“The American people seem to be realizing that the rhetoric of cowboy individualism is a very different thing than its reality. Trump’s poll numbers are dropping sharply.

Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor recently warned, if the administration can take noncitizens off the streets, render them to prison in another country, and then claim it is helpless to correct the error because the person is out of reach of U.S. jurisdiction, it could do the same thing to citizens.

Senators call for probe: “
"This sequence of events raises grave legal and ethics concerns. The President, his family, and his advisors are uniquely positioned to be privy to and take advantage of non-public information to inform their investment decisions," the senators said in their letter.”

Chris Hayes: Donald Trump knows exactly what he's doing by cozying up to Laura Loomer
Trump has always been an organizing force for some of the worst people in the country — and those people could soon find themselves in the White House.

As 30,000 people suffer with no power due to 20 tornado's hitting Arkansas yesterday & last night, Trump has left to go golfing & leaving Sarah Huckabee Sanders struggling WTF to do because FEMA has been all but been destroyed.

It never had to be this way. We had an opportunity to vote for Kamala Harris an intelligent and worthy leader who understood this stuff and wanted good things for our country but folks voted for an ignorant and evil orange monster instead. 💔 #Tariffs #JoyfulWarriors

#Tariffs

In a devastating blow to Team Trump the Senate just voted to CANCEL his tariffs on Canada by a vote of 51-48.

Four Republicans voted for the measure: Murkowski, McConnell, Paul & Collins all found their spines.

Trump has been checked by TWO branches of government.

“But if a #farm family voted for Trump, believing that his policies were good, it seems strange that they would then demand that they, and only they, should be spared the full consequences of those policies. #Tariffs are the dish that rural America ordered for everyone. Now the dish has arrived…

American women friends. Are you aware one of the policies listed in the SAVE Act, the GOP are pushing through, is that women’s birth certificate names must match your current name. All of it. Changed your name when you got married? You won’t be able to vote.

Call your Congress members!

This is how they start disappearing American citizens they dislike.
The administration says that criminal immigrants can be deported to a foreign forced labor prison without a hearing that could determine if the person is actually a criminal or actually an immigrant and that if it makes a mistake it can’t be rectified because the person is now outside their control.
