President Donald Trump’s executive order on voting, issued Tuesday, has caused alarm among voting rights advocates, who fear that the measure’s restrictions on mail voting and its attempt to impose proof of citizenship requirements could disenfranchise millions.

Elon Musk has been a walking SEC violation for a decade and no one cared. The entire Trump era could have been avoided if the US took white collar crime anywhere near as seriously as it does low level drug crime.

When ICE Administrator Homan says "We're not stopping. I don't care what the judges think." - that is exactly the evidence that I would want if I were bringing a contempt motion against him. The contempt is clear. I do not know what the court's response will be - and there are only bad choices.

This indicates deliberate intent to disobey court orders. US District Court Judge James Boasberg, who ordered the Trump Administration to halt deportation flights, should charge those who ignored his ruling with criminal contempt of court under Rule 42 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.

They claim they can snatch people up, put them on planes, and deport them to a country run by an authoritarian, where those people will be forced to work slave labor at an inhumane prison. All without due process, and in defiance of federal courts. The hypotheticals are over. This is the nightmare.
