A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred.

We can speculate all day about the potential perils of shutting down the government vs. give Trump/Elon a blank check CR to decimate it all, including our social security and Medicaid.

It's a simpler choice.

We can either go down fighting on our feet or compliant on our knees.

I want the fight.

I truly hope that one silver lining we take from this coup is that voters begin to understand that when you vote for president, you’re not just selecting one person. You’re selecting all the judges they’ll appoint, and the entire cabinet.

Judge Chuang is mulling whether to grant a preliminary injunction in a suit alleging that DOGE violates the Appointments Clause.

He asked the government to file documents that reflect who authorized certain actions related to the dismantling of USAID.

Some of the responses are..interesting. 1/

Some of us have been saying this since 2020 and even before: Dems should make corruption *the* central issue in US politics and public life and go on the offensive against GOP/MAGA/Trump transparent and hypocritical corruption and grifting. Most voters hate corruption.

WTF
DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America.

Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

the thing about chasing what you think is public opinion is that if and when things turn you will have made a bunch of statements and taken a bunch of stances that you’ll have to disavow. probably a better strategy just to say what you actually believe and stand by it. anyway, this guy sucks.

Again, given the way DOJ keeps asking for delays, I think there's good reason to wonder whether the DOGE boys broke something at USAID and they're trying to buy time to put it back together again.
In the report, the parties "were unable to come to an agreement" on compliance.

Plaintiffs, more or less, say payments should be issued by March 10.

DOJ says payments to plaintiffs "within 10 working days," nonparties' payments "expected" from State within 2 weeks and USAID in 30-45 business days.

They want more than a pardon. They want history rewritten. And that might happen.
More than 1,500 Jan. 6 defendants are hoping President-elect Donald Trump will grant them pardon.

Many have accused prosecutors of inflating the charges against them, despite copious video and other evidence.
The fate of nearly 1,600 Jan. 6 defendants depends on Donald Trump
President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to pardon many defendants accused or convicted of crimes related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

At the time, everyone, including Republicans, understood how bad it was. Then, brick by brick, they built a foundation of lies to justify doing what they know, deep down, to be wrong. Trump betrayed the country. And so do they.

And incidentally, ONE REASON I said it was important to blame John Roberts rather than Merrick Garland for Trump not going to trial, aside from it being true & blaming Garland requires y'all making shit up, is so ROBERTS gets held accountable for these pardons.
