Steve Miller wants to suspend habeas corpus, ICE is ignoring due process - this is on you Justice Roberts.

Fix it now or even you and your 5 other compromised Justices will be rendered useless by the very man child you gave immunity.

Even in his last speech, Pope Francis stood up for migrants when others demagogued around them.

He will be missed.
Read Pope Francis' last public speech
Pope Francis made his last public appearance on Easter Sunday to deliver his Urbi et Orbi (which translates as "to the city and to the world") message, in line with tradition.

Ivy League stupidity and recklessness as @SecDef shared, again on the app Signal, Yemen attack plans. The information is both critical and sensitive and in the hands of our enemies could result in loss of American life.

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today.

This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

So the White House story is now:

“We didn’t mean to threaten Harvard, because we didn’t mean to send the threatening letter we sent, but when Harvard rejected the threats we made but didn’t mean to make, we decided to threaten them twice more.”

The country is now run by thugs and idiots.
Trump Officials Blame Mistake for Setting Off Confrontation With Harvard
An official on the administration’s antisemitism task force told the university that a letter of demands had been sent without authorization.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Medicaid covers 72+ million Americans—and 41% of all births.

Republicans want women barefoot and pregnant, then slash the care that keeps them and their babies alive. This isn’t pro-life. It’s pro-control, pro-cruelty, and pro-death.

BREAKING: The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is firing 1,500 workers, and will soon have only about 200 remaining.

That means the CFPB will be largely unable to carry out its mission of overseeing financial institutions and regulating companies that scam consumers.

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison.

It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.
