After Marcelo Gomes da Silva was arrested by ICE on his way to volleyball practice in Milford, he made a promise to the men he shared a cell with: He’d be a voice for immigrants unfairly detained.

Today, Trump participates in a swearing-in ceremony for Ben Black to be CEO of the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation. Black criticized the agency USAID for what he described as “mission drift” and questioned funding for initiatives such as gender equity and green energy programs.

Reflecting on the Bush vs Gore Supreme Court ruling. That 2000 ruling written by Anthony Kennedy - 2 former clerks, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, now serve as justices. There's a private club, and the common folk don't belong.
PS. Today is the anniversary of the decision on G. W. Bush's win.

It's not a question of politics or party. Congress has a constitutional obligation to impeach and to remove a president who commits high crimes and misdemeanors and forsakes his solemn oath.
And there has never been a president who has committed as many impeachable offenses than this one.
And there has never been a president who has committed as many impeachable offenses than this one.
There's a Hill bubble narrative, posing as savvy realism, in treating impeachment as some radioactive poison and so Democrats must squash any talk of it. But there's zero evidence for that. No polls back it up, nor recent history. It's all just pundit-brained conventional wisdom eating its own tail.
