In short, no. A slightly longer answer: Yes, only if we change what it means to be a virtuous man.

I say this having studied the man as one of his biographers for a decade. The force with which an institution must hit Trump for him to even notice the _possibility_ that hitting back with equal force might not be possible/advisable is so great it’s likely harder than SCOTUS has ever hit a litigant.

Abrego Garcia's attorneys note that sending additional people to CECOT—as the US apparently did on Saturday—involved exactly the same tasks that the govt claims are impossible (or not subject to court order) in Abrego Garcia's case

I am just imagining Stephen King with a folder on his computer with “Research: Street Corn” for his upcoming novel where people eat elotes and get visions of the apocalypse Like, my guy… It’s the equivalent of putting Old Bay on corn. My street vendor sells elotes in Discovery Green all the time.

I'll at least tell you the tip of the iceberg. The prisons in El Salvador are currently at 163% capacity. In a number of them, prisoners have to take turns sitting and standing because there is literally no room to move. These prisoners will be in those conditions for years and years. It is torture.

Since Gov. Hot Wheels delayed an election for a new representative… I currently have no House rep in my area of town. I’ll pay in my own way, but not like this.

One of my best friends works for this company, but she was chased out of Texas due to radical state policies regarding women’s health.
