The Trump Administration doing this reminds me of the Catholic Church in Africa in the 1990s and 2000s. They made the HIV and Aids epidemic worse by refusing to promote and distribute condoms and promote safe sex. Trump is going to get people killed just as the Catholic Church did in Africa.

Let's also remember that Trump's HHS Secretary doesn't believe HIV causes AIDS. He thinks it is caused by gay people taking poppers and lifestyle choices. So no surprise they would do this with an Aids denier running things.

The Reagan administration's 'response' to AIDS was appalling-at best they ignored it, and at worst they made it into a joke.

He said he would end it in 1 day. We're past 1 day of his administration and it sadly hasn't ended. Maybe don't make such grandiose statements like that.

Worse, he said he would end it as president elect...one phone call. Probably to his handlers in Russia.

Maybe the only thing saving the Ukrainian people right now is that Putin doesn't want to give Trump any power by giving him a diplomatic win.  Although, he seems really disconnected from the cost of the war to his own people so maybe he's deluded into thinking he can just keep going.

WIC?  Oh man...that's gonna leave a mark.

Not sure if this is a reliable source. I live on the opposite side of town from Dearborn, but there are at least three Arab/Muslim families on my block along with multiple Ukrainian immigrants. No raids yet here.

I've seen videos online, Michigan Lonyo area, and Outer Dr/Michigan, at the Kroger there.

as usual, totally unclear what the MAGA moron thinks he is doing and/or is doing. Unconstitutional, illegal, and stupid.

This will be spun into "opening bid" by the end of the day.   Unless low income people don't like feeding their babies and remain passive.

I was at that Kroger once. There was a bank in their and I was interviewing about 13-14 years ago for a district manager job that would cover the west side. I had previously stopped in a nearby Family Dollar to pick up a notepad and pen and later learned the worker there was killed like a day or two later. I actually don't recall running into any Arabs while I was there but I did drive down Warren Ave and everything was written in Arabic. I think that was my last time in Dearborn other than passing through on 94.

yes I remember that family dollar incident very well.  They took her further east near Southfield fwy, to the wooded area by the train tracks and shot her.  It was pouring rain and I drove by there around that time.  Haunting.

That whole Westborn mall is a ****hole. I go to that Kroger only if I need a few things that I can carry in a basket and the other places are closed or it's something I can't get.  they have  ton of self checkouts.  

The arab population has really migrated in Wayne County to the west.  Huge population growth.  Dearborn Hts might be a higher % than Dearbown now.  Then further west into Westland, Garden City, and Canton.  Canton especially since they have newer construction homes and subdivisions.  We could have a culture clash between them and the Indians.

They themselves will joke that 'we're taking over'.  They say it in a way that they move to get away from their fellow people, but then they follow.

This is going to end up getting litigated, as it should since it's impoundment and it's an example of a breach of the separation of powers (ie. Congress controls the purse strings, not the POTUS).

The damage will be lasting regardless.

Rampell is obviously in the right here, but stepping back, is there really any value to this? Does this form of "news" add anything positive to our society or to discourse at large?

And why aren't they arresting business owners and managers for hiring them in the first place. Huge fines on businesses who hire undocumented workers.

is this not what Jon Stewart raged against with Paul Bagela and Tucker Carlson years ago which killed Crossfire?

no, the fake arguments - one step up at most from professional wrestling - are not helpful to anyone

of course most young AMerican get their political news from comedians like Stewart, which is just as bad

"Nice" to see Trump golfing while people are suffering in California through devastating wildfires and its after effects. People died, homes were destroyed, and he's out there like George Bush. Now watch me hit this drive.
