The government ignored his protective legal status & deported Abrego Garcia. “Now they claim that the court is powerless to order any relief. If that’s true, the immigration laws are meaningless because the government can deport ANYONE & no court can do anything about it once it’s done.”

My YES vote is *not* an endorsement of this deeply flawed CR.
My YES vote is 💯 about refusing to shut our government down.
I refuse to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos.
I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever vote to shut our government down.

Trump's bizarre new tirade over Elon Musk, Tesla, and the "radical left" actually shows weakness. Trump now sees that his political fortunes are tightly tied to Musk's DOGE disasters, and he sees Tesla's tanking stock as a very bad omen.

Trump hates green energy—but he loves Teslas, which he’s now pathetically pleading with his followers to buy as a show of loyalty and devotion to Elon Musk.

Worth stating simply what’s happening. An American government is launching a full-scope political & economic assault on an ally repelling an ongoing invasion to compel them to terminate martial law, topple their president, hand over minerals to America & accept a ceasefire w/out security guarantees.

I don't know if this has been widely considered/discussed & apologies if it has, but some aspect(s) of this seem highly plausible.
