“The most heartening, and maybe most important, event of the Trump Administration so far arrived just after 1 A.M., on Saturday, in the form of an unsigned order from the Supreme Court,” Ruth Marcus writes. Will the Justices continue to stand up to Trump?

My response to Trump’s remarks in the Capitol Visitor’s Center:

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

The wife of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the man who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador, spoke about her husband’s deportation ahead of a hearing about the prospect of returning Garcia to the U.S.

"If you want to shout and chant, we will have you removed just like that man was thrown out.”

If this is how incompetent the resistance is, it is no wonder they are losing.

Merwil Gutiérrez, whose family opened an asylum case after arriving in the US, was deported from New York to the notorious Cecot prison in El Salvador despite his relatives’ insistence that he has no gang ties or criminal history, according to Documented.

Retooling the abandoned Stellantis plant in Canada to build Canadian-designed electric cars and trucks would be a massive and expensive undertaking, likely costing $1.5–2 billion or more. Let's do it anyway. We spent more for a pipeline. Also, let's make sure the workers own it.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the Nation wide protest on the 19th will be a dress rehearsal for Trumps declaring Martial Law. Somehow he will make this the reason. They will try tio incite violence so they can justify the act. Pls everyone, be mindful of this. watch 4 agitators, plants. Try to

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

1. One is arguably a threat to free speech, the other a clear threat to free press. 2. They were both put equally with each other in the very 1st Amendment for a reason. 3. JD has spent 90% of his time as VP as a social media troll.

Study I am reading: "One-sided messages that use irony to deride those who believe that climate change is a hoax raises belief certainty in and perceived risk of climate change for those who do not already believe climate change is an important issue."
