Thought crimes.
Sec. of State Marco Rubio has written in a memo that Mahmoud Khalil is subject to deportation because “the alien's past, current, or expected beliefs” have “potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States.”
His position is potential thoughts are grounds for deportation

With Marine Le Pen being imprisoned for embezzlement, it almost makes you think the far right are all just crooked self-serving grifters who can’t be trusted. I'm just glad we don’t have anyone like that in this country…

This is ugly: Trump's DOJ has effectively informed immigration judges in a new memo that they can no longer rely on rules that protect against arbitrary firing. This lays groundwork for removing them if they rule the "wrong" way too often.

A new DOJ memo argues that immigration judges can be stripped of civil-service protections. That could lay the groundwork for firing them if they don’t rule the “right” way.

never give one inch of ground on Reagan, a monster for whose grave even the most fetid piss is too good
The Vietnam vets I was in a homeless camp with were there because Reagan axed the mental health programs.
My uncle is now just a name on a giant quilt.
Reagan’s miniscule soul can burn in hell and I will dance on the ashes.

Don't respond to a gay man who grew up in the '80s and '90s by telling him that talking about being thankful for a Reagan presidency is a smart strategy. Because, fuck that.

BREAKING — FEMA Acting Chief Counsel Joshua Stanton has been put on administrative leave & walked out of the building after being given the role *just last week*, an agency source tells me.
Previous chief counsel Adrian Sevier had been with FEMA since 2000 and was office's longest-serving chief.

Trump says for farmers "there may be a little bit of an adjustment period," admitting that they are going to be absolutely screwed by his trade war.
He ends with "have a lot of fun" which is an interesting way of saying "I may just drive you into bankruptcy, too bad suckers."
