Summary

The Trump administration plans to revoke temporary legal status for 240,000 Ukrainians who fled Russia’s war, fast-tracking them for deportation.

The move is part of a broader effort to strip protections from 1.8 million migrants admitted under Biden’s humanitarian parole programs.

Trump’s policies also target 530,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.

Legal challenges are mounting, as affected individuals face uncertain futures. Advocates warn that even U.S. allies, such as Afghans who assisted the military, are now at risk of detention and deportation.

      Because America is too weak to deal with internal threats.

      In less than 24 hours we can reign unholy fire down upon any enemy anywhere on the globe. But if they’re in our own backyard we cower before them and allow them to abuse us repeatedly.

      And that is why our democracy will collapse and our quality of life will decline.

        That kid almost became a historic legend.

        I honestly don’t know what would have happened. Would the country have been upset and voted for whatever other scum Republicans tossed in as Trump’s replacement? Would it have been too late and the country would have just defaulted to Dems to be safe? I don’t know. But the kid would have still been a hero.

        Sooooooo close.

          The republican that took his spot would have won with a big majority but at least it wouldn’t be a Russian asset

            Not so sure how many republicans in office aren’t Russian assets at this point. There’s a bunch of them though, have been for a while.

          Yeah. Shooting targets is hard. Especially when it’s oozing to and fro on a stage X number of yards away.

          The real question is if it had made contact with his head, would it have killed him since his brain occupies such a small portion of that head? People often can live if a bullet doesn’t hit any vital organs.

        Most people who care what happens to others they never met are not murderers.

        People who know people affected are usually powerless.

      He’s living proof that time travel into the past is never going to get invented … likely because he cut most science funding.

        I’m not so sure about that.
        Just like the Federation in the Star Trek universe had the Prime Directive (rule) that prohibits its members from interfering with the natural development of alien civilization, I can see how time travel could have a similar rule. Going back in time to mess with things can create all kinds of unintentional butterfly effects.

          omg, maybe this timeline is a butterfly effect!

        Tbh, the shot looks like it would’ve blown the back of his dome off if he hadn’t done his classic chicken head jerk at the last possible second, probably right as the shooter was pulling the trigger. Instead, it grazed his ear. Missed him by literally half a second.

            What heart? For real, though, even a shallow angle impact here probably would’ve been catastrophic. The occipital lobe and brain stem control a lot of the very fundamental functions of continuing to be alive. It’s nuts how narrowly Trump avoided getting a game over screen.

            Though, yeah, a center of mass shot probably would have been all she wrote for Trump. My guess is that the shooter had a very, very narrow line of sight on Trump, and probably only had the head as an option. That’s likely why a few other people were injured or killed in the attempt; IIRC they were inadvertently between Trump and the shooter.
