"If Duterte . . . can be arrested, it serves as a reminder to other populists that legal mechanisms can outlast their reigns. Justice may be slow, but it is not always absent. As the Martin Luther King, Jr. adage goes, the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice."

This administration continues to snub its nose at the rule of law while it bullies the public into submitting to its ideology. As the article notes, "An immigration court can revoke a green card but government departments do not have that power."

"Republicans have control ... and could make any cuts they wanted through the normal course of legislation, but they are not doing so because they know those programs are popular. Instead, they are turning the project over to Musk."

The mineral resources in Ukraine's occupied territories are not Russia's to give away. Selling them and pocketing the profit would be a violation of the law of occupation.

Macron warns against โsurrenderโ in Ukraine as Trump claims Putin will accept peacekeeper deal
Macron and Trump disagree over aid and securing a lasting peace after US president says Russian counterpart has โno problemโ with European forces in Ukraine
โBut when I got here one of the first calls I made was to President Putin ... and they want to end this war, so thatโs a big thing.โ ๐
If Putin wanted to end the war - which he started - he could. He could stop shooting drones and missiles over Ukraine.

โNo notice:' Pregnant VA employee, active counsel among probationary federal workers fired
Probationary federal workers are already being fired from their jobs across federal government departments. A lawyer told News4 what rights employees have and what first steps they can take.
"To lose my healthcare coverage in the middle of my pregnancy and all I get is โbest of luck to youโ is a showcase of civil irresponsibility and a lack of morality for human rights," said one former employee of the Veterans Affairs department.

U.S. Sends 11 Guantรกnamo Prisoners to Oman to Start New Lives (Gift Article)
The secret mission left the smallest number of prisoners at Guantรกnamo Bay since the day the detention center opened in 2002.
"None of the [11] released men had been charged with crimes during their two decades of detention."
Yes, you read that correctly - *twenty years* of detention without being charged with a crime. #GTMO continues to be a stain on our reputation.
