Developer Trump's largest and most consequential building project ever is the erection of an unprecedented network of concentration camps across America. If any buildings bear his name, it should be these. Trump Concentration Camps. An indelible stain on our society.

A mother should never have to beg for answers about her child’s death. Roger Fortson proudly served his country and his family is still demanding the truth and transparency about what happened. Roger's life mattered. We owe his loved ones MORE than silence!

For those who might downplay the importance of due process, this should urge reconsideration.
BONUS RULING: Judge Thomas Johnston, a George W. Bush appoiintee in West Virginia, used a recent ruling to warn of the dangers of defying due process for immigrants because of what it could also mean for Americans. It's worth a read.

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency.
She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.
