar If you're paying $6/gal then the problem is your state. I'm paying under $4.

Trump: "We have a very good relationship with Iran right now"

@monnakll @evanhill Do prisoners get metal utensils ?

@evanhill Fake news!

Images of food being served to sailors on the USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Tripoli, published by USA Today. Supplies "are going to get really low" and "morale is going to be at an all-time low," one sailor messaged his mother: usatoday.com/story/news/pol…

@OneMoreVoice97 @atrupar Nothing is funny about $6/gallon gas and bankrupt airlines

@atrupar You know he says this stuff just to infuriate the left. It's pretty comical.

@MGroypess @RudolphTroha @HorseOneThms @gusbova @OliviaMesser Yet it didn’t. Anyone who wanted to come to this country could.

@lmnoppnom @RudolphTroha @HorseOneThms @gusbova @OliviaMesser There are periods of mass immigration and periods where it is shut down throughout our history. During the 1st 100 years our country had the ability to shut down immigration, and it has many times since.

@grok @Milbo_Baggins_ @SDNYnews Sounds similar to Trump family charities

Stefan Pildes, president of SantaCon NYC, was arrested yesterday on federal wire fraud charges. Prosecutors say he raised at least $2.7M from 2019–2024 by promoting the event as a charity fundraiser for local causes, but diverted over half into a slush fund. He allegedly spent hundreds of thousands on personal luxuries like lakefront home renovations, vacations, concerts, and a fancy car—while only a small fraction actually reached charities. The FBI is now seeking victims (attendees or venues) via that form.

If you believe you have been victimized in the alleged SantaCon fraud, as either an attendee or a venue that participated in SantaCon, please fill out the short form found here: fbi.gov/SantaConVictims

@RudolphTroha @MGroypess @HorseOneThms @gusbova @OliviaMesser Why shouldn’t she have gotten it? Her skills are needed

@lmnoppnom @MGroypess @HorseOneThms @gusbova @OliviaMesser Work permit is not authorization to be in the country. And she shouldn't have even gotten that. And no, amnesty will destroy the country as it already did California. Mass migration is disruptive to the social fabric and drains pubic resources. The only option is mass removal.
