Trump ending the Medicare Part D subsidy program that millions of seniors to rely on is proof that he cares more about privatizing Medicare than he cares about seniors and families. Always money for war. Never money for health care. It's a grift and I'll be fighting back.

This is a good reminder that some "voluntary" departures people sign while detained by ICE are the product of coercion. The worst incidents I've heard of over the years involve agents grabbing a person's hands and forcing them to sign a piece of paper they can't read; it's a "voluntary" removal.
Senator Patty MurrayICE agents threatened to beat up a Seattle small business owner, married to a citizen, with NO criminal record unless he signed a "voluntary" departure. I'm told there were cameras in the room. I'm demanding any video and that Eduardo be brought home immediately.

This. In my view, the current Comey indictment is more than sufficient to create a reasonable belief that Fauci would be prosecuted for perjury no matter what he testified to today.
Charlie SavageSeeing people confused about Fauci taking the Fifth even though he was pre-emptively pardoned by Biden. Pardons only cover past conduct; they don't immunize future lawbreaking. Fauci's claim is Trump II DOJ would gin up a perjury investigation into him based on anything he says today.
Whew. Judge Ho decided to jump from reasonable on something to patently unhinged.
Lawrence HurleyHo, pre-Trump, wrote an article embracing the broad, long-accepted reading of the 14th Amendment's citizenship clause. Now: "So the Supreme Court should have upheld the President's birthright citizenship order in full based on his invasion declaration."
Not even Trump’s. own. lawyers. made the invasion argument.

If the people of Alabama elect this guy for governor, they deserve the forthcoming hell they're going to get.
Aaron RuparTuberville: "I'll be the governor of Alabama and I promise you we will find out if there's a possibility that we can bring him to Alabama to put him in front of a court and a jury to see if we can put this guy in prison. He killed millions of people, folks."

It’s entirely possible to have two thoughts at once. What Fauci is doing is tactically what he should be doing, and nobody will fault him for making those choices. What Fauci is doing is an invitation to possibly undermining the democratic functions of Congress, if there’s no limiting principle.
Fred, His Enemy Getting a VoteI'm not sure the law professors are going to make it. The collapse of their civilization already happened. We're all trying to figure out which pieces are left.
The Supreme Court invited exactly this when it held that the president's attempt to conduct "sham" "investigations" was a core executive power immune from all regulation, including criminal prosecution, in Trump v. United States.

Comey were told to send details of the interview to Air Force One so President Trump could review them....One government document said that 'POTUS was requesting a copy of the interview notes to use in his 6pm press conference.'"
