#Duterte rode to power in the #Philippines with a "get tough" attitude on #drugs
What followed was degradation of #humanRights, institutional norms, and rule of law. Mass killings of "drug users" (read: anyone poor a cop could shoot on sketchy happenstance "evidence" to look like they were doing something)
Beyond my joy for #Filipinos with his arrest, I hope it's a harbinger for #Trump. If not an #ICC warrant, at least that "strong men" get comeuppance

Adam Schiff to Lawrence O’Donnell just now:
Schiff: "I feel like I should send an email to Elon #Musk asking him the 5 things he's done this week for his own car co., which is in the toilet right now. Maybe he should spend a little more time focused on his car co. instead of wrecking American foreign policy.
If as a result of his actions #Ukraine should lose this war, it will be #Trump who lost the war in Ukraine. & he will go down in history as the 1 who lost the war for one of our allies."
"Vance went on to advise Trump what he should do were the supreme court to try and stop him from turning the US government into a Maga redoubt. He invoked a probably apocryphal quote from Andrew Jackson relating to a conflict in 1832 between the then president and the justices.
'Stand before the country like Andrew Jackson did,' Vance urged Trump, 'and say the chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it.'
For Toobin, this marks the ultimate crunch. As he points out, the supreme court is but nine men and women, supported by a staff of fewer than 500.
They are minnows confronted by a shark. And the only weapon they have at their disposal is an etherial one: the consent of the governed upon which this whole teetering edifice stands."

A quick overview of the questions about whether #Ukraine actually has the mineral deposits that put dollar signs in Trump's eyes. I've heard this skepticism of the deposits before.
I have a suspicion that #Zelenskyy is not such a big fan of the minerals agreement with #Trump because he knows it's not really going to pan out, he's just going along with it to get to the next step that might actually be substantial.
Until Trump botched his own deal, of course.

"Most of the orders will not be held up in court when challenged because they’re all unconstitutional, and the best example of that, of course, is the bedrock constitutional principle that all people born or naturalized in the United States are citizens of the United States—that’s in the Constitution. He could issue 45,000 executive orders saying otherwise, but it doesn’t matter."

However, #MahmoudKhalil is in the #UnitedStates on a #GreenCard & NOT on a student #visa, Greer said Sunday. Despite informing agents about his #legal status, #ICE detained him, she said.
#Trump claimed Khalil was a "Radical Foreign Pro-Hamas Student" & said it was the "first arrest of many to come" in a post on his social media.
"We will find, apprehend, & deport these terrorist sympathizers from our country -- never to return again," he added.
"To preserve the Court's jurisdiction pending a ruling on the petition, Petitioner shall not be removed from the United States unless & until the Court orders otherwise," Judge Jesse Furman wrote in a notice ordering a conference for Wed morning in the case.
#ICE agents arrested #MahmoudKhalil -- a leader in the university's encampment movement -- on Saturday night, claiming that his student #visa had been revoked, his attorney, Amy Greer, said to ABC News.

"This is a tragedy for the free world, but above all, it is tragedy for the United States. Trump’s message is that being his ally serves no purpose, as he will not defend you, he will impose higher tariffs on you than on his enemies, and he will threaten to seize your territories while supporting the dictators who invade you. ...
Never in history has a president of the United States surrendered to an enemy."

"Europe is at a critical turning point in its history. The American shield is slipping away, Ukraine risks being abandoned, and Russia is being strengthened. Washington has become the Court of Nero: an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers, and a buffoon on ketamine tasked with purging the civil service."
