All four refused to admit that Trump lost the 2020 election. They will soon be federal judges for life!!! Look how young they are too! This is why we will never be able to "return to normal" after Trump is gone. The seeds of authoritarianism are being sowed for a generation!!
Another batch of Trump's judicial nominees refused in their confirmation hearings today to publicly acknowledge that Joe Biden won the 2020 election, which annoyed Sen. Richard Blumenthal enough for him to call them "monkeys" and "puppets"

The Trump regime has a record number of detainees in concentration camps, and they are busy expanding the concentration camp network to more than double current capacity. People of color are being randomly stopped on the street and violently, often at gunpoint, snatched away and sent into the camps.

If you're rich you get a tax cut, if you're not you have to work longer and harder. Populism! bsky.app/profile/atru...
Dr Oz: "If we could get the average American to start working a year earlier, right out of high school, or a year later -- not retire -- or work better during their lifetime because they're healthy, it would generate about $3 trillion to the US economy. That would more than remove the debt."

!["On December 2, 1783, then-Commander-in-Chief George Washington penned: “America is open to receive not only the Opulent & respected Stranger, but the oppressed & persecuted of all Nations & Religions.”1
More than two centuries later, Congress reaffirmed President Washington’s vision by establishing the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program. See 8 U.S.C. § 1254a (TPS statute). It provides humanitarian relief to foreign nationals in the United States who come from disaster-stricken countries. It also brings in substantial revenue, with TPS holders generating $5.2 billion in taxes annually. See Part VI.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem has a different take. [screenshot of tweet].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nwnlnixtjh3qhkwpz2uy5uwv/bafkreicrroq5taft777rmau2ffjlsphbcatlxnwwigf2yekoke533yycim@jpeg)
![has terminated every TPS country designation to have reached her desk—twelve countries up,
twelve countries down. See Section IV.A.2. Her conclusion that Haiti (a majority nonwhite
country) faces merely “concerning” conditions cannot be squared with the “perfect storm of
suffering” and “staggering” “humanitarian toll” described in page-after-page of the Certified
Administrative Record (CAR). See Section IV.A.3.a. She ignored Congress’s requirement that
she “review the conditions” in Haiti only “after” consulting “with appropriate agencies.” 8
U.S.C. § 1254a(b)(3)(A); see Section IV.A.1. Indeed, she did not consult other agencies at all.
See id. Her “national interest” analysis focuses on Haitians outside the United States or here
illegally, ignoring that Haitian TPS holders already live here, and legally so. See Section
IV.A.3.b. And though she states that the analysis must include “economic considerations,” she
ignores altogether the billions Haitian TPS holders contribute to the economy. See id.
The Government’s primary response is that the TPS statute gives the Secretary
unbounded discretion to make whatever determination she wants, any way she wants. And, yes,
the statute does grant her some discretion. But not unbounded discretion. To the contrary,
Congress passed the TPS statute to standardize the then ad hoc temporary protection system—to
replace executive whim with statutory predictability. See Section I.A.
As to irreparable harm, the Government contends that, at most, the harms to Haitian TPS
holders are speculative. But the Department of State (State) warns [screenshot]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nwnlnixtjh3qhkwpz2uy5uwv/bafkreid3cmawech25ummuj2tjvgxsrvufma2kmrijlfpglalwddd3qkikq@jpeg)

We need to seize this framing and build it out so it is the theme of the summer, in light of the 250th anniversary of 1776. Trump is going to try so hard to appropriate this for himself, but we need to make it about the renewal of our common revolutionary ideals versus the tyranny of the king.
Great point from @virginiaheffernan.bsky.social: The spectacle of ordinary people in Minneapolis courageously protecting each other from the ICE invasion is itself inspiring and contrasts powerfully with Miller/Bovino totalitarian cruelties.

They talk and act like it's a military occupation, are equiped in full battle gear brandishing assault rifles, they've executed 2 people in the community, and they keep complaining they can't eat at a restaurant?!?!
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?
HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

I thought we were supposed to tolerate children being murdered in schools, so we have the right to carry guns to protect ourselves against a tyrannical government sending masked goons into our neighborhoods to snatch and murder people?! Or is that exclusively a MAGA right?

I will add, don't get wedded to issues now. Current issue salience won't mean shit in 9-10 months. Remember, 10 months ago, we were all talking about DOGE and eggs and the Gulf of America.
I will repeat: It is not obvious, based on the data, that campaigning on the economy in Nov would be significantly more effective than campaigning on immigration. Gov. policy is dramatically out of step with the public on immigration/deportations, and executive overreach is a potent motivator
