Cuomo did not prove to be an excellent public servant. He was a corrupt douchebag who routinely sold out the voters by empowering the GOP in the state legislature, and treated the voters like idiots. That he was a repulsive groper was icing on the cake.

It's ironic that corporate CEOs are now handing Trump the reins to their companies. Because their (and their predecessors') efforts to slash the top tax rates, carve out tax loopholes, and shirk regulation are a big part of what brought us Trump in the first place.

This is exactly right! The Right’s core claim is that they represent an authentic, “real" America that is constantly being victimized, made to suffer under the yoke of leftist/liberal overreach, and therefore rightfully aggrieved. And too many Democrats/liberals look at that and go: “I agree.”

Ok I guess DC and NYC aren't doing their big marches until Saturday. A bit of a shame. (especially since Trump is currently dying in DC and should have to hear the march and watch it on TV from his hospital bed.)

Judge Sooknanan: I will look for the government's status report letting me know that the children have been deplaned and returned to ORR custody. Ensign, for his part, says the government "obviously" believes these actions are lawful and that he looks forward to setting out why in the brief.

Judge Sooknanan: For unaccompanied minors in particular, there are special procedural protections under the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act...that's because this population is incredibly vulnerable. I don't see anything in what you're citing that would override those protections.
