This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

How long before Trump starts demanding he be replaced?
BREAKING: Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell says that bigger-than-expected tariffs will translate into higher inflation and slower economic growth — and that the higher inflation could be persistent, not temporary
Fed's Powell: Tariff inflation could persist, slower growth likely
His comments imply the Fed will not come to the rescue amid falling markets

I love those mornings when the coffee just hits better.
Don't get me wrong, coffee is always good.
But there are some mornings when I just clutch my mug a little tighter and breathe those delightful caffeinated vapors more deeply, wishing it didn't have to end.

Curious where that whole "Republican State's Rights Mantra" went.
There's a lot going on, God knows, but don't miss that the President of the United States is using the full force of the Federal government, as well as tax dollars, to punish a state because its Governor... refused to do as he instructed.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

That someday a Scotus decision smacks Trump down so hard, he throws a flailing toilet tantrum that causes his heart to finally give out.
And he keels over while accidentally tweeting his final pathetic moments to be made into a million celebratory memes.
And the world rejoices.

All the agreements by Big Law to donate hundreds of millions of dollars to Trump's causes won't be doing *pro bono* work, which is work for a client who can't afford representation. They will be donating their time to the fascist regime. Do not forget the names of anyone who does this work.

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time:
Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves.
Q: Why are you running away?
Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels.
Q: But you’re foxes!
Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.
