If we don't want to repeat history, we'd better be strong enough to learn from it. The authoritarian playbook starts with pointing to a group of people who don’t look like you and blaming them for your problems. When those issues are still there, what comes next?

This is Kristi Noem admitting that Homeland Security is currently occupying Los Angeles, not to protect citizens, but for purely *political* reasons. Yes, she really is that stupid.

The Dems really, really, *really* need to make Miller the face of the administration, the way Musk was until recently. He’s hugely unlikeable and has the potential to create major drag if he is out front and center.

HUGE. A direct rebuke to the Trump administration's practice of shoving people onto planes: "Under these circumstances, notice roughly 24 hours before removal, devoid of information about how to exercise due process rights to contest that removal, surely does not pass muster."
The Government does not contest before this Court the applicants’ description of the notice afforded to AEA detainees in the Northern District of Texas, nor the assertion that the Government was poised to carry out removals imminently. The Government has represented elsewhere that itis unable to provide for the return of an individual deported in error to a prison in El Salvador, see Abrego Garcia v. Noem, No. 25−cv−951 (D Md.), ECF Docs. 74, 77, where itis alleged that detainees face indefinite detention, see Application for Injunction 11. The detainees’ interests at stake are accordingly particularly weighty. Under these circumstances, notice roughly 24 hours before removal, de-void of information about how to exercise due process rights to contest that removal, surely does not pass muster.

After months of baseless claims about “extreme levels of fraud” within Social Security, Musk's DOGE has found only 2 likely fraudulent claims out of over 110,000—that makes it a rate of .0018%. So DOGE found virtually no fraud and made an integral American system less efficient.

Two Naval Academy faculty members have resigned, and 18 more have taken early retirement. One was offered a place of honor at the annual dedication parade. He declined, telling the academy’s superintendent:
He cited a line all incoming students had to memorize when he began his studies there 55 years ago: “Where principle is involved, be deaf to expediency.”

“No matter what you have done before,” he wrote, “your legacy will be that of a careerist who banned Maya Angelou but retained Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf.’”

Laura Loomer—who recently met with Donald Trump in the Oval Office and influenced the firings of top national security officials—suggests that removing people from the United States without due process isn’t so extreme when compared to the alternative: simply shooting them to death on sight.
Laura Loomer: In most countries, when you cross into the country illegally, you're shot to death on site.
Trump is gracious. Democrats should be happy he's deporting the illegals on planes.
There's always alternatives. Just look at how trespassers are treated on other foreign borders.

Gilbert, whose time in the military left him disabled, relies on his local Veterans Affairs hospital for health care. He’s nervous about how the Department of Government Efficiency’s cuts to VA might impact him. But it was García’s deportation — and the Trump administration’s refusal to facilitate his return — that brought Gilbert to D.C. on Saturday.
