Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal. Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration. See how this works?

The U.S. Postal Service has quietly begun assisting Trump's 'mass deportation' effort, sources and records show www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
The law enforcement arm of the U.S. Postal Service has quietly begun cooperating with federal immigration officials to locate people suspected of being in the country illegally, according to two people familiar with the matter and documents obtained by The Washington Post — dramatically broadening the scope of the Trump administration’s government-wide mass deportation campaign.The U.S. Postal Inspection Service, a little-known police and investigative force for the mail agency, recently joined a Department of Homeland Security task force geared toward finding, detaining and deporting undocumented immigrants, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of professional reprisals.

Immigration officials are seeking photographs of the outside of envelopes and packages — an Inspection Service program known as “mail covers” — and access to the postal investigation agency’s broad surveillance systems, including Postal Service online account data, package- and mail-tracking information, credit card data and financial material and IP addresses, the people said.

Even if you assume that alien enemies don't have constitutional rights (they do), the owners of the private property do. There is no way anyone can enter a private property without a warrant just because they suspect an alien enemy may be inside. Show a judge your probable cause & get a warrant!

When voters learn the facts of Trump's misrule, they respond. Trump's been losing independents, who decide elections, on the economy for weeks. As Trump's immigration "policy" is revealed to be performative sadism and brazen attacks on the rule of law, he's losing ground on that issue as well.

This is why we have due process; because random people speculating about things is a terrible way to run a government. Without due process, we're all just vigilantes. At its core, that's what this is about. Due process and the rule of law. Everything else is window dressing.

A picture puzzle with nine comic strip frames in three rows of three.
On the first row (left to right): the first frame features the faded image of turkey rail feathers with the quote bubble of “ladylike7”; the second frame has a faded red barbed wire heart; the third frame has the faded image of a turkey.
The second row (again left to right): A faded image of an office wall with a large red arrow pointing to the right on the wall. Above the arrow is a thought bubble with the text “GuiltyWays”. A quote bubble in this first frame reads “auspice5”. There is another quote bubble near the top of the arrow which is blank. Above the blank quote bubble is a capital O monogram in bold black; in the second frame a graphic of a ladder leaning up to the left side of the frame, pointing towards the tip of the red arrow and resting against the left edge of the frame just below the black capital O; the third frame consist of the graphic of a single brow eye with prominent black eye lashes. Above the graphic of the eye a quote bubble reads “Club Ramble”.
In the third row: the first frame has the image of the same turkey as in the first row but this time the image is very clear with the left eye of the turkey faving back towards his tail feathers and at the viewer. There is a quote bubble which reads “Optics1”; In the second frame a bright red comic graphic reads “SaintScan”. Below this at the bottom of the frame is a graphic reading “hand crafted” with a pair of hands each holding the end of a piece of string which creates the word “hand” between them; in the third and final frame is the chemical symbol for iridium with the faded graphic of a gun target such as one might see in a rifle scope when viewing a target.
The background frame of this comic strip word puzzle graduates from black on the left to a British khaki on the right.
