The depth of cynicism required to pass this grotesque bill—a bill that spits in the face of nearly every voter except for the richest among us—should be enough to convince all of us to get these kowtowing Republicans out of office.

A piece of advice from an old retired soldier to the commanders and leaders currently serving:
Review the regulations & policies addressing political behavior when wearing the uniform, and then address those standards with your teams.

So, ICE "officers" are going around with faces covered, kidnapping (sorry, "arresting") people, without any ID or warrants, & generally acting like goons or thugs.
And they wonder why they are not respected?
Really? Are they kidding?
Respect has to be earned. Take masks off & wear ID for a start!

In SCOTUS's 7-2 ruling stopping more kidnapped people from being sent to El Salvador, the majority justices didn't wait for Alito to write his dissent.
That's odd and suggests they didn't trust him to act in good faith, that his plan was to hold up the order until the prisoners were already gone.

Van Hollen: I should also just say, I mentioned the fake margarita, they actually wanted to have the meeting by the side of the pool in the hotel. They want to create this appearance that life was just lovely for Kilmar. Which of course is a big, fat lie.

It’s simple: No American citizen should be imprisoned beyond the reach of our Constitution. Due process, legal protections, and basic human rights must follow us wherever we go. If our government is going to detain its own people, it must do so transparently—on American soil, under American law.

Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts.
From left to right are Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride. NASA selected all six women as their first female astronaut candidates in January 1978.
