The Pentagon will place 600 military lawyers as immigration judges. Immigration courts already lack independence. Handing them to active-duty officers erases neutrality, dissolves the separation of powers, & forces military rule in civilian law- it collapses rule of law into authoritarian command.

Venezuela is not the enemy of the United States. Killing those 11 persons on that unarmed boat is an unprovoked act of war. It’s something that Putin would do. Trump is responsible for this criminal act. U.S cannot arbitrarily execute/murder in international waters, even if the boat carried drugs.

Texas is the toughest state in the nation for people to join the rolls. There is no online voter registration, no automatic voter registration and no same-day voter registration here. And laws surrounding the few available means of getting registered are onerous and confusing.

"Here’s why Paxton is coming after me, our organization, our volunteers and ultimately Texas Voters." "I run Powered by People, one of the largest voter registration organizations in the country. In six years, our volunteers have helped register hundreds of thousands of Texas voters."

But, as you’ll see, it turns out that this has nothing to do with the law and everything to do with Paxton’s attempt to decimate the opposition party before the next elections, improve his prospects in the Republican primary for U.S. Senate and divert attention from his own legal challenges.

"If Paxton’s requests are granted in full, I will be locked up in the Tarrant County jail before long." "You might wonder what laws I’ve broken to incur the full legal wrath of the State of Texas." "Me too"

"I also face criminal contempt charges related to his bribery accusation. Paxton is now trying to shut down the voter registration and voting rights organization I founded. Our Texas-based assets have been frozen, and the AG has gone so far as to indicate that my personal assets could be frozen."
