They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.”
In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.

When Sen. Mark Warner, vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, and an experienced and sober legislator, is alarmed, we should all be alarmed. Both by the boat strikes, and more broadly by what the Trump administration is doing to our national security.

As difficult as it is to wrest free from a lawless autocratic regime, in the uncertain event that this occurs, it is at least as difficult to reconstitute a lawful functioning one. It has rarely been done without substantial and lengthy turmoil and strife.

See also: university presidents/administrators, editors/journalists at the papers/networks of record, CEOs, etc. etc. The skills that secured peak elite status in every societal institution pre-2025 are precisely those least suited for countering a far right authoritarian threat to the Republic.
Personnel is policy is politics: the skills needed to become a senior Democrat, and the life experiences associated with being one, furnish neither the tools to respond to an authoritarian takeover nor a sufficiently visceral understanding of the stakes.

Hakeem Jeffries will never lead the Dems where they need to go in order to help the people.
He will choose restoration over reform because he has been groomed by the Establishment.

You never have to hand it to Trump. There is no rational reason to say the border is more secure now under Trump
Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

We had 4 years to try to fix it already and no one was held accountable, leading to the restoration of the autocracy. And that was with Democratic majorities in both the House and the Senate.

The fascists won temporarily, but fascism is for losers. They'll fail. They are con men and swindlers. And when they do lose, we make a real democracy. The kind they hate. Their "creative destruction" will be democracy rising.
