“Because of the congressional instinct for political survival, the Medicaid cuts are backloaded beyond the 2026 midterms. Cynicism may have a silver lining. As more people realize what is coming, there is time to alter these policies before grave damage is done.”

Of course, due process is important. But more important is the moral injustice of man-handling and traumatizing people.
A reminder: The Trump administration violated the due process rights of at least 261 people in March alone. With few exceptions, the administration got away with it. Trump has said more than once that citizens are next.
All persons on U.S. soil have a right to due process under the Constitution.

Trump calls for deporting US citizens: "We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time ... many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job."

Even for those who understand little about economics (thanks to our education system), this seems nutty to me.
Listen to the whole thing— it’s impressively deranged. “Jobs down, economy softening, here’s why that’s great news for Trump” stuff.
Lonski on Bartiromo's show: "Our big surprise today had to be that ADP report on private sector employment. Down by 33k jobs! Labor market is softening, flattening out. That tells me companies can increase prices in response to higher tariffs but I don't think consumers are gonna respond positively"

First time my congressman has taken the lead.
PALLONE: With regard to vaccines, are you just afraid to receive public comments on proposals? There's been no public process
RFK JR: We have a public process for regulating vaccines. It's called the ACIP committee.
PALLONE: You fired the committee!

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process.
But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things.
That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.
