If this was in a South American country, such as Venezuela, it would be all over the US news with headlines of how that country is no longer democratic and needs "liberating".
Here's another angle from Fox News reporter Bill Melugin of Sen. Alex Padilla getting roughed up by law enforcement after he tries to question Kristi Noem at her presser:
“I’m Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary. Because the fact of the matter is, a half dozen... Hands off!”

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

Has America ever won a war when actually having to fight on the ground? Aside from the one against themselves, obviously.

Carney experience in the Bank Of England during Brexit taught him a lot about how to deal with stupid, arrogant people who wanted to enact economic harm on themselves and others.
That experience helped him be in the position he is now.

Carney is very good at flattering Trump’s ego superficially JUST enough to keep him docile while strongly asserting our interests and boundaries and getting Trump to nod along. Well played.

Turning Point member who was asked to leave a debate club. Fellow student said that the gunman “was a big part of it as to why I felt unsafe post-election to come back to the club. He was sort of like the MAGA ringleader in the group.” In another context this would be presented as cancel culture.
The FSU gunman was known to “go on diatribes about how he hated the feminist movement, members of the LGBTQ+ community, people of color and immigrants.”

Abrego Garcia has a right to his day in court. This is not a radical principle, at least not since the English barons got King John to sign the Magna Carta in 1215. It is not a dangerous principle - except to corrupt kings and their toadies.
