The disappearing of Mahmoud Khalil, a person with permanent legal status in the US, should be a red line that everyone should recognize. They knocked on his door and vanished him into an authoritarian system without a trace. Your door could be next. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/so-it-begi...

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it.
