When you remove the ability to enforce the law, you remove the necessity to obey the law. That is a double edged sword.

If you know anyone who has had a life changing stroke, you know they are extremely vulnerable to manipulation. Filters are gone to various degrees. Fetterman is not the same man that he was before the stroke. Forget Politics, he is not the same man he was. I feel for his family. What do they do?

I think Fetterman is a victim.

Fetterman accepted Trump’s invitation to MAL for a little golf and a chat. Fetterman came back a different Man. Do you think Trump uses the same drug laced baby oil as Diddy does? I mean we know they film the massages but do you think this is how Epstein did it as well? Yeah, this is how it is done.

Speaker Johnson needs to stop being on vacation, admit that Americans need healthcare assistance, strike the draconian health cuts from the ugly budget bill, and get back to work so he can swear in Arizona's newly elected Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva.

Vladeck: Even if you accept the predicate that these drug cartels are foreign terrorist organizations, that still doesn’t get you anywhere close to legal authority to use military force. They’re trying to blur and sort of collapse the distinction between two regimes we have…

The Christian right has long supported Israel not because they support American Jews or Israelis but because they believe total Jewish control of the region is a precondition for the Second Coming of Christ who would then rule the world from there.

Feds Say Kat Abughazaleh “Impeded” ICE Agents. That Would Put Her on the Right Side of History.

If six people nonviolently protesting outside an ICE facility is a criminal conspiracy, all First Amendment-protected activity is at risk.

Feds Say Kat Abughazaleh “Impeded” ICE Agents. That Would Put Her on the Right Side of History.

Kat Abughazaleh allegedly protested in Broadview, Illinois, where ICE was “forced to drive at an extremely slow rate of speed,” feds said.

DHS czar Kristi Noem testified:
"Habeas corpus is a
constitutional right that the
president has to be able
to remove people from
this country."
Nope.
Habeas corpus protects
each of us from unlawful
imprisonment &
guarantees we can go to
court to review our
detention.

Swear her in. Release the Epstein Files.

Ettingermentum writes: “Actually what on earth is in those files bro.”
The image from Courier Newsroom headline reads: “Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva is now the longest Rep-elect in history to not be sworn in. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear in Rep-elect Grijalva over fear of releasing the Epstein files.”
The picture shows Grijalva in a red jacket beside Speaker Mike Johnson.

To be abundantly clear, ICE is violating everyone’s constitutional rights, citizens and non citizens alike.

The coup leaders commanding this ongoing illegitimate brutality want us to forget that core fact.

It’s intentional confusion arising out of the chaos they create.

Stay focused.
