The United States sent possibly innocent men to a foreign prison without a hearing ... and put a convicted felon who led a violent coup against the Constitution in the White House.

Also, maybe Marco Rubio should look inward. No one has done more to cause “serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States” than this administration.
Imagine trying to deport someone for their "expected beliefs"

Can't be emphasized enough that the image of the US deporting people for things they said is so much more damaging to its foreign policy interests than anything a student might have said on the quad
Wow. This is the full document submitted by Rubio against Mr. Khalil invoking INA 237(a)(4)(C).
The standard in immigration court is extremely deferential; a judge must accept this so long as it is “facially reasonable and bona fide.” But this is so threadbare that it might not even satisfy that.

Re Zelensky at the WH, yet again, feminists and trauma/abuse- informed thinkers are years ahead of political analysts.
There is no acceptable affect, no way to charm an abuser, and no “deal” other than playing very very dead that would change how Trump and his flying monkey Vance behaved.

This email to federal workers and the X post saying failure to comply equals their resignation are examples of neither leadership nor management. They are deliberate instruments of fear to destabilize and break a federal workforce that: 1) we all rely on and 2) is already under enormous stress.
