New Trump admin motto appears to be “move fast and violate federal law and the US Constitution.” This looks like the beginning of a new Constitutional crisis, as the executive branch breaks the law and ignores the lawful orders of federal courts.

“BOSTON (AP) — A doctor from Lebanon who arrived at the Boston airport was deported over the weekend without explanation, despite having a U.S. visa [granted just 6 days ago] and a job teaching at Brown University.

“A judge had ordered she not be sent back until there was a hearing, but government lawyers said customs officials did not get word in time.

“It’s the latest deportation of a foreign-born person with a U.S. visa in the past week, after a student at Columbia who led protests of the Gaza war was arrested, and another student’s visa was revoked. The Trump administration also transferred hundreds of immigrants to El Salvador even as a federal judge issued an order temporarily barring the deportations.

“Dr. Rasha Alawieh, 34, had been granted the visa on March 11 and arrived at Boston Logan International Airport on Thursday, according to a complaint filed on her behalf by a cousin in federal court.”

"So far, America’s leading universities have remained virtually silent in the face of this authoritarian assault on institutions of higher education. That must change. Harvard must stand up, speak out, and lead a public defense of our freedom to speak and study freely."

Here is your list of Democratic Senators who gave up on defending the Constitution. It may be more the fault of their donors and the voters in their states, but here’s the list.

Interview: More than 250,000 have signed a petition to "Impeach Trump Again".

"This president has already committed multiple abuses of power since assuming the presidency, & the framers designed the Constitution to ensure that we would not have a monarch or a tyrant govern this nation.

“When we see these abuses of power, we have to invoke this impeachment clause.”

#NEWS: A federal judge on Monday refused to immediately order the #Trump White House to restore The #AssociatedPress' access to presidential events, saying the news organization had not demonstrated it had suffered irreparable harm in the matter. But he urged the government to reconsider its two-week-old ban, saying that case #law "is uniformly unhelpful to the White House.”

You know things are bad when this is how the PBS NewsHour starts (last night):

"The federal government is closed today in observance of Presidents Day, but the Trump administration's effort to permanently scale back the size and scope of the federal work force continues in full force. As Laura Barron-Lopez reports, President Trump's actions in his first few weeks also fueled demonstrations on this holiday weekend.
LAURA BARRON-LOPEZ: This Presidents' Day...
PROTESTERS: This is what democracy looks like!
LAURA BARRON-LOPEZ: ... protests across the country, pushing back against President Trump's first month in office and what organizers say are his antidemocratic and illegal actions. They call it the No Kings Day protest, even as the president suggested in social media posts this weekend that he is above the law, stating: 'He who saves his country does not violate any law.' Democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin responded on CBS.
REP. JAMIE RASKIN (D-MD): The dominant objective of this administration is corruption and lawlessness.
LAURA BARRON-LOPEZ: Trump's declaration comes as his administration faces multiple restraining orders from judges, who have in some cases said his actions are likely unconstitutional."

Trump, by denying White House access to the Associated Press, is telling other news organizations they'd better bend a knee and provide coverage on HIS TERMS. Or else.

This is how authoritarians govern.

'#SlackJawMushMouth' #WhiteSupremacist #TomHoman THREATENS #AOC w/ARREST for Educating People About The #USConstitution

#ImmigrantsLIVESMatter #USAFascistShitShow

So, the point of the vid is to highlight that U.S. citizens, including Congressmembers have the right (esp. if she's a well-educated #lawyer) to educate the rest of the citizenry about their right to refuse to talk to #ICE.

Stay focused.
One factor in the Philadelphia Eagles winning Super Bowl LIX was their focus on preparing and executing.

Stop focusing on the BS trump says about Canada, Gaza, etc. and focus on what he’s illegally doing to the federal government.

After waves of ethnic cleansing, an aggressive war of conquest, a massive civil war, decades of legally sanctioned racial subjugation, and the current assumption of executive power by an unelected South African drug addict, I do not want to be told that the US Constitution is anything other than one of the most bloody awful instruments of government ever devised.

The chaos is intentional: “Our federal government rests on the U.S. Constitution. The three different factions of Trump's MAGA Republicans agree that the government must be destroyed, and they are operating outside the constitutional order, not eager to win legal victories so much as determined to slash and burn down the government without them.”

I'm sure it's JUST a coincidence that searching for the Constitution at the White House webpage now leads to "Page Not Found":

https://www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-white-house/our-government/the-constitution/

The US Constitution can no longer be found on the White House website (see url)

It's almost like I had some insight on why I wanted to federate a copy here on the Fedi.

Old URL: https://www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-white-house/our-government/the-constitution/
