Melania: value children. AG Sessions: rip immigrant children from their parents' arms.

Rachel Maddow is covering the disparate policies announced only one hour apart.

RM seems sympathetic to Melania as her gandlers screw up the Be Best rollout with the reissue of the pamphlet on teaching kids about online safety.

She is a female and had a kid. We have no idea how much she leans on paid help to do the real work of motherhood. Has she worried about affording a doctor when her kid was sick with a fever? Has she tried to stretch $150 over the whole week and run out of food or toilet paper? Has she lost a job because the car broke down and she couldn't get to work? Has she faced an angry boss because her childcare fell through?

Yes, she is female and she birthed a kid. We all know that doesn't make her a mom to admire. Geeez

She lists cyberbullying to get a jab at her bullying husband. She will do the minimum, declare Mission Accomplished, and go back to her shopping, spas, etc.

I don't doubt how much she loves her son, but yeah, I'm certain there were plenty of nannies and nurses. I have doubts that she ever lost her beauty sleep when her child was sick.

All talk and no action. She said she was going to take up this cause a year ago and - nothing. I doubt she gets out of bed much unless she's needed for a photo appearance with Spanky.
