This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.

Perry: "I agree with you about the seriousness of threats, generally, across the United States right now. I don't think there's a single public servant, really, who is not being subject to threats.

Yes, if everyone must defer to the president's lies, that is an unrestricted dictatorship.

If "that's just not true" has zero sway, then non-emergencies permit emergency powers, nonviolent actions permit war powers, and any behavior the president doesn't like is an act of war, permitting anything.

So the Administration is arguing there’s no actual threshold for dictatorial power besides the willingness to lie. You don’t have to demonstrate literally anything, just be willing to say it.

You must defer to the president’s determination that there is an armed rebellion in Chicago, argues the govt’s lawyer.

That’s the Trump admin’s stance on everything. When the law doesn’t allow it, lie about the facts until it’s something that would be legal, then insist others live inside the lie.

It’s quite the loophole. A get out of laws free card.

Murder is illegal, but logging is not. So Trump says that person is a tree. Voila, killing is legal.

Sound absurd? Real claims include:

Unarmed migrants are invading foreign soldiers.
Drugs are military arms.
Peaceful expression is rebellion.

Almost 60% of the world's electrolyzers are produced by Chinese factories, and they're getting better in terms of cost and build quality.

Trump’s Hydrogen Cuts Put the US Further Behind China on Key Green Tech

China already produces 60% of the world’s electrolyzers, and it continues to provide policy support to bring down the costs of the clean fuel.

Passion of the Christ III: Jesus, wounded, finds himself nursed back to health by a kindly Italian doctor, and ingratiates himself with the villagers. He ends up saving the idyllic seaside town from the mafia, eventually killing his way up to the boss.

So yesterday a reporter asked Donald Trump about the writ of habeas corpus, and he had no idea what it was.

"I don't know," he said. "I'd rather leave that to Kristi."

Well, It turns out Sen. Hassan asked Kristi Noem about it in May, and this was Noem's response:

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · May 20

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect

No clearer indication of the right’s moral rot than the swift evolution from angrily denying any association with buffoonish bigots like like Posobiec and Fuentes, to “there’s no harm in having a conversation,” to openly praising and promoting them.

Not the least surprised by this. I’d hope it might finally wake up some mainstream libertarians to what Smith is really about. But it probably won’t.

Trump looks physically worse by the day.

What I’m really interested in is the relationship between Vance and Miller.

If Vance becomes the President, does Miller continue to dictate policy or is he out?

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.
