Reminder: We are not at war with Venezuela. The people deported are not enemies. The law in question should not apply. Among the most dangerous aspects of the SCOTUS ruling is the idea that the president and his people have the right to arbitrarily determine who our enemies are.

Clear-eyed analysis of America’s inevitable slide into a third-rate country. If you can’t educate your populace, you can’t keep a democracy going very long. You just wind up with dupes buying snake oil from demagogues.

I mean, seriously? The prez tanks world markets and the US dollar, fires senior security officials because Looney Loomer says so, and then hops in a taxpayer-funded AirForce One to spend an extended weekend watching golf? And the GOP responds by trying to bypass Senate rules to pass more tax cuts.

Amidst the chaos and the law-breaking the most important thing to remember/focus on is that they are doing these things illegally because they know they don't have the votes to do it by passing laws, even in a GOP controlled Congress.

This is the truth. And cruelty is their purpose.
A fake billionaire is letting a fake genius destroy America because a bunch of fake patriots are too stupid, too entitled and too hateful to understand the difference between what is fake news and what is fact.

I just spoke with an attorney who works with the NOAA, and there is a valid path to shut down what's happening. The agencies are compromised, the IGs are fired, etc.
We need a state AG (she said NY would be best) to file a lawsuit seeking an injunction using state and federal cybersecurity laws.
