“Donald Trump hates me because I fight hard, and I fight for free and fair elections. I insist on fighting for democracy in court, fighting for voting rights in court, and insist on telling the truth about what the outcome of the 2020 election was,” says lawyer Marc Elias. cbsn.ws/43btfGV

This 3-0 4th Circuit Ruling on Abrego Garcia & opinion by conservative Judge Wilkinson is SAVAGE.
It should be everything the House needs to know about the Executive Branch encroaching beyond the separation of powers.
Call your Rep & tell them to impeach!

![It is in this atmosphere that we are reminded of President Eisenhower's sage
example
Putting his *personal opinions
aside,
President Eisenhower honored his
"inescapable" duty to enforce the Supreme Cout's decision in Brown v. Board of
Education II to desegregate schools *wvith all deliberate speed." Address by the President
of the United States, Delivered from his Office at the White House 1-2 (Sept. 24, 1957);
349 U.S. 294, 301 (1955). This great man expressed his unflagging belief that "[t]he very
basis of our individual rights and freedoms is the certainty that the President and the
Executive Branch of Government will support and [e]nsure the carrying out of the
decisions of the Federal Courts." Id. at 3. Indeed, in our late Executive's own words,
"[u]nless the President did so, anarchy would result." Id.
Now the branches come too close to grinding irrevocably against one another in a
conflict that promises to diminish both.l This is a losing proposition all around. The
Judiciary will lose much from the constant intimations of its illegitimacy, to which by dent
of custom and detachment we can only sparingly reply. The Executive will lose much from
a public perception of its lawlessness and all of its attendant contagions. The Executive
may succeed for a time in weakening the courts, but over time history will script the tragic
gap between what was and all that might have been, and law in time will sign its epitaph.
It is, as we have noted, all too possible to see in this case an incipient crisis, but it
may present an opportunity as well. We yet cling to the hope that it is not naïve to believe
our good brethren in the Executive Branch perceive the rule of law as vital to the American
ethos. This case presents their unique chance to vindicate that value and to summon the
best that is within us while there is still time,](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dozrbbuzuojdwr2psqkapfxo/bafkreigacmiujj2db43bkef7pdzpp2d5ofcolw7bdtqzbmhdxl4zuy7wqa@jpeg)

Donald Trump is deporting legal US residents to a foreign gulag, and he has stated publicly that he is moving on to citizens next. This is a Constitutional crisis. Will a single Republican stand up for our Constitution?

Trump’s chances of uniting developed nations into a solid front against China’s unfair trade practices is zero now. He has done nothing but chase other countries into China’s loving arms. Trump is the new world bad guy to countries that used to be our friends.

America, you f**ked up!
She warned us. She had a plan that would have benefited everyday Americans. But too many ignored her—because it was never really about the economy.
Now folks are scared, struggling—and we’re cooked.

Thurmond’s record for longest floor speech (in protest of the Civil Rights Act, no less!) was just broken by a Black man, my good friend Cory Booker.
