"key players in the #Trump regime are spinning #lies and fostering cover-ups, all in the name of crushing #political enemies, silencing dissent, and amassing unchecked power. The difference is that Richard Nixon, despite flirtations with constitutional crisis, did ultimately obey the judiciary. There is little confidence that Trump would do the same, which would signal the end of our #democracy as we’ve known it."

Text from article:
In subsequent cases over the deportations for which the Trump regime cited the 1798 Alien Enemies Act, Reuveni charged that the Justice Department both ignored court orders and made deliberate misrepresentations. In the Abrego Garcia case specifically, Reuveni said higher-ups told him to label the Maryland laborer as “a terrorist,” which he refused to do, telling his boss, “I didn’t sign up to lie.” He was out on administrative leave hours later, then fired.

There is something very Watergate-ish about all of this. Much like all the president’s men back in the early 1970s, key players in the Trump regime are spinning lies and fostering cover-ups, all in the name of crushing political enemies, silencing dissent, and amassing unchecked power. The difference is that Richard Nixon, despite flirtations with constitutional crisis, did ultimately obey the judiciary. There is little confidence that Trump would do the same, which would signal the end of our democracy as we’ve known it.

The smearing of Abrego Garcia, first with irrelevant imperfections from his past, then with the rotting ham of his overbaked indictment, seeks to make this one immigrant essential worker so unpopular that most Americans won’t care that he’s lost his right to due process. But this is exactly how the other 339,999,999 Americans lose their due process, in a moment when Kafka’s works must be moved out of the fiction section.

"Every human on #American soil... is entitled to due process. Period. Nothing is more fundamental to the success of the American Experiment. Which is exactly why... [the #Trump regime] is pulling out every stop to deny #AbregoGarcia his constitutional rights.

That’s because proving their unstoppable power to deny #DueProcess to Abrego Garcia is essential to stripping you of your #HumanRights when the time comes — and that time will come"

@anirvan

Did you know that it's the #GOP #Congress that can actually do something to stop this horror?

"Back to the 50s" is not back to "Leave it to Beaver", "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet" and "Father Knows Best". It's back to preventable diseases the kill and cripple people, as #RFKJr inflicts his bizarre beliefs on the USA, with the full support of #47

#Republicans are about to take huge bites out of the 3rd rail called #Medicare, and #Medicaid.

The resulting shock of election results may finally put an end to the #GOP.

One can always hope and pray they go away. But that won't happen unless we all #vote.
