Most average working Americans abide by laws and norms. Most are kind and decent. But there is growing rot at the top of our system. And its stench can no longer be ignored. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-732

ICE in DC is setting up racially driven checkpoints and roadblocks. This is one on Canal Road. A large number of vehicles can be seen waiting to be towed after these agents disappeared their owners.

President Trump's threats against members of Congress are dangerous and unacceptable. These threats have soared recently, and political violence has taken too many lives—including my friend, former MN House Speaker Melissa Hortman. This dangerous rhetoric must end now.

🚨Teenager goes to lunch in the middle of his school day, gets stopped by ICE, tells ICE he is an American citizen and ICE responds with, “I don’t care.” He was arrested and taken to Portland’s detention center. He was later released. 1/2

I wonder if these ICE agents are surprised by this? Did they always expect to be treated as conquering heroes?

Note—every time a Federal judge rules against Trump, Trump claims "the judge is usurping the President's power."

That's a lie.

Judge's don't "usurp" POTUS's power—they enforce Constitutional & Congressional limits on power.

Wannabe kings don't like it, but that's how separation of powers works.

In short: Even though the court ordered discovery based on the likelihood of vindictive and selective prosecution, we don't even need to get into it and you should dismiss the charges now given we just learned the DOJ lied to a judge about Costa Rica not accepting Mr. Abrego.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia's lawyers inform a federal judge about the Washington Post's bombshell: The government's claim that Costa Rica will no longer accept Abrego has been exposed as a lie.

More evidence—"if any were needed"—of vindictive prosecution.

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.

I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.

It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

He keeps insisting that his “orders” outrank the Constitution.

A president’s power isn’t unlimited.

The military swears an oath to the Constitution, not to a man.

The fact that he still doesn’t understand that is exactly why he’s dangerous.👇

Home Depot could implement a policy requiring ICE to present a judicial warrant before operating on its property. Businesses are fully within their rights to decide who is allowed on their premises.

"The Attorney General of the United States has set a new low for this committee," Whitehouse said.

Shouldn't doing what Pam Bondi is accusing James Comey of doing be a scandal that would make her have to resign? In her case it's is easily proven that she lied to the committee.

A federal judge didn’t “steal” the Commander-in-Chief’s powers—she ruled that DoD exceeded the limits Congress set. That is the rule of law working as designed. What threatens the Republic isn’t judicial review, but officials who insist they’re above it.
