The writ of habeas corpus—the principle that you can't be arrested/imprisoned without judicial process—is a foundational right in our republic. Yes, according to the Constitution, it can be suspended in cases of "Rebellion or Invasion," but no reasonable person would conclude that is where we are.

No matter what this Administration tells the American people, the law is very clear: Members of Congress have a legal right to enter any DHS detention facility to conduct oversight without prior notice - something I’ve done twice this year without issue.

The GOP’s reconciliation bill is one of the worst environmental bills I’ve ever seen.
It guts public input, silences tribal and community voices, slashes environmental protections, and hands sacred and public lands to the lowest bidder with no accountability.

AOC: We need to be talking about ICE agents and the cowardly policy of covering their faces — and, in many cases, their identification… The idea that we’re going to allow a paramilitary force to bloom, one that isn’t accountable to the Constitution… we’ve got another thing coming.

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.
