This is pretty amazing. This guy just won a solid victory in Bucks County, PA, one of the most important swing counties in the country, by *explicitly and deliberately* making his race *all about* nationalizing ICE raids. Confirms the point about this now being a winning issue for Dems.

Wait! Wait! So El Salvador is complaining that Trump is not paying them what he contracted to pay them? Who would ever have expected that to happen!?!?!?

The Trump administration violated another court order by attempting to deport migrants without due process, this time to Libya. Lawyers scrambled and a judge put a stop to in time, but we should expect more illegal defiance from this White House. My write-up in the replies.

Insurrectionists who got every jot and tittle of American due process and then were systematically sentenced below guidelines could only dream of being hustled off in a windowless aircraft to El Salvador without so much as a show trial to spend the rest of their life in a slave labor camp.
They had lawyers, trials, most were given pretrial release, allowed to testify in their own defense, got discovery, could call witnesses, could cross-examine witnesses, could present mitigation at sentencing, and had a right to appeal.

So it appears DOGE has decreed that Social Security administration will no longer provide phone support. At all. This is in addition to shutting down a ton of local SSA offices. www.axios.com/2025/03/17/s...

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

to be clear, USIP staff spoke to MPD prior and then called them to report DOGE as trespassers and when the cops showed up they instead held the door open for Musk’s thugs.
to me the most disturbing fact about DOGE’s raid on the US Institute of Peace is that the local cops helped them.
