Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

"The left went too far" in contemporary U.S. politics is almost always a lie and a very convenient way to rationalize moral failure. For example, "MeToo went too far" replaces "I do not care about sexual violence or its victims and I don't want to have to even feel bad about that"

Anti Sharia scare is back. Also some of the folks voted Trump and assumed the leopard wouldn't eat their face. A mess all around fueled by anti Muslim bigotry. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/u...

Sunday, April 13, 2025 Today missed being Easter by 22 minutes. Gregorian Calendar’s definition: First Sunday after the first Full Moon after the March Equinox. If the Full Moon had occurred 22 minutes earlier, landing yesterday (GMT), then today would have been that first Sunday.

A climate of hostility to the judiciary is one of the Trump Administration’s own creation. Why is the President acting against his own self-interest?

There is no way what just happened with Apple isn’t coordinated, extreme insider trading. Millions in call options hit the tape hours before news dropped that iPhones were exempt from tariffs. I’m writing quickly to explain why. This is brazen corruption from the White House.

Last night at the Governor’s Residence, we experienced an attack not just on our family, but on the entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This kind of violence has become far too common in our society, and it has to stop.

During Passover as well. Waiting for more facts but seems like a deliberate, intentional hate attack.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

🚨‼️WTF is wrong with people?🚨‼️ An arsonist set fire to Governor Shapiro’s residence while inside his home. Thankfully, PFD woke him and his family up after they banged on the door. The Pennsylvania democrat was NOT injured nor his family. Thank God‼️🙏🙏 I believe they have suspect in custody.

Legal experts say states could help married women who have changed their last names by accepting documents like a legal decree or a marriage certificate, but it might not fix the issue for all.

Forget about the legal case. A man was wrongly deported and placed in a notorious prison with leaders of a gang out to get him. Anyone with an ounce of basic human decency would fix the mistake and return that man to the United States

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.
