The prosecution of Comey, the targeting of NYAG James, and the closing of an investigation into Homan are proof Trump has turned the DOJ into a vehicle to punish opponents and protect allies. This is how the rule of law crumbles.
That’s why I introduced the Preventing Political Prosecutions Act.

Was just at a neighborhood school at dismissal. Hundreds of people with whistles surrounding the school and stationed down every block making sure ICE doesn’t snatch anyone. The same is happening at all the schools around here. I love my neighborhood and I love Chicago.

Remember this is a fact. Yet the Republicans continue to ignore it as children are shot to death.
Why?
Proof they are NOT pro-life and never have been.
They're pro-campaign donations.

Autherine Lucy was accepted to Alabama's most prestigious university in 1952, until they found out she was Black.
In 1956 she was admitted. That same day a riot broke out, and Lucy was expelled
Her expulsion was lifted in 1988.
She died only 3 years ago.
Today would be her 96th bday

"The Trump administration is preparing a plan that will make it harder for older Americans to qualify for Social Security disability payments" This is eugenics. Trump like other right wing regimes is trying to eliminate the disabled and old from society.

The Trump Administration’s “Compact of Excellence” for Universities is... far from excellent! Indeed, it’s unconstitutional. In this post, let me count the ways.

The Unconstitutional Conditions Doctrine and the Compact for Excellence
Members of the Trump administration love to say that federal funding is a privilege not a right and therefore something that can be granted or withheld based on changing administrative priorities.

Very sadly true.
One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

Winning the shutdown means wielding power. Newsom gets it. Democrats should stop rescuing Trump’s Medicaid cuts and ACA sabotage. Trade relief only for structural checks on executive abuse. Make him own the damage.
