A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time: Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves. Q: Why are you running away? Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels. Q: But you’re foxes! Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

We knew right from the start this “Administration” would at best be incompetent, corrupt, heartless, dumb, dishonest and dangerous but what we have here is a next level of uncharted territory of incompetent, corrupt, heartless, dumb, dishonest and dangerous. It is painfully exhausting.

We will not blindly follow illegal orders because Donald Trump wrote them down on a piece of paper. Illinois follows the laws of the land – not the decrees of an aspiring king hell bent on disenfranchising millions of voters who deserve to have their voice heard.

Agree. He has an audience as well. His countrymen don’t want to see their President groveling before a Putin lackey. Their determination is grounded in their national pride. Zelensky powerfully vindicated that today. To see your President stand up to the two greatest powers in the world? Priceless.

It’s nice how they’ve replicated the middle school dynamic of the insecure bully and his sniveling sidekick picking on someone surrounded by a circle of scared little boys who also try to talk shit so the bully doesn’t come after them. Or as the right calls it, “masculinity.”

I think what happened on national TV today was nothing more or less than a trap laid for a key European ally by the Kremlin and the Trump administration. To the extent what we saw felt not only horrifying but borderline traumatizing, I think it is because we saw our country betrayed in real time.

WTAF was Russian media doing in the Oval Office at President Zelensky’s meeting with President Trump??!! A member of Russia’s state-owned news agency gained access to Oval Office on Fri. to cover Trump’s sit-down w/President #Zelensky – even as AP & Reuters were barred from the high-level meeting.
Press clip stating: 

Russian Reporter Escorted from Trump-Zelensky Meeting

During a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House, a reporter from the Russian state media agency TASS was briefly present in the Oval Office. This individual was not on the approved list for the press event. Upon discovery, White House staff escorted the reporter out. The incident has raised questions regarding White House security and media accreditation processes.

Indiana Republicans Move to Ban Student IDs for Voting
The new restriction, paired with Indiana’s stringent voter ID rules, would make it much harder for many young people to vote in a state that already ranks near-last in turnout.
