Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, bungled answers on Tuesday about habeas corpus, incorrectly saying that the legal right of people to challenge their detention by the government was actually the president’s “constitutional right” to deport people.

They're arresting Members of Congress.

Perhaps a sternly-worded letter is in order.

Or, perhaps, it's time to play some damn hardball with the DOJ.

I wouldn’t have watched even for you, Jim. But Michael is a far better man than I.
Best line of the night from Fanone: “Jim, I love you… but f*ck you for making me watch that.” From the post-speech edition of “The Jim Acosta Show.” open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

Update—Democrats: Forget the signs. Call out the truth. Get loud. Take a stand. They kicked your colleague Rep. Al Green out for making his voice heard. Meet the moment. They would & have done this to you. Why are you rolling over & playing dead?

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.

What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Screw the signs. Be loud and get escorted out without resisting #GoodTrouble
Congressman Al Green’s method of protest is compelling without a doubt…but these signs I don’t think are effective.

They look polite and soft.

If you’re going to hold up a sign, make it big and bold — or do what Al Green did.

People have been saying it looks like they’re at an auction.

"We have to take care of our law enforcement," says Trump, standing inside the building where law enforcement were brutally attacked by a mob of his supporters that he sent to the Capitol.

I agree with Donald Trump that an unelected bureaucrat should be fired.

Every Democrat that voted for Laken Riley Act to punish immigrants for the crime of one individual should hang their head in shame. No care for women who are dying due to overturning Roe v Wade, but go on. #StateOfTheUnion

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” 

You have to look no further than the pedestal of Lady Liberty to see what defines America. That’s who we are.  

This speech – and this President – is not who we are.
