Especially that president-for-life thing. Trump to Xi years ago: I call him King. You are president for life, therefore you are a king.

"There's nothing else that I can do." Republicans ripped away the tax credits that kept Kara's coverage affordable. She'd already sold her house of 17 years to pay for her care. Now she's out of options. Americans are sick of it.

'FULL HORROR' Rep. Brendan Boyle on the 16 MILLION projected to lose health care because of Trump-GOP cuts. Republicans gutted health care to fund billionaire tax cuts. Americans are sick of paying more and getting less.

Morning Joe: We warned Republicans every day, while they were considering voting for that bill, that if they did it, they were going to savage rural health care. They did it because they had to give tax cuts to millionaires, like Roger Marshall, billionaires, and multinational corporations.

We've all heard how corrupt Ken Paxton is. But he is also incredibly stupid if he thinks this "well, he served 60 whole days" excuse for releasing Adam Hoffman, who sexually abused a boy over a three-year period starting when he was 8.

"The Supreme Court’s decision Friday to revive the Trump administration’s expanded SAVE database for the midterms also suggests the justices may be eager to weaken one of federal law’s most important safeguards against last-minute voter purges." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

In SAVE ruling, Supreme Court signals path to weaken key protection against last-minute purges
A crucial voter protection could hinge on whether the Supreme Court wants to narrow the definition of “systematic” as applied to purges. And there’s reason to fear that it does.

Dozens of migrants on Omni ICE flights may have been shackled for more than 73 hours in October and more than 80 hours in December, leaving some elderly deportees too weak to walk. Flight data backs this up. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
A man deported to Laos in October told me he was shackled for 73 hours after his Omni plane unexpectedly returned to Louisiana, which flight data confirms. He and nearly 200 others were kept restrained overnight before a second takeoff; at least 20 elder deportees were so weak from sleeping on the floor that they needed to be pushed across the tarmac in wheelchairs and carried to their airplane seats, he said. 

Flight data shows an Omni ICE flight out of El Paso made a similar return in December before restarting its deportation journey. An immigration attorney told me a Vietnamese client onboard was shackled for more than 80 hours.

In May 1939, Hitler “gave” Oswald Mosley’s sister-in-law Unity Mitford a Munich apartment as a “gift,” and she toured four properties literally as the Jewish occupants stood in the hallway and wept
In 1939, Unity was back at Berchtesgaden, spending the night of 6-7 May at the Berghof itself." She had earlier made it known that she was looking for an apartment in Munich and Hitler ordered Heß to make the necessary arrangements; she was offered a choice of four apartments, all confiscated from Jews in the aftermath of the Kristallnacht pogrom. She inspected them all — at least two still housed their dispossessed owners - and selected Agnesstraße 26, Apartment 4. However, for some reason, she still continued to live with Hanfstaengl's wife Hélène, at a farmhouse in the Obersalzberg. But Putzi had fled the country in disgrace and on
9 June 1939, Hitler forbade her to stay any longer in the Hanfstaengl household, insisting that she move into her Munich apartment immediately, and offering to pay for new furnishings. Alas, we do not know whether this offer was accepted.
