Homan is the most oafish person I have ever seen speak on behalf of the US government. It’s like every Disney villain came to life and joined the Trump administration.

BREAKING: ICE makes “major arrest” of foreign born activist who welcomed tired, poor, huddled masses of immigrants “yearning to be free”. ICE spokesman says such interference with the Agency’s effort to carry out Trump’s mass deportation agenda will not be tolerated.

The mind feels when you consider how different constitutional law could’ve been if there had been such a thing as ubiquitous handheld personal video recording and instant broadcasting devices in the 1800s.

They are creating violence where there is none because they require violence to justify tightening their grip.

Almost all testimony on the ground is that ICE (if they are indeed federal LE) began attacking bystanders whom they’d blocked with their vehicles unprovoked. They started arresting citizens who just happened to be there, recording what they were doing.

This administration IS brain cancer, so yeah, it kinda is controversial. Any attempt to cure brain cancer is taken as a personal affront to the pro-brain-rot crowd.

The longstanding mythology around the supposed protection of the Posse Comitatus Act bears no resemblance to the legal reality of a commander-in-Chief who has been completely immunized by the Supreme Court from all civil and criminal liability for official acts.

So they’re charging Kilmar Abrego Garcia for the incredibly serious crime of… carpooling to work. Awesome. Meanwhile, the insurrectionists get pardons and the family of a traitor gets $5 million of our money.

Anybody who has read Richard Evans’s Third Reich Trilogy will probably find it eerily familiar the way ICE waits for migrants outside their immigration court hearings and arrests them after the cases are dismissed. That’s what the Gestapo did for all the innocent people they wanted to send to camps.

IANAL but this seems like a massive loophole. Whenever a transaction would be otherwise illegal, file a lawsuit and settle. So, someone “sues” you for not being nice to them and you “settle” for $15 million. This is unrelated to the box truck full of cocaine you just parked at their warehouse.

One of the greatest things about America is how, in addition to making the most self-destructive policy decisions, it’s a place where people can collect anything they like. For example, some people collect rare automobiles to fill a “sprawling” garage and others collect spare change on the street.

Put the US Marshals directly under the control of the courts? Maybe it’s time to give John Roberts an army. I don’t love it, but I don’t not love it. Basically anyone would be better than Trump/Bondi. But SCOTUS could be dumb enough to say it’s unconstitutional, even it costs their lives.

One takeaway from @karenhao.bsky.social’s “Empire of AI” is that Sam Altman will say whatever he needs to get people to do what he wants, which is funny because you can ask ChatGPT “Tell me how the Prague Spring influenced sorghum yields in Zanzibar” and it’ll be like “Of Course! Great observation!”

Our treatment of undocumented migrants now has really strong echoes of some of the exact methods and procedures that came from the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850.

This is entirely based on a comment he made in an off-the-cuff press gaggle below a waiting helicopter. So this is how policy is made now. The word of the leader supersedes all written law.

Driving through WV on the hilltops you see parked tractor trailers with “TRUMP” painted on the side. I suppose making pro-cult billboards out of shipping containers is basically all you can do now since using them to transport imported goods isn’t much of an option anymore.

It’s hard to get across to anyone who doesn’t follow SCOTUS closely just how completely lawless they’ve become.
