It's Adam Schiff's birthday today and his staff got him "liddle" cupcakes 😂

I have a friend who went on a date and found out she was a Trump supporter. He said "I think we're done here!"

Ted Leiu played the propublica audio on the house floor until he was gaveled down today. I heart him so hard. I don't actually know the answer to this - is he considered a rising star in the Democratic party? If not, he should be.

I think he is getting more and more attention, unfortunately he's ineligible to run for president (if that's what you were thinking). In some ways though I think that frees him up to be more unabashedly aggressive.

But as long as it was just immigrants' lives he was ruining it was fine? I find I have very little sympathy. 😒 I have zero sympathy. Although I 'm curious what new stupid excuse they'll give when they vote for him again next time. Maybe they'll suprise me and just admit to being blatant racists.

Have we talked about this guy? If you’re in Jersey, please vote so this filth doesn’t get elected:
Apparently diversity leads to Muslims killing Christians and Kwanzaa was invented by black racists to divide America.

There’s a service station in my town that has had election signs for Trump Pence up since before the election. They just replaced one that was looking dirty with a Trump 2020 sign.
I know day to day is exhausting, but let’s keep our eyes on the 2018 and 2020 elections. That is how this is stopped. And call in the meantime.

ok, don't throw things at me but.....I'm unsettled by this. On its face it looks like a way that this company can help, and it's great that they want to help! But remember that 23andMe OWNS, forever and ever amen, any DNA submitted to them for the purpose of testing. So yeah, they're possibly helping reunite these kids with their families but they are also taking the DNA of minors, without the permission of the parents, which will provide a boon for their database and their services going forward. I hate to be cynical but if they were taking my kid's DNA without my knowledge I'd be angry.

Good ol' Twitter. Where I'm getting jumped at for saying I want some assurance that a corporation isn't exploiting children while they help reunite families. OMG HOW CAN YOU THINK OF TWO PROBLEMS AT ONCE OMG GET HEERRRRRRRRRRR

I hate to be cynical but if they were taking my kid's DNA without my knowledge I'd be angry. I totally get the concern and I would be wary of it as well. But if the alternative was never to find my kid? I think I’d rather they take my kid’s DNA. The ethical thing to do would be if they agreed to destroy the DNA sample (at least those of the kids) after the families have been reunited but I imagine 23andMe wouldn’t want to give that up.

Exactly. Just give me some assurance that you're not exploiting the kids. We can have both. We can walk and chew gum at the same time.

Because we all know some Heritage Foundation type group will try to buy the genetic data of migrants to explain some public health reason we can't let them in or something equally awful. "They're predisposed to diabetes and want our healthcare! Keep them out!"
