Hosting the Olympics and World Cup are going to be impossible. What athlete in their right mind would risk coming to the US now?
Head coach of MMA Australian team Renato Subotic arrived in the US to teach a seminar. Instead he said he was detained at the border: "No clear explanation, no chance to talk to anyone, no rights. They handcuffed me, put me in a car, and drove me to federal prison."

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points.
And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

/technically it says “countries other than their countries of origin,” but the context right now, given everything going on, makes the threat clear.
