President Trump asserted on Tuesday that undocumented immigrants should not be entitled to trials, insisting that his administration should be able to deport them without appearing before a judge.

Trump Says Undocumented Immigrants Shouldn’t Get Trials Before Deportation
The president claimed that countries were sending their prisoners to the United States and that he needed to bypass the constitutional demands of due process to expel them quickly.

@mikeinacay.bsky.social & @schatz.bsky.social I know there’s not much to be done legislatively. Why not pick fights that make 2026 easier. Complain about social media algorithms not being fair to Dems. Start attacking purple GOP Senators for not standing up to the chaos. ETC

“You know why Trump arrested Khalil first? Precisely because he’s not the most sympathetic figure. His views are bigoted and extreme. I certainly don’t want to be in the business of defending him. But that’s the thing about freedom: You have to defend it for everyone, or it applies to no one.”

When Trump tries to postpone elections at some point one argument his people will make is, “But Zelensky postponed elections and you didn’t think that made him a dictator.” Just get ready for that. It’s coming.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

Feel like we need to start developing a different form of posting here. Ones which don't chase the new but restate what matters. Like: None of these "cuts" Musk is doing are legal. None. He has no authority to cut, dissolve, fire, vaporize. He's an extraordinary criminal, a traitor to the US.
