Also a useful reminder that some asylum applications–7,231 thru the 3d quarter of the 2026 Fiscal year–are still being granted under Trump. https://t.co/KmVox915Cy That’s way down from Biden, and most are rejected, but it’s not like the door has slammed shut on legit claims. https://t.co/ndJ5f0Pgpt

It’s not just Dems blocking judges and Trump’s agenda. The agenda will change. Trump will immediately start thinking of deals he could cut with Dems, and #1 is the big AMNESTY for illegals he’s been talking about for years. Trump might see it as burnishing and softening his https://t.co/lAZJaJvNTu
