Why do Republicans care about the border? It is a simple question with a simple answer: it is a mess. But for MSNBC’s Ali Velshi, who had guest hosting duties for Wednesday’s Alex Wagner Tonight, it is because “they want to let fewer brown people in” and any measures to address the issue prove that “the cruelty is the point.”

A new ICE report released on Friday revealed a whopping 6.2 million migrants have been released from federal custody, but ABC’s Good Morning America on Saturday acted as if the true hardship was the few thousand migrants recently bused to New York City, twice conveying the Democratic spin that Texas Governor Greg Abbott was guilty of “cruel and inhumane politics.”

After years of delay, the notoriously risk-averse Supreme Court will finally decide whether states have the right to protect free speech from Big Tech’s authoritarian censors.

A segment on the supposedly “inhumane treatment” of would-be migrants along the Texas-Mexico border under Republican Gov.

Underlining the notion that's there is not much difference between MSNBC and NPR, leftist Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) appeared on The Reidout and on NPR's Morning Edition on Monday.
