People who say Kilmar Abrego García won't make it back to the US act like they're the only ones who thought of that possibility, they don't mention the larger implications regarding due process, and they seem to want people to give up. We can NEVER give up.

It’s worth stating this simply: For literally anyone in the US Govt from 1945 to 2025, Signalgate would require an instant resignation—and a criminal investigation. It would be a matter of personal *honor* to resign. The fact Mike Waltz & Pete Hegseth are choosing to fight it out is a terrible omen.
