A MORAL CRISIS “The rule of law is being trampled. Innocent people are being disappeared. Court orders are being ignored. If you claim to love this country—if you believe in the Constitution, due process, order, and justice—this must be your line in the sand.” Take 3 minutes. This is important.

“It is evil. There is no moral system in the world that supports the arrest of a two-year-old and their deportation from a country in which they are citizens, no Western democracy in which judges are arrested for not bowing the knee to the presidential power.” open.substack.com/pub/franksch...

🚨New day, new horror. ICE deports two families, including 3 children that are US CITIZENS aged 2, 4 & 7. The families were snatched & blocked from communicating with attorneys/family. One mother is pregnant. One child has cancer & was deported without medication or any doctor support. INHUMANE.

Trump’s attacks on the press have already begun, with the president filing a number of baseless lawsuits against organizations like ABC and CBS, including a $20 billion lawsuit against CBS over how the network edited an interview with Kamala Harris last year on 60 Minutes.

Just imagine if Joe Biden had officially declared the January 6 insurrectionists were terrorists and threatened to send them to jail in El Salvador Started arresting the Steve Bannons and Tucker Carlsons of the world for criticizing this And sued Fox News to keep Hannity from talking about it

This is actually worse than it looks. There was room for 700 people, you had to be a resident of the district and could only sign up a certain amount of people per family. Byron pre-screened the audience in deep red Lee County and this is still what he got. Angry constituents.

Two important points here: The cancellation of awards at odds with the administration's priorities appears to violate a court order Many of the awards cancelled were on Ted Cruz's list of "questionable projects". We are replacing scientific peer review with disingenuous hacks.

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

Thinking of our military members & intel officers who have to serve under the reckless & incompetent Pete Hegseth. They deserve better. Sharing war plans in a Signal chat w/ his brother & wife? This is a nat’l security crisis not just a headline. As I’ve said before—how many more chats are there?

But also this isn’t going to make them leave you alone. It’s just going to make them come after that new agenda, until there’s nothing at all. It’s like people have never met a bully or read a history book.

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me
