Congress literally created an Alien Terrorist Removal Court for the expeditious removal of aliens who are designated as terrorists, under a preponderance of evidence standard.
I think problem isn’t the time it would take, but the fact that the government would have to produce actual evidence

I don't think there's precedent for this level of open corruption at the federal level, certainly not in the last 100+ years.
SCOOP: Business leaders are paying as much as $5,000,000 to meet one-on-one with President Donald Trump at his Florida compound, sources tell WIRED, while others are paying $1,000,000 apiece to dine with him in a group setting.

I did not anticipate how quickly people would move to comply with Trump. Makes it much easier for an aspiring authoritarian when so many potential obstacles are removed preemptively - billionaires bend the knee, Meta changes its policies, Wray resigns, Barr resigns, DOJ drops the cases against Trump
✔️ Money to the Trump inaugural
✔️ Dinner at Mar-a-Lago
✔️ Getting rid of fact-checking
✔️ Putting UFC's Dana White (a key Trump ally) on Meta's board
Hard not to see these moves as an effort to avoid being politically targeted by an illiberal president.

My prescription for building a new opposition:
1. Prioritize effective campaigns to elect Democrats.
2. Be a big tent of new policy ideas.
3. Build new institutions.
4. Embrace new communication methods and messengers.
5. Use every legal tool available.
