I’ve been searching but can’t seem to find an answer. I’ve sifted through all the false reports. Are there any confirmed reports of them fining someone alive today?

Let’s take these exact same facts but change just one. That one fact would be that either Biden or Harris were president instead of Trump.
What do you think those pieces of shit who spoke at the press conference today would be saying?

I really don’t want to be judgmental but these people are really acting like they don’t want to talk about anything of substance.

There has literally been no information given here except for the number of rescues overnight. I see their mouths moving but nothing of substance.

Oh good. Kristi Noem is about to speak. She surely has new, detailed information to offer.
Just put the locals on and stop with this performative grandstanding by state and federal officials.
Where are you seeing this?

People are really sensitive about pointing fingers over in the rain thread, but it seems like to me that Texas government is pretty much like the federal government. They put their best people on the grift and the worst on policy and governance.

I know no one wants to say it right now, but the people that own and operate the camps hold a lot of responsibility here.
If you’re hosting that many children, at a site that close to a flood prone river, you should have at least one person on staff monitoring this 24/7, and a well established and trained evac plan.
I said it earlier in the thread that there is no excuse for having as bad cell service as they do where all these camps are located. I don’t know who it is that fixes that but it always made me super nervous when my kids were going.

The lack of cell service out there always bothered me when my kids were at Waldemar.

I’m getting updates from a group actively looking for a loved one that there may be up to 200 people who are being transported out of Hunt to the reunification center in Ingram. The process is very slow. Fingers crossed that this is accurate.
Hoping for the best as this is just devastating for the family that I know.-

my doc group covers a small rural hospital in Trump country. Red hats are the norm for those patients. We were forced to take this contract as a condition to getting more lucrative urban contracts from this hospital system. We have been trying to hire to help cover it for years to no avail. This hospital will almost certainly close soon since 90% of the patients are Medicaid. Oh well, problem solved and another big tax return for me. Enjoy my liberal tear I guess..
what is overlooked in all these discussions is that the bad shit that will happen due to Medicare cuts, will not occur until after the midterms next year because that’s when they go into effect.

I don’t remember any threads about years of unfettered immigration and the consequences like human trafficking or high speed chases etc. Or airports full of people being flown in our dime sleeping in gray sweats on the floors of our airports for YEARS. Higher housing costs. Higher healthcare costs. Higher auto insurance etc for everyone.
Y'all aren’t serious. Ask almost anyone from the border or close to it what they think. It should be shut down. And we should be kicking people out. Some people that deserve to stay might have to leave. But there have been some citizens here hurt directly for no reason by open border bs. And there have been plenty of indirect effects to others.
you’re mad that people who “should” get to stay are kicked out? Blame the ones that went balls to the wall and let anybody in.
You are acting like it’s an either/or proposition.
We had a sensible bi-partisan president pan to re-vamp our immigration. Your guy killed it in the interest of his election.
We could have sensible changes to our system, deport criminals, deal with the remainder, but do so with the dignity they deserve as fellow humans.
It could all be done without eroding our due process rights, sending people to foreign prisons whose only crime was that they came here for a better life, and not creating a thug police force to run our streets in masks and refuse to identify themselves.
We could also do it without rounding up US citizens who happen to be brown just because we are trying to meet a quota.
We could do it without terrifying children, putting people in cages, splitting up families and acting like these people are subhuman.
Instead, your guys want to dehumanize and blame those who have the least power for all your failings in life. Like you guys could be billionaires and life would be like Mayberry USA if it wasn’t for all those dirty illegals taking our jobs, living in housing you wouldn’t dream of living in, and living off the government tit (which they aren’t).
Of course, there is all the white entitlement you feel which is wrapped up in God, flag, and guns.
My biggest disappointment is going to be that there is not a God to look you people in the eye and ask you what the fuck was wrong with you.
Your post clearly proves that you have resolved the dissonance in all this by believing that these people are responsible for whatever problems we have that we have kicked the can down the road on for decades.
Meanwhile, you still expect our economy to hum, people to do the worst but necessary jobs like picking your produce, mowing your lawn, building your houses, clean up your shit in hotels and cook your food, all for next to nothing in cost to you.
But, instead, you have chosen to support being cruel, stupid and generally uninformed and bigoted.-

How these people resolve the dissonance regarding Trumps actions is truly the most amazing psychological event of our lifetimes. I’m just not sure that we have seen anything like it on such a mass scale.
Some might argue that to some extent Nazi Germany, but the amount of media coverage and exposure we have to it now makes it even more remarkable.

I have a friend who has a real-estate company in the Austin area (she's got a franchise or however that works). She can easily see the parent company, who already has a bunch of developers working on adding AI to all of their tools/websites, doing away with franchises, and just having a main corporate office, and a handful of employees in each city who handle any face-to-face stuff that's needed (final walk-throughs, etc.). She said there is so much in the real estate industry that could be automated on the financial side (planning, mortgage work, etc.) or done online remotely (and some already is) and the research side.
That's a whole helluva lot of people who might go to D.C. in the future and try and stage an insurrection.
I saw some guy talking on TV about how there was a blue collar uprising that ushered in the Trump era. He then went on to say that because of AI, the next uprising will be white collar due to AI job displacement.

Surprise surprise surprise. Collins voted against the bill but only because the gop didn’t need her vote with JD’s tie breaking vote.
I heard on the radio today that she has a whopping 14% approval rating in Maine.

You mean why are we being critical of Democratic leadership when they are doing basically nothing to combat anything the Republicans are doing? Gee whiz, I can't possibly imagine.
The Democratic party is being the loudest it has been since the election, but their ire is directed at the NYC Democratic mayoral nominee and not the party that's actively destroying our country, that ought to clue you in at least a little bit.
To do something you have to have power. They have none.
I am terribly unhappy about Dem leadership. But, that goes back years.
My larger point is that despite the moral depravity, self dealing, and possibly tyrannical shit being visited upon us by the R’s, it just seems so irrelevant to me.-

That isn't at all what I said, psycho. Take your fucking meds.
You can both understand that the Republicans are doing absolutely heinous shit and be critical of Democratic party leadership.
Thanks for making it easy on me and immediately exposing yourself as precisely the type of racist dipshit within the party that I'm being critical of, though.
Let's find out what other groups you want to blame [that aren't white men] for Kamala's loss, though. Just let it all out.
See my post below. Sorry it triggered you.

He never said anything about not voting for Dems or not wanting them in power. Do better.
My comment was satire on the whole the Dem’s are shit sentiment that I hear all too often. Why are people even wasting their breath on this crap with everything going on?
Sorry I didn’t get it down on your level. I’ll do better next time.

There is broadly no equivalency, but Democratic leadership is absolute trash and has no direction other than whatever they can say to sell their books. They don't give a shit what the Republicans are doing for the most part.
Mamdani's win has exposed a lot of the racist rot that is pervasive in the Democratic party that a whole lot of people love to pretend isn't there because the Republicans are just open about it.
Yes, the democrats are definitely responsible for everything bad that is happening. They should be held accountable for all of these terrible Trump policies. By all means, stop voting for them. Things will definitely be better if they don’t ever gain power.
Just like those Muslim Americans in Dearborn. They definitely had the right idea.-

Or they're intimately familiar with the history of midterm elections.
Then it would be the first time in our history that a political party just gave up on an election cycle in exchange for a once in a generation terrible piece of legislation. The cuts to things in this bill will reverberate for decades.
Texas -- a failed state

When a politician is not afraid of losing a general election, there is no accountability for them being bad at their job. Texas keeps returning the same people to office who generally have no fear of losing to a democrat who may actually be interested in public service.
However, what they are afraid of is losing a primary to someone who is more crazy than them. They have no interest in governing, but are more interested in culture war stuff. As a state, we care more about trans people in sports than actually working to make the lives of people safer and better.
All that makes for bad governance.
