To speed up mass deportations, the Trump administration didn't just launch raids—it stripped $200M+ from nonprofit legal aid groups, bringing them to the brink of collapse. Here’s how immigrant legal defense barely survived the campaign to kneecap them:

First Trump came for immigrants. Then he came for their lawyers.
How legal aid groups survived the administration's attacks—barely.

Adam Hoffman was charged with sexually abusing a child and was facing life in prison. Ken Paxton tried to give him a sweetheart deal with only one day served in prison. Ken Paxton is a danger to our kids and belongs nowhere near the Senate.

This pattern stands in contrast to the idea of Trumpism’s irresistible march towards consolidated authoritarian rule. It should be a reminder: Being lawless, immoral, and violent does not make the Trumpists omnipotent.

Trump said his GOP convention beat the NFL. Nielsen says the Seahawks-Patriots opener drew 25.1 million viewers. Trump’s speech drew about 3.3 million across three networks. Claiming victory after losing by roughly 21.8 million people takes a special kind of self delusion.
