Where Does Kilmar Abrego Garcia Get His Due Process? The Trump administration’s admitted “error” could have been avoided if they’d followed the rules.

"If the admittedly mistaken word of someone somewhere in the vast government bureaucracy is enough to pluck a man from Maryland and deliver him to a foreign prison in mere days—what is there to protect lawful immigrants, American citizens, or anyone?"

🚨 NEW: VoteVets is launching a six-figure ad blitz across TV, streaming, digital, and billboards—exposing GOP Veterans dodging constituents while Musk’s DOGE fires thousands of Veterans.

San Francisco deli voted best in state: report (KRON) – Another San Francisco establishment has been named best in the state by recipe magazine “Taste of Home.”  For more than a century, Molinari Delicatessen says its mission is to “keep Italian-American culture alive in SF.” Located in SF’s North Beach neighborhood, the deli literally has salami hanging from the ceiling. With gourmet sandwiches [...]

Putting up fake candidates is a tactic recommended by Russian political theorists to trick people into voting away their democracy.

The 14th Amendment granted citizenship for those born or naturalized in the U.S. - including the formerly enslaved.

Chipping away at the 14th is a threat to ALL - immigrant families, naturalized citizens, and millions of descendants of those held in the bonds of slavery.

I'm absolutely ready to fight back. And if the rightwing media thinks it will intimidate me to back down by writing these stories, they are wrong.

I know the truth. They hate me because I fight. They fear me because I win.

Trump’s New Team Is a Gift to America’s Enemies Their incompetence will weaken the United States. Their instability will leave them vulnerable to being compromised.

"From Trump’s point of view, a cabinet composed of people with such baggage is a cabinet that will remain loyal to him. But from the point of view of America’s enemies, this is like Christmas morning."

SCOTUS sidesteps case about school gender policy — but Alito calls for action In a dissent Monday, Justice Alito called for the court to take action that would send more far-right cases to the justices. And: More on the push to clear federal death row.

What was Alito up to in the case over a school’s gender identity policy? SCOTUS turned down the case, but that didn’t stop Alito from spouting anti-trans propaganda — or from urging the court to change standing rules to let more far-right cases get before the justices.

Democrats Still Haven’t Figured Out How to Attack Trump Over the course of the decade, the party has hoped that voters would simply reject him as immoral, uncouth, and unfit for office. They need a stronger argument—and his Cabinet picks give them one.

Instead of making plans to join a partisan scrap, many Democrats are signaling that they think their best move is to kiss up and play nice.

The 2012 GOP "inquest" was willfully blind on same point. GOP donors demanded no retreat on anti-Obamacare radicalism, so deluded themselves that voters would forgive loss of health insurance if they got more immigration instead.
"Less of what you want, more of what you don't!"
