Trump's 'Big Brutal Bill' will give ICE a larger operating budget than the entire U.S. Marine Corps.

So this is basically a workaround for Trump to violate the Posse Comitatus Act, which bans the military from civilian law enforcement.

This Rick Steves episode about travel in Iran left me more optimistic about the future. While our governments have histories of antagonism and interference, the people on the streets of Iran were surprisingly friendly towards America and Americans. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYoa...

Something I’d note is that while there is criminal immunity for “official acts” for the president, no such immunity exists for the deputy chief of staff.

ICE is also the fault of a complicit press.

How, where and who did ICE recruit? Why isn't every newspaper in the country devoting themselves to finding out who is in this brand new secret police force that now terrorizes America?

It's the definition of newsworthy. The answer is: they're afraid.

My relatives in East L.A. — born in the U.S.A. — are afraid to go outside because masked men with guns are randomly snatching people off the street.

This is a government terrorism campaign against its own people.

I’ll say it again: It was a huge mistake for Congress to abolish itself.

Don’t underestimate how Donald being pissed at the military for humiliating him with its shabby military parade is factoring into his current talk of putting them in harm’s way. He *is* that petulant.
