NEW: @aclu.org obtained ICE's "Alien Enemies Act Validation Guide," confirming all it takes to be sent to rot in prison in El Salvador is being Venezuelan and 1) having a tattoo an ICE officer says is a "gang tattoo" and 2) displaying "logos," "symbols" or clothes an ICE officer says are gang signs.

Tates getting seized cars and properties back, says spokesman, as they fly to Florida - live updates The brothers are still under investigation and face trial on allegations of rape and trafficking minors, all of which they deny.

The Trump administration pressured foreign governments to send us individuals awaiting trial for rape and human trafficking… I thought we didn’t want other countries to send us their worst criminals. This is all very confusing! www.bbc.com/news/live/c7...

Judge orders Trump administration to temporarily reinstate foreign aid funding President Donald Trump last month signed an executive order that issued a blanket pause on U.S. foreign aid.

BREAKING: A judge has ordered the Trump administration to temporarily allow the disbursement of foreign aid.

Where are the adults? There is a crises of courage. None of his staff could tell the emperor he is wearing no clothes and that his Cheeto stinks?

And 100% tariffs on goods bought via Amazon please.

“People Will Die”: The Trump Administration Said It Lifted Its Ban on Lifesaving Humanitarian Aid. That’s Not True.

Ben says, “Mom, we don’t live in the 1900s anymore”? It’s true, but he wins ever argument because my brain immediately looses track of what we are discussing and conjures images buggies and floral dresses.

Steve Brannon, convicted criminal and former Trump Chief Strategist, often said flood the zone with shit. I didn’t realize he meant top cabinet posts. May we all stay safe despite the alleged abusive alcoholic sexual offendor confirmed to run the DOD.

So hypothetically, if a president takes an oath to defend the constitution, and within 24 hours produces an executive order that attempts to void the 14th amendment of the constitution, is that impeachable? Would the republicans in congress have the courage to defend the constitution?
