The government can arrest and charge migrants with crimes based on evidence within the criminal justice system. It can deport people within a robust, lawful immigration system. It cannot arrest, deport and imprison people in a foreign prison with no due process. Due process.

Looking forward to Chief Justice Roberts saying absolutely nothing about the Secretary of State, at a Cabinet meeting with the President next to him, remarking—unprompted—that the federal judiciary is beneath him and he will not comply with their rulings.

Harvard just handed all school and disciplinary records of international students to DHS. Absolutely contemptible. They're putting their own students in danger and lying by telling them that everything is ok. These students could be black bagged to Louisiana or El Salvador after this.

Look, I know your first instinct might be to be weirded out and disgusted by the the fact that a leading Democrat is lending legitimacy to the wannabe-dictator's propaganda shows while his regime is dismantling the constitution - but hear me out... No, actually, you got that exactly right.

Correct. Democrats let Reagan and Bush get away with literal murder and these days they actually praise those pieces of shit. The same will happen with Trump if we continue to elevate people with this weak shit mindset.

This exchange is so very telling. Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this: "I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

Should blue states keep merrily sending on their tax dollars to Washington for Trump to use as a weapon against them? Seems like an easy question. If Trump won't play by the rules, we need new ones. The RECOURSE Act should be law in New York - and it should be introduced everywhere. Action page:

Dead serious about this: Democrats should start publicly building the case that Melania Trump and Elon Musk both obtained citizenship fraudulently. Promise to strip it and deport them once it's proven during the next Democratic administration. Put the White House on the defensive.
