Don't have much of an opinion one way or the other on the sales tax decision, but as far as 5-4 splits go Kennedy/RBG/Alito/Thomas/Gorsuch vs. Roberts/Breyer/Sotomayor/Kagan is a unique one.

apparently ICE is directed to basically go back to catch and release for family units they catch crossing the border.

LOL, I actually thank Ryan for bringing this bill to the floor:

The Republican-run House has rejected a conservative immigration bill that offered no path to citizenship for young "Dreamer" immigrants. It also would have made it harder for immigrant citizens to bring relatives to the U.S. and taken steps to crack down on illegal immigration.

The measure's defeat was long expected. Many GOP moderates considered it too harsh and Democrats were solidly against it.

Thursday's vote gave hard-right Republicans, who largely come from deep-red districts, a chance to broadcast to voters the tough steps they would take on the issue. The measure was defeated 231-193.

Her spokeswoman out with the obvious "no hidden message" but come on... how is that jacket not on purpose? I mean, even if it was to use to show how the media makes mountains out of molehills (which they took hook, line, and sinker).
Quick Google shows that GoGo is wrong with regards to the Kiwi and the Banana.

@FLOTUS spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham when asked what message the first lady's jacket intends to send: "It's a jacket. There was no hidden message. After today's important visit to Texas, I hope this isn't what the media is going to choose to focus on."


To augment slugs post.

The message wasn't hidden... its humid as balls in the DMV today... well, OK then. It is tone deaf as hell in the least as she was on a trip to see little baby detainees separated from their families. I guess I will not read into it. When she wears the "Help me, I 'm a prisoner" scarf we will ignore that as meaningless fashion too.

If they don’t want the media to focus on stupid things, don’t do stupid things for the media to focus on.

Like there is not a distraction in the offering. As if the drama and intrigue are acts of fiction.

It's not a hidden message. It's saying it out loud. "I don't really care." Nothing hidden about it.

Crisis actor spotted at Texas child migrant detention center

[Reveal] Spoiler:
LA Times identified Melania as the crisis actor since she is on a tour to repair the family image. It is a spray of urine at Ann Coulter accusation of detained children being crisis actors because they were crying.

The PA Rs have now decided to appeal the PA Supreme Court's gerrymandering decision to SCOTUS, probably because of the Wisconsin ruling.

Sigh, hopefully it won't get taken up.

@realDonaldTrump

“I REALLY DON’T CARE, DO U?” written on the back of Melania’s jacket, refers to the Fake News Media. Melania has learned how dishonest they are, and she truly no longer cares!

The FAKE NEWS MEDIA reported there wasn't because they're disgusting, sad liars.

Thankfully Mr. Trump has his Twitter feed to speak truth directly to the American people.

Editing my initial reaction because after 30 seconds of thought, I’ve got to think Melania did this with both eyes open in an attempt to undermine her husband because she hates him.

Here is my hot take upon further consideration: this is pretty clearly a quote from Dumb Don that Melania threw back in his face for the whole world to see.
