They are snatching people off the street and sending them away to brutal prisons in foreign lands with zero due process - and they won't even bring them back when they realize a mistake was made. That's frightening stuff for any American who actually loves their country. #StopTrumpsTerror

Senator Jim Banks (R) isn’t sorry he told a fired federal worker “he probably deserved it”. He went on to say the worker was “complaining about losing a left-wing woke job in the federal government that should have never been a job to begin with”. The job was helping people with disabilities.

Reminder: Dr. Oz had to pay $5.25 million to settle a class action suit for promoting phony weight loss cures. He is a conman. No wonder Trump likes him. Now he's in charge of running Medicare and Medicaid.

The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969. One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.

This morning, Trump issued a threatening post against a federal judge who's trying to constrain him. It's part of an increasing attempt to threaten judges with violence. Trump is descending even further into dictatorship. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-further-descent-into-dictatorship
