Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

It's not the biggest problem the party faces, but Democrats need to get over the tendency to look at obviously sociopathic and unprincipled elected officials and say "I may not agree with him on everything, but he is good at his job." Mostly because those guys also ALWAYS suck at their jobs.

AOC was right. It's probably the right time for a lot of people to start entering the fray and running establishment Dems out of office.

A Supreme Court Justice who rules that President Biden can’t forgive student loan debt without an act of Congress, and rules that President Trump and Not An Official Position Musk can cancel any Congressionally-enacted spending they personally dislike, that Justice clearly isn’t ruling based on law.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

The most corrupt administration in US history illegally fired thousands of @markwarner.bsky.social’s constituents, but he’s on Fox News talking about the value of civility. A truly reprehensible abdication of responsibility, leadership and values!

No one in DC can bargain in good faith with Trump because he will not follow laws passed by Congress. No one internationally can bargain in good faith with Trump because he will not respect agreements made by the United States. Being a counterparty just makes you a target for another shakedown.

Playbook aims to set the tone for D.C. coverage. So it's fascinating to see how they're framing their reporting -- and how different it is from their coverage of the prior administration.

@fetterman.senate.gov DJT's Attorney General, Pam Bondi, named Kathy Hochul and Letitia James in civil charges she's filed. This is REAL weaponization. You were the ONLY Democrat who voted to confirm her and for this corruption. Shame on you! Trump, Bondi, and Fetterman have got to go.

Trump is blocking the Associated Press from the Oval Office. Rather than stand up for freedom of the press, the rest of legacy media is taking advantage of AP's absence. When this inevitably leads to AP cutbacks, the same legacy media will lament the plight of media decline.

This is not a U.S. Marshal, Federal Protective Service, or any other federal law enforcement officer. This is a private security guard from Triple Canopy. He has no authority to block members of Congress who have oversight of the EPA from entering the building.

"I was a heroin addict for 14 years," RFK Jr just now in his bid to be confirmed as Secretary of HHS. Imagine a person of color or a woman saying that and people shrugging it off as cool. That is 100% pure uncut white male privilege right there.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Let’s play around with cosmic distances shall we? Because I don’t think the human brain can actually understand it. But I’m gonna use rice, and say 1 grain = 10,000 miles (~16,000 km). That means the circumference of Earth is just under two and a half grains. These contain all our lives 🧪🔭 (1/n)

"your validity is not dictated by an executive order" is probably a reassuring sentiment for people whose needs begin and end at validity, but are unlikely to soothe people who need things like "legal protections" or "access to health care"
