How's Donald Trump recognizing Mental Health Awareness Month?

By cutting services for our veterans, for students, and for our most vulnerable.

Make it make sense.

If you think for a single fucking second that suspending due process will stop with the people you don’t happen to like, then congratulations, because you are an idiot, an asshole, and you’re in a fucking cult.

Marge Greene knows that she can’t win an election outside her Georgia R+30 district, so she won’t run in a statewide race and will instead write long essays with lots of excuses. But the truth is she knows she will lose.

NEW — I’ve obtained audio of new acting FEMA head David Richardson threatening staff in an all hands meeting this morning.

As first reported by Reuters, he told those who resisted change in the agency, “Don’t get in my way…I will run right over you.”

This is my interpretation, too.
They are panicking. This Trump 2.0 thing isn’t working and they are getting desperate.
Via "One First," me on why Stephen Miller's riff on suspending habeas corpus is not just factually and legally wrong (in multiple respects), but reflects a dangerous escalation in the Trump administration's rhetorical attacks on the courts:

and we’re finally let in to conduct the oversight visit they came for in the first place.

Following this, they found out where mayor Baraka was being held, the ICE field office, and headed over there and held another press conference demanding he be released well at that facility.

Stephen Miller is trying to get rid of Habeas Corpus which a power of Congress (constitution.congress.gov/browse/artic...).

The president can only suspend the writ after Congress has passed legislation allowing it.

The WH is making threats upon the courts if they don't fall in line.

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

The Trump administration is rushing to bring the first group of white South Africans classified as refugees to the U.S. early next week. Meanwhile, they’re trying to deport other refugees already here. Make it make sense. Oh wait, Elon’s homeland. Got it.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive.

In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him.

Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.
