“I don’t find anything unusual about a fundamentalist theocrat who thinks the Bible is the supreme law of the land attending the legal proceedings of an adjudicated sexual assailant and world-class fraudster and con-man for cooking the books to cover up hush money payments he made to a porn star to conceal his adulterous affair,” said Rep. Jamie Raskin. “Do you?” https://www.thedailybeast.com/speaker-mike-johnson-is-the-next-suck-up-to-visit-trump-trial

On #TaxDay, your friendly reminder that undocumented immigrants pay billions in taxes annually. Their robust contributions also help sustain programs like Medicare and Social Security (which they can never access unless they become eligible to adjust their status): https://americasvoice.org/blog/on-tax-day-the-facts-speak-clearly-immigrant-workers-pay-billions-into-social-security-and-medicare-help-fund-public-schools-and-libraries-and-boost-our-economy/

“The gag order bars Trump from continuing to attack Merchan's daughter (although he is free to attack Merchan). But many of Trump's surrogates attacked Merchan's daughter over the last few days, using very similar language … The similarity of the comments suggests an organized campaign.”

Undocumented workers pay an estimated $13 billion into Social Security annually—a fund they can never access unless they can adjust their immigration status. The Social Security Administration estimated in 2014 “that unauthorized workers have paid a whopping $100b into the fund over the past decade”: https://americasvoice.org/blog/on-tax-day-the-facts-speak-clearly-immigrant-workers-pay-billions-into-social-security-and-medicare-help-fund-public-schools-and-libraries-and-boost-our-economy/

Six years later, 1,400 children remain separated from their families due to the Trump admin’s policy.

Remember that children were ripped from parents without so much as a chance to hug goodbye.

“I had no idea where they were taking us,” one dad said. “I told my son to not be afraid and that everything was going to be OK. I told him to be a good boy.”

The Florida crash that resulted in the deaths of eight farmworkers harkens to the Baltimore bridge collapse, which killed six immigrant workers. These men were among millions of essential workers.

But they shouldn’t have to die to have their work honored. Their labor should be recognized every day. More at America’s Voice:

Trump “boasted about speaking to members of a murder victim's family. It now appears he made that up.”

"... I’m trying to imagine what the reaction might be if President Joe Biden publicly declared that he’d spoken to a murder victim’s family members, only to have evidence emerge soon after that those interactions hadn’t happened."

“The case has become known as the ‘Stormy Daniels hush-money case,’ which has made it easier for the public to dismiss, because it seems like small potatoes. In fact, the argument that the prosecutors have made in court filings is focussed on something closer to election interference. The case is about Trump lying his way into office.”

Key to Stephen Miller’s cruel effort to purge millions of immigrants from their homes and the US will be collaboration from police and National Guard from red states.
