Spare me the fake outrage.
None of these people showing up for court are criminals of any kind.
As a prosecutor, I worked with many ICE officers who arrested violent criminals. None of them wore masks.
Many of your agents are clearly ashamed to carry out your orders.

Wow, almost 6:30 and trump hasn’t publicly embarrassed himself yet today. Probably been in church all day, or walking the stations of the cross.

When truth is rewritten and history is scrubbed clean, freedom doesn’t disappear with a bang—it fades, unnoticed. Orwell warned us. Now the mist is creeping in.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says regular folks won't mind if one of their Social Security check doesn't show up.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says Americans ready to retire don't care about "day-to-day" market fluctuations.
These people are robber barons with no empathy for normal people.

Rubio was unanimously confirmed by the Senate. Every Dem voted to confirm him. Now he's kidnapping people and trafficking them to El Salvador
Rubio’s position seems to be:
- We get to say who is a terrorist. Our decision is final. It can’t be challenged. Just trust us.
- Once we decide you are a terrorist, we can immediately deport you. No judges.
- After we deport you, we can make you rot in a foreign prison. No criminal charges needed.

On Hugh Hewitt’s show, Marco Rubio says El Salvador is “housing” people sent by the US. But he never says on what possible legal authority? These people haven’t committed any crime in El Salvador and by their own admission “many” have never committed a crime in the US. It all seems entirely lawless.

A terrifying thought occurred to me last night: if trump declared that criticizing him was tantamount to treason, there isn’t a single republican in congress who will stand up and say no. Not one.
