This is the top law enforcement officer in the country actually telling the American people that a federal judge has no right to do what the Constitution of the United States obligates that judge to do. The Trump administration is at war with the rule of law. Well done America.
Attorney General Pam Bondi tells Fox News that Judge Boasberg in the Venezuelan deportations case has "no right" to ask DOJ about when the planes departed and who was on them as he tries to establish whether the Trump admin defied his court order

We used to say travelers to some overseas countries should take a burner phone or uninstall all their social media apps first but I didn’t think we would need to be telling that to people entering the US…
Jawdropping.
You would expect this in a dictatorship, not the United States.
This country is unrecognizable.

You don't have to support or even like the campus protests to recognize how dangerous deporting a legal resident is. This is literally the point of the 1st Amendment. This is their test to see how much they can get away with. Next it will be immigration advocates and on. Don't make excuses.

Trump's CFPB, now under the command of billionaire hedge fund manager Scott Bessent, has halted the Biden admin's rule to ban medical bills from credit reports.
It's been estimated that the rule would help improve the credit scores of 15 million people.
Some populist, huh?

He resigned because those posts were about to be printed in the wall street journal.
For context, the staffer was fired because he posted, "I just want a eugenic immigration policy, is that too much to ask," "You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity," and "Normalize Indian hate."
