As Trump weaponizes every part of the government against immigrants, he’s taking resources away from things that really matter. Crime prevention. Counterterrorism. Drug interdiction. All being ignored because Trump wants to vilify LEGAL immigrants and turn us against each other.

Know this: Every step Donald Trump takes is aimed at concentrating more power into his own hands. He seeks to humiliate opponents & eliminate alternative sources of public influence (the legal system, the universities, the media, and the cultural institutions).

"The administration is maintaining that it has the power to send armed agents of the state to grab someone off the street and then, without a shred of due process, deport them to a Gulag in a foreign country and leave them there forever." Adam Serwer, writing today in @theatlantic.com

Hours ago, @politico.com revealed that DOGE is working with DHS on automating mass deportation efforts — likely explaining why many US citizens, green card holders, and even a Canadian (in Canada) got threatening emails last night terminating “your parole” and telling them to leave the US in 7 days.

Murphy: When you see the 10-year bond exploding… when you see markets moving like a sine curve—that’s the opposite of stability. A strong dollar is in our national interest. What we’re seeing now is the opposite of that.

Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came. Why? Has the fear already taken hold?

While Cummins made $13 billion in profits over three years, they refuse to provide fair wages and job security to the workers of UAW 291 in Oshkosh, WI. This is corporate greed at its worst. Cummings: sit down and negotiate a fair contract with the union.

The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else. Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.

The President’s unprecedented Executive Order yesterday targeting Messrs. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor for nothing but the exercise of their First Amendment rights is the President’s most constitutionally corrupt Executive Order to date.
