Some of us are wondering about guillotines. Fistfights are cute.
Would anyone be upset if you saw some fist fights break out on the House floor? No, it wouldn't solve the problems...but it would Goddamn sure send a clear message to the citizens of this country how pissed off our leadership is...and how tired of the bullshit run-around they're getting.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.
An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."
The other said, "Take him anyway."
So they did.

This. Write your name in the history books on the right side of the ledger.
Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.
