A new DOJ memo argues that immigration judges can be stripped of civil service protections. That could lay the groundwork for firing them if they don’t rule the “right” way.
Your takeaway from Trump being a psychopath is that democrats are pathetic and terrifying? I’m all for punching to the right, but if you have T-Rex arms it’s not very effective.

is that NOT your takeaway? Because trust me that is what the majority of people in the US are thinking. The Democratic party is over.
I take punches at Trump, Vance and other fascists/Repulicans all the time, I am mad centrist neoliberal Democrats have T-Rex arms and won’t fight for us, sorry if you are too sensitive to handle the criticism or are confused by the complex nature of me being angry at two groups.
Democrats have all their problems but this is becoming like a “but do you condemn Hamas?” thing with some portions of the left. This article is entirely about executive branch people speaking out and has literally no statement from a sitting Democrat at all, yet you made it about Democrats. It’s not sensitivity to point out obvious anti-liberal grandstanding. For the record, Democrats are failing us, let’s point that out on posts that actually demonstrate that.
Man I’m a huge critic of Democrats (especially lately) and have called on them for “do their job” as politicians, but even I know that it’s laughingly obvious they can’t “protect us from Republicans” when they have control of zero branches of government, and also…that isn’t their job even if they had control of government.
EDIT:
“The job” of legislators without a majority and no control over legislative sessions is to listen to their constituents, organize their constituents, draft policy for when they’re in the majority, and to vocalize and exercise their opposition within the chamber they’re in whether through votes, speeches during committee, or speeches on the floor.
“The job” of legislators with a majority and control over legislative sessions is to listen to their constituents, propose, vote on, and pass policy that their constituents want.
Nowhere in the job description of being an effective legislator is there a part where they are to “protect us” from anyone. They aren’t fucking security, and they should exist outside of opposition lines and should be defining the policies to get us out of the messes that their opposing party is getting us into. They should be vehicles for changing policy to solve problems for the people that sent them there…not serving as a wafer-thin protective layer between the public and the policies and politicians for which the public purportedly voted.
Remember when centrist dems thought it was the right play to hit Trump on failing to deport as many people as he claimed he was?
The dem establishment is pathetic and terrifying.

No, I will keep pointing out Democrats are failing to protect us from Republicans until they do their damn job.

…what? …there is no point in them being there if they aren’t going to do that?
