Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

I wonder if conservatives on #scotus will insist on executive fiat when a Democrat is President?
Fed carve-out? Justice Brett Kavanaugh expressed interest in protecting the Federal Reserve’s independence, as the Supreme Court's conservative majority signaled it was leaning towards expanding President Trump's power to fire members of historically independent US agencies

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

1. Jared Kushner's trip to Moscow yesterday was not just unethical; it was illegal.
You cannot accept tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments and simultaneously conduct high-level diplomacy for the federal government.
It says it right in the Constitution.

Fascinating: The Trump administration claims that the answer to offensive speech is “more speech” when the offensive speech comes from Tucker or Musk — but when it’s on college campuses, the administration’s answer is to attack civil liberties, due process, and academic freedom. 🤔
