AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Me on Trump pardoning disgraced former congressman George Santos:
"It's completely nuts, but he's completely nuts — and so is Santos, maybe that's the thing that joins them all together... Trump finds a fraudster appealing."

He’s wanted to declare martial law from day one.
Bypass all checks and rule as a tyrant.
Many have speculated how he’d do it.
Now his gambit is clear.
DC was a test.
He’s using manufactured crime stats to send troops into blue states & cities.
This is not a drill.
Democracy is at defcon 1.

Trump is truly postmodern—truth is not a relevant concept in contemporary politics. Trumpism is an attack on the idea that things can be objectively true. Trump’s skill as a politician is he can bend collective perceptions to fit his interests.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL: ICE has detained hundreds of U.S. citizens by “mistake.”
And now they want 100,000 beds and more planes to scale up?
They’re not deporting “illegals”—they’re running a kidnapping ring with government contracts.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

ICE is about to get access to Medicaid records—a HIPAA violation.
Quick facts:
Undocumented immigrants don’t get full Medicaid. They only qualify for emergency care like childbirth or life-threatening treatment.
States like CA & NY offer limited coverage, but its’s state-funded, not federal.

And what did we do?

Now: deploying the NG to arrest individuals and deny/eradicate the freedoms they justifiably and peacefully seek.

When President Johnson activated the Nat'l Guard in Alabama in 1965 over Gov. Wallace's objection he did it to protect protesters advocating for voting rights for Black people who had previously met violence at the hands of state troopers. Very different situation.

A good question to keep in mind is how something the President or federal law enforcement or a federalized guard unit does might have seemed to a colonist in Pennsylvania or Massachusetts if George III or a redcoat had done it.
