Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important:

He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.

Donald Trump is not a king, and Congress is not powerless.

Republicans have a choice to make.

They can continue to bow down to Donald Trump while he sabotages our economy, or they can stand up for the American people who elected them and vote to end this tariff game.

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody.

She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care.

This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

The Trump regime and DOGE are rolling out this playbook to attack Social Security — one of the most popular and effective government programs.

They're deliberately sabotaging it by firing SSA workers and cutting services.

Why? Because they don't want it to work.

And congressional Republicans are fine with it
When you really distill down what's going on here, the president is asserting an unreviewable power to seize any person off the street and ship him to a dungeon abroad. The constitutional crisis is here. ICYMI @corbinkbarthold.bsky.social:

By shipping men to a Salvadoran prison without due process, the Trump administration has begun defying court orders in earnest.

Presidents are not kings.

And we are not powerless.

In Congress and the courts—with protests and local organizing—we can expose the radicalism of Trump nominees, show how his actions hurt real people, obstruct his agenda, and put checks on his lawlessness. I will keep fighting.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.

Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.

Funny how that works, huh?

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
