AOC: If anyone is breaking the law in this situation, it’s not members of Congress — it’s DHS. It’s people like Tom Homan and Secretary Kristi Noem. You lay a finger on Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman or any of the Representatives that were there… we’re going to have a problem.

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

Too many universities have cooperated with an authoritarian government
I would not have predicted that large universities would show more courage than either Big Law or corporate media. Good for them.
