I would love to think that the President of the United States calling for the execution of Democrat lawmakers and reposting an account with an Iron Cross as its avatar would be something the corporate press would take seriously and cover but they value their access over everything. Total failures.

I mean it's great that the bill was passed but we already know the DOJ will selectively withhold anything bad for Trump, the press will immediately declare there's nothing to it, and the public will generally forget about it in a month. I really don't get why people think this will be any different.

If a sitting president can openly muse about arresting and disappearing someone who is likely to become mayor of the country's largest city, while also getting the funding for a massive secret police, it'd be hard to find sufficient evidence to qualify that country as a democracy.
Trump threatens to arrest Mamdani and then adds, "a lot of people are saying he's here illegally"

Trump calls for deporting US citizens: "We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time ... many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job."

The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.
Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".
Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.

All the reactionary centrists attacking Mamdami every day will deny -- to us, even to themselves I think -- that they play a key role in enabling this kind of shit. But that is literally their function in the current US political structure.

Defunding cancer research and using that money to increase ICE's budget to that of a small nation's army has nothing to do with fiscal responsibility, it's a deliberate choice of what this administration and GOP prioritize.

ICE *already* can't meet their detainment numbers without rounding up children, veterans, people born in the U.S., people with no criminal records, people at immigration hearings, plus academics and visitors with valid visas.
So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget?
The answer is: you.

The answer is: you.
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:
- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

Really funny how establishment Democrats for the past few months have been lecturing the base about how now is not the time to try and replace people in its ranks because we have to focus all our energy on Trump…and then Mamdani got elected and now they’re doing everything they can to take him down.

Republicans are getting what they paid for: a court willing to cede its power to an executive but only if a Republican is in power. But Democrats will retake power, and John Roberts is all but guaranteeing that Trump’s Supreme Court will barely outlast the Trump administration.
there is no jurisprudence at work here. the republican court believes that anything a republican president is presumptively constitutional, even if it directly violates the unambiguous constitutional text and causes total chaos in law and policy.
