DHS is using administrative subpoenas to retaliate against dissenters
The Department of Homeland Security is using a little-known legal weapon, targeting dissenters with administrative subpoenas. MSNOW Legal Analyst Melissa Murray says the Trump administration isn’t using them “to fight crime or enhance public safety, but to minimize public dissent.” Tech reporter Joseph Menn warns, “This isn’t an isolated case.”

Republicans are fond of invoking the US's founding and the framers of the Constitution.
But their veneration is particularly rich right now: Of all the abuses England heaped on the colonies, nothing angered them more than the Crown’s deployment of soldiers on city streets, especially in Boston.

Donald Trump’s Twin Cities onslaught feels a lot like the British tyranny in colonial Boston
