I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

What happened today reeks of insider trading. Trump’s tweet wasn’t random—it was a signal. Someone cashed in, and the public deserves to know who and how much. Follow. The. Money. “This entire White House is one giant grift.” —Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social shining a spotlight on it! 🔥

Musk has sicced his followers on the WSJ writer who reported on a DOGE staffer’s racist online, history demanding her firing. This is a tactic Silicon Valley’s neoreactionaries have been advocating for years: Pick a reporter, dox and harrass, make an example of them, make everyone else afraid.

The problem with Elon is we can't fire him because we never hired him. And we can't impeach him because we never put him in office. But the DC police can arrest him as a private citizen for trespassing next time he barges into federal offices without legit authorization.

So Elon's DOGE clowns are: (1) gathering up a bunch of federal employee data; (b) creating new computer systems to house all that data; and (c) seeking access to incredibly sensitive federal payment systems. All while high on ketamine (probably). Not a CI risk at all.
