The Trump administration is “shrinking the courts because they don’t think they’re going to need them.”

“Fired for no reason”: Former immigration judges speak out against Trump’s assault on the courts

The Trump administration’s push for more deportations is upending immigration courts. Recently terminated judges fear the changes imperil due process.

It’s pretty silly that ICE will be at the Super Bowl. There’s a bit of a warning about it, yes? And how many undocumented people - the majority of whom likely don’t have a lot of money - can afford Super Bowl tickets? It’s all about scaring Latinos (but remember Puerto Rico is part of the US).

What a truly evil man. How on earth can he think of himself as Christian? He will cause death all over the world from his USAID cuts and reduction of funding for cancer, HIV and other research. I only hope he reaps what he sows.

“He takes food and health care from the neediest and tries to, in his words, traumatize people—then he calls himself a Christian,” a neighbor told Mother Jones. “Pretty despicable.”

Russ Vought is Trump’s shutdown hero. His neighbors think his work is "abhorrent."

The people living near Trump's "grim reaper" of government cuts have put up signs letting him know they stand with federal workers.

This is such BS. There is no such thing as what their accusations say. We have NOT moved further left - they have moved into white supremacy. Stephen Miller is hideous.

Dems should be letting Americans get a taste of what they voted for, while demanding longer-term de-Trumpification.

Here’s How Trump Loses the Shutdown

God help us but Gavin Newsom is the only Democrat who understands power.

It seems that MAGA people, including president, senators and house members play the Opposites Game. Whatever they accuse democrats of doing is really what THEY are doing. This guy. Trump claims Demos are violent, corrupt, yet he’s the one who is. They are so full of lies.

20 year DOJ vet lead counsel on critical terrorism case, fired b/c he once worked in career role for Lisa Monaco.They are simply strangling the DOJ. 1/3 of leadership has left. And the cost here has to be reckoned in public safety. Everything gets sacrificed to absurd views of loyalty and revenge.

Trump is lying about this shutdown. He’s hiding the jobs report. And he’s hiding the Epstein files. Enough.

Lutnick on being invited over to his then-neighbor Jeffrey Epstein's house: He invites us in and there's a massage table in the middle of the room. I say, "Massage table in the middle of your house? How often you have a massage?

And he says, "Every day...and the right kind of massage."

The Republican shutdown means clinical trials will stop enrolling new patients for life-saving treatment.

But, hey, at least construction on Donald Trump's golden ballroom for his billionaire buddies will continue.
