The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution.
This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American.
They must be released immediately.

The President of the United States is essentially saying state agents were justified performing an extrajudicial execution because he kicked a government vehicle.

NEW: Trump and his two eldest sons sued the IRS for $10 billion of American taxpayers’ money over the leak of his tax returns during his first term.
The lawsuit raises the possibility that his political appointees in the IRS will have a hand in responding to the unprecedented move.

50 years ago in Buckley v. Valeo, the Supreme Court concluded that campaign spending equates to free speech.
This led to Citizens United and billions in dark money flooding elections—making it clear that only the ultra-wealthy can fully exercise this form of "free speech."

Abolish ICE is the moderate position.
This is a funny looking deescalation. Sure looks like they're ramping up their capacity to arrest, detain, deport, and terrorize Americans exercising their constitutional rights. Should Senate Dems give the regime the benefit of the doubt and agree to more funding for DHS?
BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps.
This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people.

While it is notable who among the originalist crowd has filed briefs backing Trump on birthright citizenship, it is a small number and it's interesting to see how many haven't. Briefs on the other side haven't been filed yet -- will any of them show up there?
very odd* that originalists' professed commitments to history and nonpartisanship haven't stopped them from championing Trump’s assault on birthright citizenship, the historical foundation of multiracial democracy in the United States !
