They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

What has happened today from both DOD and DHS absolutely is further advancing the position I laid out at Law Dork over the weekend.
The Trump administration's lawlessness is front and center, on multiple fronts
The response to the shooting of two National Guard troops, reporting on the boat-strike murders, and the continued contempt inquiry keep Trump's lawlessness in the news.

Since 2000, political donations from the richest 100 Americans have increased nearly 140x.
They collectively spent over $1B in 2024, amounting to 1 in every 13 dollars spent during the election.
Is it any wonder why so many regular people feel like they no longer have a voice?

The vicious cycle of monopolization:
1) Corporations argue that their growth is just part of the free market.
2) Use their monopoly power to gouge consumers.
3) Take a portion of their profits to make political donations.
4) Lobby against antitrust enforcement.
