A lifelong Republican breaks down over what Trump’s done to America:
“Mr. Trump, I’m so disappointed in you. I voted for you, and you turned us into a bunch of hateful, mean horrible people…I’ll never ever vote Republican and I’ve been voting for 80 years”

Excellent piece on Miller on habeas. Far superior to the surprisingly both-sides-ish coverage by some media.
What Miller is claiming the power to do isn’t questionable or dubious. It would be anti-constitutional usurpation.

148. Suspending Habeas Corpus
In response to adverse rulings in numerous immigration cases, Stephen Miller is raising the specter of suspending habeas. His argument is factually and legally nuts, but it's worth explaining *why.*

Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not.
An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.

As of right now, only one team in the second round with a higher seed next to its name is favored by Vegas. That team is Illinois. However only by 1.5. I take no comfort from this. Just an observation. #illini

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money.
He was not dead.

I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle
“Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

Folks: please be diligent about not disseminating Ann Telnaes' cartoon in a way that she's not getting the clicks on it (until she says differently). Her IP matters now more than ever.
Make it go viral but make sure she benefits.

#illini It bugs me when people say that loss was “typical Illini” or something similar. Every team loses heartbreakers. Illinois wins more than their share of big games. People just tend to focus on the heartbreakers. Illinois isn’t snake bit and these guys aren’t losers. Far from it.
