This is where Congress is, legalizing racketeering.
Or trying to.
The Republicans are plotting against Free Enterprise. If a democracy does not have freedom to engage in business securely that is a step forward to oligarchy and nationalized business. Say good-bye to small businesses.

THIS IS RACKETEERING!
Republicans want to normalize racketeering to eliminate competition for Musk.
I don’t think so.
Bondi is the most corrupt Attorney General that ever existed if inhumane standards with children are executed without judicial supervision and Congress continued misguided and corrupt agendas. She should be at the very least reprimanding anyone I the administration practicing this particular form of torture of children.

Trump is out of control.
There is a remarkable mention of Louisiana in most of these cases. Homan chronically is coming into conflict with the judicial department. This inhumane treatment of Americans is unlawful.
Homan purposely targeted three undocumented women, one pregnant, to make a case against birthright citizenship. They are sick SOBs. They did it deliberately regardless of the danger to human life. They are disgusting.
If these women and their babies face adversity that costs them harm or worse Homan, the ICE officers, and Trump need to be held responsible for human rights abuses.
This is not us. We bring people, including children, to this country for medical treatment. I find it rather odd there were three women from Honduras arrested together. Homan has issues. He is targeting more and more sensationalized immigrant cases IN THE FACE of a judiciary already demanding people be returned to their lives in the USA.
Where is Congress? Silence is not an option.
That child is facing a fight for his life without the benefit of sufficient medical treatment. Oh, wait. Let me guess. Homan wants to throw people on Medicaid out of the country mercilessly to make Musk proud.
Where is the list of immigrants Homan is working from to simply gather up three women with children to deport to the same country?
The Trump White House are inhumane SOBs!
Why was anyone worried?
Granted it look a little time and some losses, but, the best of the best always rise to take on the challenges of the day.
One of the best of the best Karen Karnoil-Tambour.

Who is the real threat?
WWRSMIII (What Would Robert Swan Mueller, III) do?
In all sincerity I expected Kash Patel to put an end to terrorist networks around the global, especially the ones that scam
Americans, but, instead he became one.
Iran
That explosion was felt and heard 31 miles from the epicenter.
According to what I have read since the explosion there were at least 12 ships carrying solid missile fuel between the port and 3 miles out.
Who sent the fuel? There were 7 ships carrying solid missile fuel at the dock. Who’s ships were carrying it and who sold it or gave it to Iran?
(Click here)
The shipment was grossly mishandled. Who was making these decisions? They are to blame. No military in their right mind would line up 12 cargo ships of solid missile fuel for delivery all at the same time. That is crazy.
If Iran is responsible for those deliveries then the authorities don’t care nor understand what protecting the public and infrastructure means. If Iran is going to to be this stupid and wants to destroy their own country through gross negligence then they should feel free to do so.
This is exactly the problem with third world countries that seek sophisticated weapons to protect their sovereignty. They don’t have the brain trust. It is catastrophe waiting to
happen.
They redirect much needed money for food and education to building military weapons that never serve them well.

A note about the departed Pope
Pope Francis was leader of the Holy Roman Catholic Church for twelve years. He was a vigorous leader and literally carried the weight of the world in his shoulders. His work is a matter of libraries and not volumes. His devotion was incredibly humble which speaks to the presence he felt all the time of God. He never wavered and the most remarkably different aspect of Pope Francis’ ministry is his expansive inclusiveness.
Pope Francis never veered away from looking humanity in the eye and addressing every aspect of differences while accommodating that difference with a spiritual path aligned with spiritual purity as would be demanded by God.
Pope Francis’ eulogy by Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re reflected the Pope’s life without apologies. If we could all walk that path the world would be far more livable.
To note, it was the Free World leaders (click here) that celebrated the Mass as Pope Francis was laid to rest. These were not casual relationships. The heads of state and great spiritual leaders canceled their duties to attend the funeral. Pope Francis was a part of their faith.
Always in question with Popes is the idea of miracles and sainthood. The Argentine Archbishop had a rather rare one (click here). These Eucharist are considered the ultimate expression of the body of Christ.
Everyone have a good day.
One other note. Pope Francis died of a stroke followed by a heart attack, not unlike his savior.

He isn’t rehearsing for The Apprentice.
Hegseth isn’t the man for the job. Just as Musk wasn’t and DoGE is proving to be a domestic threat to Americans privacy and security.
I don’t know if I spoke to this before, but, identity theft that rips peoples lives apart occurs with the exact methodology used by DoGE, except DoGE doesn’t hack into databases. Trump just gives them the key.
I don’t know many Americans that haven’t received a letter in the mail stating a website that was supposed to be secure has been hacked. Right? Americans minding their own business and doing due diligence with their credit score never expect what happens and may not understand how it happened when identity theft arrives.
This is the way it happens. A letter comes in the mail apologizing for a security breach at a private company that services the billing of a favorite department store. Then a week or so maybe even a month another letter arrives apologizing for a security breach at another favorite shopping spot. Then six months goes by and there is a third letter. Another six months go by and a fourth letter arrives.
Then about a month after the fourth letter another letter arrives, but, this time from the IRS stating to make an appointment with the closest office and oh by the way bring your receipts. After making an appointment at the IRS there is still yet another letter that arrives stating congratulations you have a new account at a diamond exchange but you never asked for it.
You call the diamond exchange to thank them for the generous offer but aren’t interested. The clerk at the diamond exchange asks why you changed your mind and you state you never applied for it. The diamond exchange sends a letter calling this episode as identity theft and as a service to you a report of identity theft is sent to the credit bureaus.
You keep your appointment with the IRS and in the office sits two agents. One in front of the computer and the other watching you as backup for the agents at the computer. Basically, a witness.
One agent asks you to enter important information into the little grey box so the computer can pull up your records. You comply after all you have nothing to hide. Then the agents asks for your receipts. You look bewildered because the file you brought with you only contains the short form and supporting documents. You tell the agent this is your tax return and you still haven’t received this year’s $647.00 refund.
The second agent looks over the shoulder of the first agent and turns saying, “Miss this return isn’t what is in the screen.” You looked more bewildered as the agents examine prior year filings. They come to the conclusion the $25,000 refund being requested is identity theft.
Alarmed and confused the second agent explains to you the fraudulent return was claiming an enormous gambling debt. If you didn’t produce the receipts you would then be facing legal peril. But, how did this happen you ask?
The second agent asks if you received any letters about security breaches from businesses you frequent. You say yes, four over the past two years, the latest a month ago.
The agent goes on to explain each security breach gives the hackers more and more information. Over time with each new breach a profile is created. He states the fourth letter completed missing pieces to your profile and they began to use it. At that point your return becomes evidence and as an American taxpayer you will receive a letter stating their conclusion as well as information to help guide you through what will inevitably follow.
When I heard about the blanket intrusion by DoGE into government websites that contain enormous amounts of information about Americans my first thought was, “They are no different than hackers accumulating vast amounts of information to consolidate a single federal identity.” Because that is exactly what DoGE is doing. The exact same thing. The question is, WHY.
My identity is no more their right to have than the hackers. If there are crimes to be investigated than get it documented and bring a search warrant. But, to realize DoGE is accumulating my personal information for their own purposes is a crime. They don’t have authority to do so. Nor should they.
We are faced with enormous problems day after day as Trump continues his paranoid need for control of every human being on Earth.
And.
What do we have serving up our defense department? A former FOX News commentator that has used taxpayer money to build a beauty salon at the Pentagon. Why a hair salon? For DRAMA QUEEN appearances on Truth Social. After all, isn’t Hegseth, even after firing the top brass, under attack moment after moment by “The Biden Deep State?”
Trump has to go.
Oh, I forgot. It is vital to control every human mind on Earth so we are all pleasing to God and he will feel safe to send his son to walk among us again.
After Netanyahu talks…
…a hostage family should propose their own solution to the war in Gaza. Netanyahu and the hostages’ families are not on the same side. Does that make the hostages’ family terrorists?
It is important to know the Palestinians in Gaza disavow any allegiance to Hamas. Therefore, who represents the Gaza Palestinians? Will they have elections? Who speaks for the Palestinians in Gaza?
The FBI is violating the rights of immigrants.

The stupid ideology of removing illegal immigrants has been Republican hubris for a long time. In realizing the U.S.A. Melting Pot was vital to the culture and economy of the U.S.A. and faced with long lingering expectations of Republican voters, Former President George W. Bush laid it out. He was very clear about the value of the migrants that came legally and illegally. In that, he laid out parameters where the Undocumented can obtain legal status. It had nothing to do with citizenship. It was a carefully thought out method to allow them to function within the borders of the U.S.A. while contributing to our enormous economy.
Millions of people have found their way safely to the USA for asylum. Most of the Undocumented are requesting asylum and we know for a fact they are not faking it.
Judges are vital to the functioning of this democracy. In the case of the Undocumented judges are friends that guide the future to a safe landing for both the country and the Undocumented.
The FBI and ICE are engaged in illegal actions directed by Trump. The loyalty of the FBI and ICE to ANY order from the Oval Office is wrong and misplaced loyalty. The actions today attacking Judge Dugan is all a part of a loyalty pledge to Trump in violation of the USA Constitution.
The laws of this country do not allow an invasion of privacy WITHOUT Due Process. There are huge violations of privacy as directed by Trump and his minions in DoGE. Every citizen in this country in unison with immigrants should be demanding removal of Trump and a thorough investigation to ICE, FBI Director, and DoGE.
Judge Dugan was absolutely correct in directing immigrants before her court working through an immigration system established decades ago to safe and unburdened exits from her courtroom.
We do not live in a police state, yet Trump directs law enforcement under his control to operate as if everyone is Trump’s dire enemy. The actions by ICE and now the FBI are issues of entrapment and not law enforcement. If an immigrant before Judge Dugan’s Court had violated the law in an egregious way she would have acted accordingly to be sure he/she/they were arrested for trial. Her integrity is not in question. What is at hand is her loyalty oath to Trump.
ICE and the FBI agents carrying out draconian enforcement of power players in this administration are guilty of using illegally obtained privacy documents and carrying illegal investigations and apprehensions of innocent people including Judge Dugan, all the Undocumented, and Legal Immigrants asserting their First Amendment RIGHTS.
ICE and FBI agents are causing people within the USA borders to act illegally to attempt to avoid arrest and deportation to who knows where. Whether ICE, Trump, or Patel likes it or not the USA has ALWAYS protected the vulnerable. Now. The elite of law enforcement is turning on the very Constitution that provides their authority to exist. They are not allowed to hunt people down, law abiding people with families and jobs. They are especially not allowed to hunt people down when their privacy information is illegally obtained through an out of control administration.
Every officer that participated in arresting Judge Dugan are in violation of the U.S.A. Constitution and actions against them should proceed. Judge Dugan should be released to continue her good and vital work with all drummed up charges dropped with a full apology to her and her family.
Every American is vulnerable to invasion of privacy by Musk and DoGE indulging Trump’s stupid need for control. That need for control is criminal and must stop. Every American is vulnerable without exception. There is not one law that allows what occurred today.
Go cheat at golfing, Donald.
You’ll feel better.
The stunning example cited by Congresswoman Shri Thanedar is exactly correct. The Supreme Court of the USA ruled in the return of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia.
Patel is breaking the law.
What next? A corrupt FBI Director.
Congress better not stand for this because they could be next. They have a Rouge president with henchmen on the cabinet and I the agencies
THIS IS MALICIOUS PROSECUTION.
There is no way this can stand unless Trump deports Judge Dugan to Russia on the next plane out.
The Supreme Court already ruled on illegal conduct by Trump. There are to be further hearings. Trump and Patel need to be arraigned for crimes of malicious prosecution and that is only the beginning.
Trump is having a hissy fit because his dictatorship is on hold by the USA Constitution and Due Process. Bondi is involved, otherwise Patel is riding high on his own ego.
Unfortunately, the Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Karl will have to deal with this. Judge Dugan was illegally arrested in Wisconsin. It is where she practices and lives. Basically, she is kidnapped by Patel and the ICE officers.
The lawful way of dealing with decisions by judges is through appeals. The appeals to rulings in favor of Americans are moving along quickly. There is absolutely no reason for such radical episodes like this. The public has a right to know the charges OTHER than she ruled in favor of immigrants. A judge’s ruling is not a basis for criminal charges. Even if corrupt there are impeachment proceedings that should be conducted.
Kristi Nome is somewhere in this mix, too. What a great Homeland Security Secretary she is; she can’t even protect her own handbag (click here).

A loss so young is difficult to reconcile.
Molly McGovern passed today. Sometimes life just isn’t fair. Condolences to US House Representative Jim McGovern, his spouse, Molly’s brother, as well as family and friends.
Senator Durbin will be missed.
Senator Durbin has steadied the ship for many years. His leadership has been strong and moral, always taking the high road. I don’t remember one day of hubris or leadership tainted with the wrong path for the USA. If anything Senator Durbin conducted strong moral influence over policy written and passed into law serving all Americans.
Thank you for decades of effective moral leadership.
Thank you, Governor Pritzker.
When you are right, you are right and Governor Pritzker is right.
This democracy is build on fundamental human rights AND fairness. We are innocent until proven guilty. Within that understanding there is a clear definition of Due Process. I might point out Donald Trump enjoyed Due Process when he was arrested. Yet, he would deny it to others.
This clearly illustrates what is very wrong with the illegal use of the ancient law Trump found ARA (Alien Enemies Act). The ARA is used at a time of war and quite frankly even FDR never used it during WWII. Don’t confuse exile with detainment.
If such a provision in the law could be conjured up at any time even in times of domestic peace, we would never have a reasonable domestic peace. If such chaos were allowed to be used at will rather than within the boundaries of the definitions in the law, people would have undergrounds and methods of hiding that became a way of life.
El Salvador and the USA share many treaties, including United Nations conventions. It appears El Salvador has stepped outside those treaties to facilitate a prisoner exchange with Venezuela that otherwise would not occur. Mr. Trump managed to corrupt even international agreements.
I wish Governor Pritzket great success in reclaiming Due Process as well as international order.
Malicious Prosecution
Get used to the idea Trump and Gun Moll Bondi are going to file false charges. There will be investigations that are way out of line. What will have to occur is State Attorney Generals will have to counter file with charges against Trump and Bondi.
People and businesses have a primary address. That is the State Attorney to report malicious intent by the federal government.
Want to be an oligarch?
Buy a dinner and all corruption is possible. He is violating the ISA Constitution. But, his entire presidency to date violates something about the moral content of American life and law.
