We've become the monsters we used to hunt. At least two of the men released from CECOT needed help getting off the plane and were put in wheelchairs because of the physical torture they endured. DOJ actions. And the evangelicals cheer for this.
RFK JR: You're making things up to scare people. And it's a lie. Hassan: With respect, I do not think I'm the one making things up.
WARNER: Do you accept the fact that 1 million Americans died from covid? RFK Jr: I don't know how many died W: You're the secretary of health and human services. You don't have any idea how many Americans died from covid? RFK Jr: I don't think anybody knows that W: How can you be that ignorant?

😢 If I did that, I'd spend the night in the bathroom,
I'm aware that the President likes to go on television and beg me to call him to ask for troops. I find it strange, as Chicago doesn't want troops. I also have experience asking him for assistance – just to have the rug pulled up from underneath me when execution meets reality.
🤣
That was last night. Tonight is tomorrow already.

Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, especially something we don't want? Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?
I was in bed by 10:30 last time and slept (with a couple of brief breaks) until almost 7:00 this morning. So why am I tired today. Time for a nap.

RFK Jr gives Republicans a chance to defy Trump on easy mode By @nberlat.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...
Let us be clear: there is no emergency in Chicago that warrants the President of the United States deploying the military. I joined Senators Duckworth and Durbin and 10 Members of Congress from IL to demand that Trump & the Pentagon suspend plans for the deployment of military personnel to Chicago.
BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges. This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two. Every day, we inch closer to fascism.

It's great that 9 former CDC leaders have written a scathing commentary in the NY Times warning the world of RFK Jr's insanity. But..... sigh.... the people who read the NY Times already know this. And the people who need to know this.... don't read.
