Alejandro Juarez got fired from Trump's National Golf Club Westchester when WaPo exposed that Trump employed undocumented people. Then he got deported by mistake, w/o a hearing, earlier this year. His son is in the military so he might claim status that way.

DHS deceptively spliced images from different cities and times in videos sowing fear about "chaos" in Chicago and Washington, D.C., a WaPo investigation found.
DHS used footage from years ago, half the country away, or even in international waters, the Post found.

They shouldn’t speak—if there are speakers, better to br less partisan civic leaders and citizens—but they should stand in solidarity with the rest of us.

If the proposed Trump $1 coin goes into circulation, believe me, it WILL be defaced.

Tomorrow, we release the Steady State’s assessment of American democracy—written by former national security officials using the same tools once used to evaluate authoritarian regimes abroad. The conclusion is clear: We are facing an existential threat of growing autocracy here in the US.

Rest easy, Gurney. We miss you already.
