Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

I'm seeing that Trump is saying the relief afforded smart phones, routers, and chips will be short-lived. It would be nice if Trump could act rationally and consistently. Because the first one isn't going to happen, I'd be grudgingly appreciative for even "consistently."

3 facts that should drive the news: 1) DOGE has committed, rather than found, fraud. 2) A bunch of antisemites are using a claim to police antisemitism to take over universities. 3) In spite of claims they're cracking down on China, Trump's FP & financial policies have vastly helped China.

I would like to point out that the executive branch claiming the power to mete out life/death sentences seems like a separation of powers issue as well

The principle at stake here is so fundamental it predates even Magna Carta in English law, and before that stretching all the way back to Rome, and has its similarly ancient equivalents in every legal system in the world, because it's the inherent bedrock foundation of what courts and laws are for.
