Stephen Miller says they are “actively looking at” suspending the writ of habeas corpus, which is only allowed when the US has been invaded or during an insurrection, which would not allow people to challenge their incarceration in court if they are arrested and detained.

Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."

For too long, Democrats have understood public opinion as something to fear as opposed to something to shape.
i take him at his word that he wants to win, the interesting thing to me is when his strategy fails — and it has failed, multiple times — he just pretends it was never tried
This is literally how Trump won both times

NEW: During a 3-hour preliminary injunction hearing in a suit alleging that Elon Musk wields unprecedented power in violation of the Appointments Clause, a federal judge grew frustrated with government counsel's inability to answer questions about DOGE’s chain of command and Musk's role.
![JUDGE: Who was the head of DOGE before Amy Gleason?
GOVERNMENT COUNSEL: I can’t answer that, I don’t know.
JUDGE: I mean, that seems like a knowable fact, doesn’t it?
GOVERNMENT COUNSEL: I’m sure it is knowable; I just don’t know it. I’m very conscious of being accurate with the court…I just can’t make a representation.
JUDGE: Have you asked anyone?
GOVERNMENT COUNSEL: I have not asked…actually, strike that. I have asked previously, and I was not able to get answer.
JUDGE: Are you saying there was an administrator before Ms. Gleason? Or that there was nobody until this new person [Gleason] was put in?
GOVERNMENT COUNSEL: I’m not saying either, because I don’t know.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:t4x2ruk2qmob2b2cx55h4v7r/bafkreic3k7xhk3l2hgbwbfnwv7exmw3hq2buhout5qjxgt2iyuelzvuzv4@jpeg)

Donald Trump and Elon Musk can afford to blithely dismantle the healthcare of America's veterans at the VA.
As two rich draft-dodgers, they never need worry about getting help with treatment for military injuries.
