The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.
BREAKING:
“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “

I’m still thinking about Bari Weiss saying that Hasan Piker (extremely popular influencer) is less of a measure of where Americans are than Alan Dershowitz (extremely unpopular Epstein associate, his own neighbors won’t sell him a pierogi)

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth chastised Sen. Mark Kelly for incorrectly displaying his military uniform medals, not comprehending that photographs reverse images from left to right. Here’s what that says about Joe Biden’s cognitive state.

It says a lot about our country that the FBI had no interest in interviewing Brett Kavanaugh but wants to talk to Mark Kelly.

We now live in a country where a true, proven patriot like Senator/Veteran/Astronaut Mark Kelly has to defend himself against a bloated, babbling lunatic like President Bone Spurs and a drunken piece of garbage like Pete Hegseth.
Sen. Mark Kelly: “I’ve had a missile blow up next to my airplane. I’ve been nearly shot down multiple times. I’ve flown a rocket ship into space four times, built by the lowest bidder. I’m not going to be silenced by Donald Trump.”

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Donald Trump sent more money to bail out Argentina than it would have cost to extend the ACA tax credits for just 1 year.

Imagine being drunken frat boy Hegseth and being so envious of (and intimidated by) a decorated Veteran, former astronaut like Sen. Mark Kelly that you have to resort to this shit.
Just absolutely pathetic.
Hegseth is lower than worm sweat.

When you draw a platoon leader like Hegseth, it’s your worst nightmare. You just ride it out until he’s gone and gets replaced by someone who isn’t a complete jackass. Only a fool like Trump would put one of them in charge of the entire defense department.

Mark Kelly knows exactly what political violence looks like. The fact that the Pentagon is investigating him for urging troops to refuse illegal orders, even as Trump calls for political enemies to be punished, shows how dangerous this administration has become.
Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

No bailouts. The US should extort these companies when the crash happens so they get minimal compensation in return for nationalizing the entire panopticon industry and then destroying it once harvested for socially useful parts. It won’t happen but it should
