Elon is out there paying people to sign a petition. Just a little bribery, nothing to see here.

Rubio’s position seems to be:

- We get to say who is a terrorist. Our decision is final. It can’t be challenged. Just trust us.
- Once we decide you are a terrorist, we can immediately deport you. No judges.
- After we deport you, we can make you rot in a foreign prison. No criminal charges needed.
On Hugh Hewitt’s show, Marco Rubio says El Salvador is “housing” people sent by the US. But he never says on what possible legal authority? These people haven’t committed any crime in El Salvador and by their own admission “many” have never committed a crime in the US. It all seems entirely lawless.

State-sponsored kidnapping

The Trump admin took people by force, based on flimsy accusations & sent them not to their home country but to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador—in defiance of a court order.

Holding people against their will through deception and threat is by definition—kidnapping.

Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

Elon Musk’s staffers are still attempting to manipulate the Treasury payment system to halt the flow of funds following their recent losses. Reminder: U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly has restricted DOGE’s read-only access. No one is above the law.
