“We know that roughly nearly 4,000 known or suspected terrorists come into our country illegally, and we know that our most vulnerable point of entry is southern border,” Sarah Sanders began, but Fox's Chris Wallace cut her off.

The 22 immigrants who died in the nation's sprawling network of detention centers over the past two years came to the United States from countries as far-flung as Vietnam, and as close as Mexico. Some had been longtime legal residents, arriving as refugees or students. Others were recent asylum seekers. Many were young — half were not yet 45 years old.

Gentlewomen, start your engines

Pelosi: Impeachment is 'divisive,' but colleague's coarse language is no worse than Trump's
In an MSNBC town hall, the newly elected House speaker said she has a "generational reaction" to the profane language a fellow Democrat used to describe the president.


Trump has absolutely no idea what’s coming. He understands that DC is about to change, but he’s never experienced — and he’s vastly  unprepared for — real oversight.

Welcome, Madam Speaker. - Angry WH Staffer tweet


I'm not crying, you're crying!

Weird, I Noticed NBC Bias When Tim Russert Crucified Bill Clinton Weekly
Mainstream media’s pro-war posture hammered in veteran NBC reporter’s scathing resignation letter
