This part of the process-called notice-and-comment rule-making-tripped up the Obama administrat

It‘s long been an open secret that George W. Bush has little regard for Donald Trump. It‘s hard to blame our previous Republican president for that stance, as our current Republican president hasn‘t exactly covered himself in glory over the course of his brief political career.

Mindhunter‘sfirst scene begins with a hostage negotiation and ends in a spatter of blood and brain matter. The gore is a fake-out.

Throughout his presidential campaign, Donald Trump maligned undocumented immigrants as violent criminals and sexual predators who deserved to be rounded up and deported. Once in office, Trump transformed this rhetoric into policy, implementing a nationwide crackdown on immigrant communities. Now, the president‘s dehumanizing disparagement of undocumented people has now seeped into his administration‘s legal positions. This week, the D
