And of course it’s the fifth circuit that decides for women everywhere in the country, Mifepristone no longer available unless you can pick it up in person. Reminder: in Dobbs, the court said this should be up to each state. That’s not what this does. https://t.co/8P1y7h8YKm
BREAKING: Donald Trump's attorneys horrify legal experts by arguing that federal agents have the right to invade homes without a warrant based on an archaic 18th century wartime law.
The sound of fascist jackboots is growing louder...
According to the increasingly authoritarian administration, federal agents should be able to exploit the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 — the same law they abused recently to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members — to enter homes without a court order.
The Act in question has only been used three times in American history, including the horrific internment of the Japanese during World War 2.
Crucially, the law allows federal agents to circumvent the Fourth Amendment and can technically be applied to target any foreigner that the president labels an "alien enemy," theoretically giving Trump incredible leeway to abuse his powers.
The crucial section of the Act allows federal agents to enter "at least a foot in the door with respect to arguing that the president can order this on his own authority."
If the Fourth Amendment is torched in this fashion, the rest of the Constitution might not be far behind.
"The Fourth Amendment applies to everyone in the U.S., not just individuals with legal status," said Christopher A. Wellborn, president of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.
He explained that removing the Amendment would be "an abuse of power that destroys our privacy, making Americans feel unsafe and vulnerable in the places where our children play and our loved ones sleep."
Since Trump has already demonstrated a willingness to discard due process, it's not hard to envision a scenario in which countless innocent people are rounded up, denied proper legal recourse, and shipped off to hellish prisons in El Salvador.

Q: Given the amount of the mounting evidence of climate change, do you still believe it's a hoax?
Trump: I get awards environmental awards for the way I build it for the water, the way I use the water, the sand, the mixing of the sand and the water, I mean, many different, but I've had many awards over the years for environmental, the way I've built because you know about building, that's what you do. It's very important to me… The real global warming that we have to worry about is nuclear. The water is coming up an eighth of an inch over 300 years, the ocean is gonna rise and, you know, nobody knows if that's true or not, but they're worried about the ocean rising an eighth of an inch or a quarter of an inch in 300 years
Trump is BOMBING at the Economic Club of Chicago. He's coming across, as usual, as a clueless buffoon who is getting laughs from his crass behavior and obnoxious comments in front of business leaders.
He is dangerously UNFIT.

Senator Tina Smith on Trump’s comments on Amber Thurman: I mean, it’s just so incredible that here is this individual who so clearly disrespects women in every single way. To think about what it means to make a joke about a woman who lost her life—and you could say because of the actions that this former president took—I mean, that’s just despicable. We cannot sort of say, ‘Oh, that’s just Donald Trump, that’s just what he does.’ We have to call it out every single time he does something as horrible as this.
How does the family of this young woman feel when they hear him say something like that? It just confirms what we know about this individual, which is that he only cares about himself. It’s the only reason he does anything—just to make himself feel bigger and better. Yet, at the end of the day, he is a small and weak person, and he should never be near the presidency.
These six minutes need to be shared with everyone.
Much appreciation to Jake Tapper for properly reporting on Trump’s fascist threat to use the U.S. military against American citizens, which has not generated the coverage elsewhere that it is due.
