The White House is actively working to establish a dictatorship. Suspending habeas means indefinite detention of political opponents, citizen & noncitizen. And Democrats are talking about the need for "bipartisanship"?

Stephen Miller says that the Trump administration is 'actively looking at' suspending habeas corpus, the constitutional right to challenge unlawful detention
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is a May 2025 clip. Stephen Miller said the Trump administration was actively looking at suspending habeas corpus. Reports indicate the proposal was seriously debated but White House lawyers advised it requires Congressional action. No suspension has occurred. reason.com/2026/06/17/the… washingtonexaminer.com/news/justice/3… dailycaller.com/2025/05/09/ste…

Les démocrates consolident leur contrôle du Congrès américain et des États

Le résultat des élections de mi-mandat est un puissant désaveu de l’administration Trump, dont profitent les démocrates malgré leur propre manque de soutien populaire.

After the US midterms: What next?

After the US midterms: What next?

There is a vast and unbridgeable chasm between the sentiments animating masses of people and the political party, the Democratic Party, that is the electoral beneficiary of them.

Another demonstration of lack of fundamental differences btwn 2 parties. But also shows cynical functioning of Dems: 1 type (Stevens/Fetterman etc.) allies w/ GOP while 2nd type (Sanders/El-Sayed/AOC) props-up illusion that Dem Pty can fight Trump & be reformed. Both dishonest.
