Now Stephen Miller is talking constitutional rubbish about a supposed presidential power to suspend habeas corpus to get back at federal courts that displease Trump too much.

Trump’s push to send “the worst of the worst” to El Salvador is ready America for US citizens to be shipped abroad. Not just prisoners, but eventually protesters. Not just protesters, but eventually anyone who he sees as opposition.

Raskin: He destroyed more than $10 trillion in American wealth in a single week. And then he went golfing and bragged to America about winning the tournament at his own golf course. That's like bragging about being endorsed by your own campaign manager. So much winning
