“I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.”

Trump administration knew most Venezuelans deported from Texas to a Salvadoran prison had no U.S. convictions Homeland Security records reveal that officials knew that more than half of the 238 deportees to El Salvador were labeled as having no criminal record in the U.S. and had only violated immigration law...

Officials have suggested publicly that, to achieve the president’s goals of deporting millions of immigrants, the administration was considering suspending habeas corpus, the longstanding constitutional right allowing people to challenge their detention.

Thank you

We’ve Officially Entered the Next Phase of Trump’s Dictatorship Era Taken together, these actions and declarations amount to a significant escalation in Trump’s transformation of his own presidency into an autocracy.

For those folks who have been waiting to climb the pole and ring the “constitutional crisis” bell, it would appear we have arrived. Neither Judge Sorokin nor Judge Boasberg believed that he was signing a meaningless order, and both judges demanded compliance that never came.

I told you all @jeffbezos was feral. He’s now killed the Graham/Bradlee legacy of justice, the First Amendment and basic humanity in a vomitous spew of nonsense, testosterone fueled (and HGH) double talk that is more than a little pathetic and utterly shameless.

Republicans are more afraid of Trump then their own constituents. How is this any different than a garden-variety dictatorship?

Opinion: The American Press Corps Is Not Equipped For This Moment We’ve never had to contend with a determined autocrat in this country, and it shows.

I laughed way too hard. 😭
