Jfc. Legal permanent resident sent to a country she’s never been to and doesn’t speak the language based on “all Asians are the same right?!?” dumbassery, having smoked pot, and bad legal advice. And they’re withholding the meds she needs.

Absolute Power and the trickledown of its absolute corruption. Are we ready to start upending the chairs upon which the Regime sits? “We the People” have been tagged. We are it. We are the the People’s Army. Time to get together and fight! #MomSky #Resist #FightFascism

President Trump's attempt to fire the Democratic members of the #FederalTradeCommission today is outrageous. The FTC is now the latest agency to see its Dem commissioners fired without cause, joining the Privacy & Civil Liberties Oversight Board, EEOC, Federal Election Commission, NLRB & more.

Trump can't process this. In his world, people are either Loyal or Disloyal. To him, personally, no matter what the issue is. And it's one-way. Roberts has a concept of "with you on this, but not that" and of "this far, but no farther." Trump literally can't understand those.

The thing is, I think he can get the House to vote to impeach. Which means Boasberg will have to be tried in the Senate ... where there is zero chance for conviction. But doing that will permanently alienate ACB and the Chief. Thank Goodness!

Josh Marshall makes the point that they're deliberately being arbitrary, to scare non-citizens into self-deporting. They lack the infrastructure to deport millions, so they're going to try state sponsored terror.
