"the state can just summarily imprison someone without filing charges or holding a trial" doesn't just overturn democracy it overturns 1000 years of common law, like throwing out the entire legal system entirely and saying all people in America are the state's property.

Seeing way too many people suggest that if Trump decides to do this, then "nothing can stop him." That's both legally false and defeatist. Once we're talking real tyranny, which this would be, then certain constitutional remedies open up. The Founding Fathers knew this would happen.

One of the things that has kept America stable so long is that each new wave of immigration has brought with it recent lived experience of societal collapse, in its absence in the US. Every generation of my father’s family saw its government collapse or be overthrown, for four generations. 1/3

One of the problems with the Trump regime is that they are so evil that they do a hundred evil things a day and so it all melts together for regular people. It’s uncomfortable to exclude other travesties in favor of one, but this is the one we should choose.

We have the most anti-free speech government in modern American history. (And yet, in true Orwellian fashion, they claim to be champions of free speech.)

So all the White House political reporters are spending the weekend getting up to speed on the Abrego Garcia case and litigation related to the gulag in El Salvador so that they can prep good questions for Bukele’s visit on Monday, right? Right????????

The chickens haven't really come home to roost yet (everything is about to double in price, tourists will no longer come to the U.S., much worse unintended consequences we don't have the imagination to conceive of) and people fucking hate this shit, generally loathe what's going on. Go on offense.

We should not underestimate the damage caused by having a third of the country listening to propaganda and lies for hours a day. IDK how we solve this problem with our first amendment, other than universally mocking anyone who watches Fox. We have a world of facts and one of "alternate facts."

Hey, @schumer.senate.gov :: you better not be playing cute with your language about stopping the SAVE Act. I hope you intend to VOTE NO ON CLOTURE, as opposed to what you did with the CR when you told us you'd vote no on the bill, but still voted YES on cloture. We are in no mood for games.

May I humbly suggest a question to anyone in media able to pose one directly to Trump? Do you think your supporters are any less likely to get cancer or Alzheimer's or heart disease?

Wow. This is from a Trump II State Dept appointee, Tibor Nagy, unloading on the DOGE shitshow as a "stage production which combined elements of a tragicomedy with the Twilight Zone." Again, this is a Trump guy talking. www.lubbockonline.com/story/opinio...

As a 20 year communications professional I’d like to offer Democrats my most sophisticated advice: While Trump is punching himself in the nuts, you could choose to 1. Also punch him in the nuts; or 2. Punch yourself in the nuts. I strongly advise number 1.

Susman Godfrey, Chris Krebs, Miles Taylor, the president is openly targeting his political enemies with what his party once projected and called ‘lawfare’. It’s openly authoritarian. And we can’t say we weren’t warned. This is what fascism looks like.
