“They’re legal because we say so” is a confession
Awful: Trump's boat bombings are now being justified by a new legal memo that relies on WH's own determinations as evidence. Memo also says people can't be prosecuted for the killings. But that reveals WH knows there's legal vulnerability here, Ds tell me.

The Trump admin is planning to say that being from Cuba (or any other travel ban country) is a "significant negative factor" that could lead to a denial of any of several discretionary immigration benefits (like green cards).
Seriously; national origin discrimination as official government policy.

Marcy is always spot on.
You don't need it, but if you needed to know why you'd never want Trump to be your king, trace his tariff lunacy of the last 10 months.
Marcy's video is the best way to understand how hard Trump went into bullying the Supreme Court.
Next up is how that may not have worked out as planned!
