If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Trump’s Gestapo needs five people to arrest an itty-bitty female college student I didn’t see any identifying markers/badges All of the agents cover their faces so we can’t find out who they are In other countries, they would call this “the secret police”

Important: They're now trying to deport another student, 21-year-old Yunseo Chung, a legal permanent resident, under the statute authorizing SecState to remove people deemed threat. She's lived here since childhood. Rubio is at the center of many of Trump's most lawless and destructive actions.

Pete Hegseth, three days ago: "Under the previous administration we looked like fools. Not anymore.” Carve it into his career headstone.

"I don't know anything about it" In a functioning democracy, Hegseth would resign and Trump would be impeached over this. OVER JUST THIS.

Hey, journalists: in light of Musk's role in the Trump administration, I think we can safely dismiss any RW complaints about Soros going forward, yeah? Clearly they have no real objections to billionaires involving themselves in politics. OK? You don't have to take that one seriously any more!

New in PN: Trump's hostile takeover of big law "Paul, Weiss is now in the same boat as Columbia, constantly needing Trump's approval to stave off new shakedowns. But the administration, like any bully, will keep attacking & no acquiescence will be enough. That’s why bending the knee is a bad idea."

Trump is already defying the courts. He has no more right to defy a district court than the Supreme Court. Essentially saying all lower court rulings are optional for Trump is legally incorrect and irresponsible.

the endgame here is him withholding federal tax dollars from blue states entirely unless they let him personally rewrite all their laws it is the end of the “states’ rights” conservatives claimed to believe in so fervently in favor of absolute dictatorship

If you damage the businesses of the richest man in the world, his friend the President wants to put you in indentured servitude in another country. If you trash the Capitol to overturn the election, its pardons and praise.

The issue with people like Schumer and Carville is that they refuse to accept that politics is not the same as it was 20 years ago. They refuse to accept they are the remnants of a system that doesn’t exist anymore.

It is legal to criticize the president. It is legal to criticize the president's actions. It is legal to criticize the president's advisors. It is legal and patriotic and the blood of a healthy society to hold those in power accountable, and even to mock them. Remember it.

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.
