if it takes years, has to be consequences for all these people, and even more for those who gave the orders.
NYT: “The episode was recorded by someone who was sitting in Mr. Nadler’s office. In the video, an officer with the Federal Protective Service, part of the Department of Homeland Security, is shown demanding access to a private area inside the office.”

NEW INVESTIGATION: A private equity-fueled for-profit chain slashed patient care for years while its executives got rich. So we scraped every malpractice, personal injury, and wrongful death case tied to Steward hospitals.
And we found how mothers, newborns, and others paid the ultimate price.

“One of the children is a U.S. citizen child suffering from a rare form of metastatic cancer and was [disappeared] out of the country without medication or consultation with their treating physicians — despite ICE being notified in advance of the child’s medical needs.”
Donald Trump isn’t just illegally removing U.S. citizens from the country without due process.
He’s illegally removing U.S. citizens who are literal children undergoing care for cancer.

🚨New day, new horror.
ICE deports two families, including 3 children that are US CITIZENS aged 2, 4 & 7.
The families were snatched & blocked from communicating with attorneys/family.
One mother is pregnant. One child has cancer & was deported without medication or any doctor support.

I don't give a shit who says it, but Dems need far fewer conflict adverse geriatrics that don't have the energy to fight. It's a political war right now and we need more people that act like it.

Need to be 100% clear here: the President (convicted felon, twice impeached) is committing this illegal act to punish Maine for not complying with his earlier order -- which is also illegal.

I'm appalled by the USDA's decision to pause funding to the University of Maine System.
This will hurt our farmers, halt critical research, and impact students throughout Maine.
Once again, our state is being targeted for retribution—all because our officials are standing up for the rule of law.

I'm definitely not shrugging, under my skin I am a roiling mass of rage, anxiety, and frustration.
Again, folks seem not to grasp how much this is a total collapse of the Constitutional order. A random private citizen is running the "Cabinet" meeting of POTUS & the Principal Officers of the Executive Departments, & going around unplugging large portions of the government. And we're all just 🤷♂️
This man is barely even a formal government employee, let alone elected or Senate-confirmed. A total failure of the Constitutional order, just broadcast & normalized by every major media outlet.
