This illustrates how the Supreme Court facilitates presidential authoritarianism. By declining to enforce federal laws that bind the presidentβ€”except for laws it likesβ€”it invites presidents to challenge legal boundaries. Our democracy needs a court that enforces federal law, not one that defies it.

"I want people to be safe and protected. I want to live on the right side of history. I am an immigrant. My parents are refugees from Chile. We fled a dictatorship and I was privileged enough to grow up in the United States after asylum in Denmark. I stand by those protections, always."

AOC: We heard that we should take your word that Medicaid will be protected β€” that we should trust you that no one is going to be affected by this. But as a woman, the word was given that my rights would not be taken away by the Supreme Court β€” and that wasn’t true.

'We're citizens!': Oklahoma City family traumatized after ICE raids home, but they weren't suspects A woman says her family’s fresh start in Oklahoma turned into a nightmare after federal immigration agents raided their home, taking their phones, laptops, and life savings – even though they were …

ICE had a warrant, but the targets had moved out and US citizens were living there.

They and their kids had to stand in the rain in bedclothes while ICE stole their devices and cash as "evidence."

It's only going to get worse.

Russian missiles hit Ukrainian city of Sumy while Palm Sunday celebrations were underway The strikes from two Russian ballistic missiles killed at least 34 people, including two children, and wounded about 117 in the northeastern Ukrainian city of Sumy.

This is murder.
Putin is not a β€œstatesman”- he is a professional murderer from the former KGB.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

Make America Sick Again RFK Jr.’s War on Public Health Is Putting Lives at Risk

The government is slashing public health jobs, gutting vaccine programs, and fueling a measles comeback. This is not reformβ€”it’s sabotage.

JesΓΊs RΓ­os entered the US at a port of entry in 2023 seeking asylum. His wife started the green card process in January.

Like most sent to CECOT, he has no criminal record.

NAVARRO: Because it brings home our domestic manufacturing
