US business leaders need to find the courage to speak up against threats to the rule of law and democracy (via Bloomberg Opinion)
Mute US Elites Must Find Their Voice to Support Democracy
A month ago, a lobbyist for a US military contractor messaged to ask if I would meet his boss for lunch. Because I write about defense, the CEO wanted to bend my ear about the stuff he sells.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

When you read about the unspeakable things new federal appellate judge Emil Bove is going to do—he’ll make Jim Ho and Stuart Kyle Duncan look like bleeding hearts—remember that it is *Democrats* who held the seat open for Trump to fill. Not Republicans: Democrats.
Emil Bove's confirmation was only possible because Democrats caved to a vile right-wing smear campaign of Adeel Mangi, who would have been the first Muslim appeals court judge, when Biden nominated him for the same seat last year. Absolutely disgraceful. Bove's confirmation is on them, too.
The Cowardice of Senate Democrats Made Emil Bove’s Confirmation Possible
Senate Democrats could have confirmed Biden nominee Adeel Mangi to the Third Circuit last year. They caved to a disgraceful right-wing smear campaign instead.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
