They don’t seem to apply to families.
At the Detroit Free-Press, Debbie Dingell, who represents Michigan’s Sixth Congressional District, looks at the harm the Trump maladministration is doing to Americans’ health and health care. A snippet:
An estimated 17 million people could lose their health care as a direct result. And premiums for everyone will go up. Without enhanced premium tax credits for ACA marketplace plans, more healthy people will drop coverage, making the risk pool sicker on average and more expensive to insure.

Per an article by Mario Nicolais at The Colorado Sun, it would appear that lying about one’s family is a Republican family value.
“History Does Not Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes”* 0
Robert Reich looks how the Trump maladministration maladministrates and hears a rhyme from a long time ago:
“His Ministers, generals, mistresses, and courtiers soon found out his weak point, namely, his love of hearing his own praises. There was nothing he liked so much as flattery, or, to put it more plainly, adulation; the coarser and clumsier it was, the more he relished it. That was the only way to approach him; if he ever took a liking to a man it was invariably due to some lucky stroke of flattery in the first instance, and to indefatigable perseverance in the same line afterwards.”

“In the LLM world, attempts to ‘un-wokeify’ LLMs have literally produced an AI that named itself MechaHitler,” he said. “This isn’t just a problem in how LLMs are constructed – it’s actually a problem in how humans have constructed ‘truth’ and ideology, and it’s not one that AI is going to fix.”

. . . and taking historical fact into custody.
After all, why tell truthful history when you can pretend that your country never did those things that it did?
Today’s Republican Party is a vile and loathsome thing.

A Notion of Immigrants 0
Sam and the crew justifiably deride Tom Homan’s lamer attempts to justify ICE’s violations of the law, due process, and the Constitution.
(Warning: The last minute or so devolves into Sam stupidly making fun of Tom Homan’s speaking patterns. It’s so stupid I considered not using the video. Nevertheless, I think the larger point about the sophistries, misrepresentations, and lies used by the Trump maladministration to justify putting persons in concentration camps for being brown outweigh the stupid, so instead I’ll suggest that you hit stop when that silliness starts and forgive Sam for his lapse of judgment.)
A Notion of Immigrants 0
Afterthought:
It’s amazing and appalling that the racism of the Trump maladministration’s crackdown on rendition of immigrants to concentration camps is not getting the notice it deserves.
As David Ferguson points out on the Bob Cesca Show, they’re targeting anyoone whose skin is darker than a brown paper bag.
