My guess is Steven Cheung is the architect of these campaigns. He’s the White House Communications Director and this sort of political chum seems right up his alley.

“… In response to questions about online criticism that calls the posts racist, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson asked a Times reporter in an email to “explain how deporting illegal aliens is racist.”
She also said in a statement: “We won’t stop celebrating the Trump Administration’s many wins via banger memes on social media. Stay mad.” …”
'Stay mad.' Amid immigration raids, Epstein rumors, Trump team ramps up its trolling

When were you in a room with Bove? Also, is it pronounced Bohv or Bo-vay?

It’s governance by trolling.
What a shithole country we’ve become. Banana republic dictators would be embarrassed for us.

Tennessee school won’t accept doctor’s notes for absences
The policy will also count kids as tardy if they are sent home by the school nurse when they are sick.
thehill.com
So after 8 absences, court referral happens... No matter the reason
So kids who get the flu or covid and then maybe have a cold later in the winter will easily rack that up
Lots of court fun coming for that county

That second tweet from Homeland Security about liberals is classic conservative projection. Everything written there about liberals actually applies to conservatives perfectly.

Who wouldn't want to bring a child into this world with Dear Leader and his party in charge of things? I know the birthrate has been declining for a good while for many reasons, but I can't imagine that many people looking around at America today feel good about the nation's future. I mean, just look at all of these wonderful memes just put out by our government! We now have government by trolling, the gutting of science and medicine and the social safety net, ever-increasing attacks on public ed, and an economy that is less and less friendly to middle-class people, much less those lower on the economic ladder, and with the exploding growth of AI many white-collar jobs will likely be in jeopardy pretty soon. Add in right-wing efforts to take away women's rights and the growing signs that we're moving towards an authoritarian state and that's not going to encourage most people to have kids.
But hey, the GOP is giving couples a little money off their taxes for every kid they have, so that'll surely do the trick!

Nope, they just straight up say they think kids should learn to go to school sick because they expect adults to go to work sick. I'm always amazed at school boards who show any distinct lack of evidence that they were intelligent enough to graduate HS themselves.
Of course, once it gets to the court system, the traditional inequalities will show themselves and the families with means will be fine and the families from marginalized communities will be further marginalized.
