And the fact that this hasnā€™t immediately ended this presidency is why none of us can seriously believe with certainty that the 2026/28 elections will be free, fair, & competitive. If šŸ‘‡ goes unpunished, there is literally nothing a president cannot do.

Weā€™re fighting antisemitism on college campuses. Thatā€™s why we pulled Holocaust history from the library of the Naval Academy but left two copies of Mein Kampf.

Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but itā€™s extremely important: Heā€™s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants ā€œwould have trespassed on a military installation,ā€ resulting in harsher punishment.

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

Raskin: If they can just sweep someone off the street, put them on an airplane, and send them to a torturerā€™s prison in an authoritarian state like El Salvador without due processā€¦ then they could do it to anybody.

Adolf Hitler's ā€œMein Kampfā€ is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. ā€œI Know Why the Caged Bird Singsā€ and ā€œMemorializing the Holocaustā€ are not. An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegsethā€™s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism ā€” but preserved volumes defending white power.
