I went to the Homestead detention center to see firsthand the horror of Trumpâs family separation policy and was denied entry.
Under the Harris Administration, I will end all for-profit detention centers and ensure kids are where they belong, with their families. https://t.co/5k1bckQ6P3
President Biden just announced his plans to reopen Homestead â a jail for migrant children with a notorious history of abuse. The broken promises of the Biden administration are piling up. THREAD: https://t.co/X2jZgLWUhg
“Psaki On Biden Keeping Migrant Kids In âContainersâ Versus âCagesâ: âWe Only Have A Couple Of Choicesâ
“White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki avoided directly answering multiple questions from Fox News reporter Peter Doocy on Wednesday afternoon about the Biden administrationâs decision to open detention facilities for children apprehended at the U.S. border while trying to enter the country.
âWeâve seen some photos now of containers. Is there a better description?â Doocy asked. âIs it kids in containers instead of kids in cages? What is the the White Houseâs description of this facility?â
âWell, let me give a broader description of whatâs happening here,â she responded. âWe have a number of unaccompanied minors, children who are coming into the country without their families, what we are not doing, what the last administration did, was separate those kids, rip them from the arms of their parents at the border, we are not doing that. That is immoral. And that is not the approach of this administration. These kids, we have a couple of options, we can send them back home and do a dangerous journey back, we are not doing that either. That is also putting them at risk.â”

Yeah so we let them stay with the unrelated and often abusive coyote human smuggler instead. That sounds so much safer for the kids. The only ones separated under Trump were ones where family ties with their escorts was in question. But they know this.
“Every slander media flung at Floridaâs DeSantis was true of Cuomo”
“Throughout the pandemic, the media have been excoriatingly harsh on a governor who was slow to act, unnecessarily endangered the lives of the elderly, alienated experts and cooked the numbers.
They just thought the governor in question was Floridaâs Ron DeSantis, rather than New Yorkâs Andrew Cuomo.
After it has become clear that Cuomoâs handling of the pandemic was not just criminal in the metaphorical sense, but perhaps in the literal sense, the press has begun, only reluctantly and belatedly, to abandon its long-running Cuomo hagiography.
It never made any sense to lionize Cuomo at the expense of DeSantis, except that one had a âDâ after his name, and the other didnât, and one hated President Donald Trump, and the other didnât. The national media also labor under the assumption that New York must be competent, while the Sunshine State is the preserve of the embarrassingly boorish âFlorida Man.â
Finally, the media loved the way Cuomo talked about the pandemic at his take-charge news conferences. This was taken as the opposite of Trumpâs approach, which it was â Cuomo talked a good game, while utterly botching the substance of the response, while Trump talked irresponsibly about the pandemic, while handling the substance pretty well (or, certainly, not as badly as advertised).
All this meant that the press made both Cuomo and DeSantis into something they werenât â a hero and a villain, respectively â when it should have been obvious all along that this wasnât remotely justified.
From the outset of the pandemic, New York has had the highest number of deaths of any state and still does (47,000), and the second-highest deaths-per-million of anywhere in the country. In contrast, Florida is right around the national average for deaths-per-million. Journalists brushed right by these top-line numbers in the interest of their tendentious narrative-building.
They erupted in outrage when DeSantis was allegedly slow to close the beaches last March, but they didnât dwell much on Cuomo saying, when the virus was already spreading throughout his state, âThe facts defeat fear. Because the reality is reassuring.â
They accused DeSantis of unnecessarily endangering seniors, when the Florida governor took steps to protect the nursing homes, and Cuomo, infamously, ordered nursing homes to accept COVID patients.
They claimed DeSantis was rejecting the âscienceâ by, among other things, pushing to reopen the schools, an approach that has proved out. Meanwhile, experts have fled the New York public-health bureaucracy in response to Cuomoâs high-handedness.
They bought the bogus story of a Florida data manager who was supposedly persecuted for blowing the whistle on the stateâs manipulation of its COVID numbers, when, of course, this is exactly what Cuomo was doing.
And so the mediaâs anointed hero of the pandemic â who wrote a book on his own exemplary pandemic response, who won an Emmy, who was elevated to an authority with the standing to comment on how the country was handling the novel coronavirus â is facing calls to resign or face impeachment and is the subject of multiple investigations, while his routine bullying of critics is now out in the open.
Not only are none of these things happening to DeSantis, his policy of avoiding strict lockdowns, which occasioned so much criticism, has avoided the educational and economic downsides of Cuomoâs approach. “
“President Joe Biden revoked seven executive orders on Feb. 24 issued by President Donald Trump between 2017 and 2021. The White House offered no explanation for the revocation in its formal press release.
Bidenâs action revoked one of the first executive actions Trump signed upon taking officeâan executive order titled Core Principles for Regulating the United States Financial System. The order set out the Trump administrationâs policy on financial regulation, with the first listed goal to âempower Americans to make independent financial decisions and informed choices in the marketplace, save for retirement, and build individual wealth.â
The policy also sought to âprevent taxpayer-funded bailoutsâ and to âenable American companies to be competitive with foreign firms in domestic and foreign markets,â among other priorities.
Biden also sacked an April 2018 executive order titled âReducing Poverty in America by Promoting Opportunity and Economic Mobility.â Trumpâs order directed the federal government to reform the welfare system around a set of core principles, including improving economic independence, targeting benefits for people with low incomes, and reducing âwasteful spending by consolidating or eliminating federal programs that are duplicative or ineffective.â
The Biden administration also axed a presidential memo that unshackled the Department of Defense from collective bargaining constraints in order to give the military maximum flexibility âto cultivate a lethal, agile force adaptive to new technologies and posture changes.â
The list of revocations also includes a COVID-19 executive order Trump issued that directed federal agencies to address the economic repercussions of the pandemic by ârescinding, modifying, waiving, or providing exemptions from regulationsâ which could imperil economic recovery. Another canceled Trump memorandum had directed the federal government to review funding for localities like Seattle, which took a lax stance on anarchy and riots during the summer and fall of 2020.”
