Ah yes, air traffic controllers must show up for work without pay, but Congress can take the day off. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says he’ll be making “necessary cuts” to the department, because nothing fixes staffing shortages quite like firing more people.

Agree. It took this utterly criminal administration to actually show the value of the 5th Amd. right to a grand jury indictment.
BTW, the other referral spawned by Trump's "Russia hoax" fixation is John Brennan who is being investigated in the EDPA. despite probably never setting foot there.

I get that pretty much no one is a fan of Jim Comey. But the idea that he -knowingly and willfully lied to Congress- is just absurd on its face. We’ll see if a grand jury will really indict a ham sandwich, but I think it’s more likely the Trump admin will end up with egg on its face (again)

Article 1, Section 9 & 10 have been removed from the official Govt website on the US Constitution. Among numerous points:
•Section 9 forbids suspending The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus
•Section 10 forbids ex post facto laws
This better be a joke. Ignoring these is full blow dictatorship

Bass: We just heard that the administration’s experiment failed. The raids that were happening in Los Angeles—the random pulling and snatching of people off the streets based on the language they spoke, their appearance, where they work—the court has said that can no longer happen.

Wow. Republican Rep. Thomas Massie says today's top-secret Israel-Iran war briefing was not only canceled—but no new date was given.
If the Trump administration are truly proud of the Iran strikes, why are they hiding the details?

We never had to worry about the U.S. military being used against our own country when Biden was president.
But that’s exactly what’s happened under both Trump administrations.

Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented.
His argument fails even on its own terms.

I’m so confused by the folks who said that raising the minimum wage would increase the price of every day goods while also being okay with tariffs raising the price of every day goods…
I reckon they are okay paying higher prices as long as it doesn’t help anyone making a minimum wage.

Ongoing pattern that extends from foreign students, to Governors, to CEOs. Presenting any information that undermines the state narrative is "hostile" with the implication that it will be punished with retribution from the state.
This is the strategy of a weak regime afraid of transparency.
