And here we go -- Fox News is now saying we should get rid of "due process" because it's too cumbersome.

The NYT, WaPo, LAT, CNN, etc etc have shifted to the right. Fox & the Post et al have always been hard right. Twitter & Meta are controlled by right wingers. On a daily basis, millions of Americans - probably the majority - see nothing but sanitized, accomodationist, right wing coverage of Trump.

Handed the teller a $20, told her to give me a roll of quarters and, shrugging, "whatever else is in the drawer."
It wasn't until much later that I was abruptly grateful she'd simply handed me a $10 bill along with the quarters, rather than pushing the silent alarm.
