Ashli Babbitt was a domestic terrorist who attempted to overthrow our government via a violent insurrection at our nation’s Capitol. The administration agreeing to pay her family $5 million of taxpayer money is disgraceful.

Pence: "They support Hamas. They supported Al Qaeda. Qatar has actually financed pro-Hamas protests on college campuses across the US. So the very idea we would accept an Air Force One from Qatar I think is inconsistent with our security, intelligence needs, & my hope is the president reconsiders."

“Just say yes”
This exchange is so very telling.

Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this:

"I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

This has to be the most brazenly corrupt act in the history of the American presidency.

Trump is holding a contest to see who can pay him the most money and the prize is direct access to the president

It is literal pay-to-play

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.

The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.
