AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

It's not that China is inherently the stronger or more resilient economy. China has been preparing for an economic showdown with the US for 10 years. Meanwhile, the US government didn't know what it's opening salvo would be two hours before Trump fired it.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Trump has diverted media attention from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to his fake "peace" process. In fact, American weakness enables Russian aggression as a new offensive looms. Useful corrective here. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring all removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.

Your regular reminder that almost everything Trump is getting away with is not because of presidential strength, but because of congressional weakness and judicial deference. The constitutional tools are already there to fix this, but those who can fix it are refusing to do so.

In an otherwise solid BBC report on reactions to Russia's attack on Sumy, Russian zombie propaganda lingers on: "Russia then annexed the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea & backed insurgents in bloody fighting in eastern Ukraine". No, Russian irregular forces then intervened covertly in Eastern Ukraine.

MILLER: “A DOJ lawyer, who has since been relieved of duty, a saboteur, a Democrat, put into a filing that this was a mistaken removal. It was not.” Astonishing stuff — DOJ conceded even to SCOTUS that the deportation was “administrative error.” Is Trump’s Solicitor General also a saboteur?
