Some would say "sneaky tactic" others would observe that odometer fraud is a federal felony. A creative prosecutor could probably tack on some conspiracy and mail or wire fraud charges too.

I've been screaming like my head is on fire for 30 years that this would happen if we let braindead conspiracy theories run rampant. Now these malevolent know-nothing assholes are in charge. Minnesota GOPers: you are an embarrasment on humanity.

This is a step beyond I got, but I believe it checks out. A (cis) lesbian cannot have any protections on the basis of her lesbian sexual orientation if she's discriminated against because her partner is a trans women, because the court has defined their relationship as a straight one.

Even if you (wrongly) believe that some immigrants lack due process rights, what’s to stop the government from claiming that you are an undocumented immigrant; removing you to El Salvador; citing an “administrative error”; and refusing to do anything to bring you back? The answer is due process.

Don't let this sort of thing become normalized. No criminal record. Married with a child. Complying with immigration bureaucracy. Agents wait outside his home. Smash his window while he calls his lawyer. Take him to an undisclosed location. This is Soviet secret police stuff. youtu.be/Bnlj-wSI4Bg

What a piece of garbage. Ukraine didn't start the war and Ukraine wants to buy missiles. Zelenskyy stated he wanted to purchase them explicitly. No wonder this idiot bankrupted a casino. "You can't just hope that someone let's you play blackjack!"

The entire POINT is to cultivate an obedient press and docile population that accepts accusations without pushback. The fact that the administration’s accusations are increasingly overtly ass-damp is a feature, not bug.

strong point here; even if you take as a given [DO NOT DO THIS] that there's 20m undocumented people in the US and we need to deport them, this is not actually deporting people, but instead sending them to a death camp in el salvador (at significantly higher expense) one wonders why they chose that

This picture may haunt me to the end of my days. It is an ICE agent taking an axe to the car window of an immigrant in New Bedford, MA. Not far from where I sit now. An immigrant with no criminal record was abducted by this smiling man. An axe taken to a car window and to our democracy. 1/ #MomSky

Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family. I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

Fitting the "gerontocracy is all of our problems" theme of the moment, the margin between elected republicans and democrats in the house is razor thin, but deaths and hospitalizations among the democrats artificially increase the GOP margin and will until those seats can be filled by younger reps.
