"Politics" is a screen behind which bad actors tuck the people impacted, in hopes that you overlook their humanity. "It's just politics" is always a distraction from the cost to and in human lives.

Today at least two judges were arrested for acts that are not criminally illegal and a two year old U.S. citizen was kidnapped and shipped to Honduras by ICE, who called it a "deportation."

This is why they don’t want to do due process.
NEW: In a SCATHING decision, Judge Briones of the Western District of Texas absolutely SAVAGED the government over this case, tearing to shreds ICE’s hearsay “evidence” that this husband and wife were in Tren de Aragua as “completely and wholly unsubstantiated” — and ordered their immediate release!

At this point "Abolish ICE and prosecute every officer who helped with deportations" is the moderate path

A distraction is what a laser pointer is to your cat. The federal gov’t detaining and jailing and deporting people without due process, and without taking accountability for their actions and, in fact, slandering those denied their rights, is 100 percent worthy of your unflagging attention.

It might feel good in the moment to say he should be sent to languish in a torture prison in El Salvador, but the Constitution entitles all persons within the territories of the United States to due process and freedom from cruel and unusual punishment. Even traitorous felonious predator grifters.

Executive Orders are not laws and do not need to be treated as such
Tomorrow, we expect Trump is going to sign an Executive Order claiming to dissolve the U.S. Department of Education.
Reminder: Trump does not have the legal authority to destroy a cabinet department; reporting on the EO as if he does have that power is both inaccurate and unethical.

Depriving people of a reasonable way to get their own money is not "saving." It's STEALING.
Musk staffers are joking about how upcoming Social Security changes will restrict access by requiring in-person visits while simultaneously shutting down offices. They are touting the cost savings from limiting access.

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer.
"Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.
