And Democrats have humored Republican attacks on government for so long that they have to do the “we agree that changes need to be made, but” thing whenever they do speak out against what’s happening
It works. The government here largely works. Because we are so spoiled by how well it works, we are letting a fool convince us it is broken.
In 90 years of social security, we have never had a check bounce or be late, but they want you to believe the system is broken.

It's almost as if highly specialized services are extremely lucrative and what you'd expect an incredibly high-income country with a massive human capital advantage to produce instead of primary goods
Now there's a memorable stat!
"Colleges and universities are among America’s most competitive international exporters. In dollar terms, last year, the United States sold more educational services to the rest of the world than it sold in natural gas and coal combined."

DOJ provides no new information on Abrego Garcia but says if he manages to return to the US, they'll detain him and remove him to a different country (not El Salvador) or seek to "terminate" his order of removal and send him back to El Salvador. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

NEW: The Trump administration, via a senior State Department official, says Kilmar Abrego Garcia is alive in El Salvador's notorious CECOT prison. But they still won't say if they're doing anything to get him back.

As I’ve said, yes, this was their aim all along. That’s why they didn’t just send these people to Gitmo. This is an attempt to find a step beyond Gitmo where the court says, “Well, our hands are tied.” It’s an awful, lawless gambit that must fail, but that is what they want it to be.

Many — if not most — of the complaints levied against King George are indistinguishable from those brought against President Trump today.

So this is straight up human trafficking then
the transfer to El Salvador of US deportees is, per Pres Bukele, a straight up contract that has “nothing to do w/foreign policy.” The fees we are paying makes their entire prison system “sustainable.” Don’t see how US can make argument that bringing A-G back is some sensitive foreign policy matter

Because no one in the senate, congress or military will let the people know that they will be supported. They're trying to get us to take care of their business while they maintain plausable deniability, so if it goes wrong, the regime won't come after them. Betrayal of duty, is what it smells like.

Tonight the Supreme Court made it possible to have m ore cases like Andry's, by requiring that people challenging Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act file individual habeas corpus lawsuits.

Tonight we learned that it was indeed Andry, the gay man sent to El Salvador because of his “mom” and “dad” tattoos, who an American journalist saw sobbing as guards slapped him repeatedly and shaved his head.
He is an innocent. And Trump sent him to a torture prison.
