This is insane. U.S. District Judge Terry A. Doughty, a Trump appointee, called this “illegal and unconstitutional.”

Reminders:
"Concentration camps" aren't the same as "extermination camps." Both were/are horrific.
Most Nazi camps were *outside Germany*, away from the eyes of German citizens.
Those trains? Were to, uh, deport the category of people whose lives were deemed unimportant.
Never again is now.

Every interview, the administration claims the USA "has been ripped off for years." It is super frustrating that it gets no pushback at all. It is accepted as fact, and they get to move on to other lies. All the evidence points to the opposite. It is a wild claim. Make them defend their position!

Jared Golden (ME-2) has withdrawn from the TRIO Caucus, a bipartisan group supportive of higher education access for low-income, first-generation, and disabled students.
He is officially against higher ed access now. Maybe he believes only the wealthy should have a college degree?

I had to strengthen my personal security last winter especially after being doxxed and swatted because of my ruling that President Trump had engaged in insurrection on January 6. So I understand how it feels to be targeted. But all of us in office swore an oath to defend the Constitution.
