"Emergency Orders" aren't fully debated before the whole court, have limited if any oral argument, and are issued with only brief, if any, explanations. The Trump court loves them. Now that they're back in session they have to face them.

It's hilarious that the same people who claim that their families never owned slaves and their family came here as immigrants get upset when someone posts the truth about America's racist & violent past.

Why do they agree to erase history they had nothing to do with? 🤔

It’s catching. No one in the Trump Regime understands percentages. According to Fake Dr Oz drugs will be free with a rebate of 650%? So a $10 script will get $6500 back? Wow. Pharmaceutical companies are gonna need a bigger truck. My 7 prescriptions will pay off my house. #ProudBlue

www.politico.com/news/2025/10... #ProudBlue. The Trump Regimes quest to deport Abrego Garcia to an African country where he would be thrown in a prison never to be seen again has ran out of steam. No African nation will accept Garcia leaving the Regime very little options for his deportation.

Trump administration has failed to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Africa

Three African nations won’t accept the Salvadoran native, who was already deported illegally once and then brought back to the U.S.

Shortly after Sinaloa Drug Cartel heads entered plea deals in July/August, forfeited $80M, had family placed in protective custody…Trump bombs 1st of several boats in Caribbean. No confirmation who was killed, if drugs were onboard. Is Trump’s “intel” coming from convicted Sinaloa Cartel members?
