NEW: Federal judges have spent months ordering ICE to give detainees a chance for release in bond hearings.

Now, they're worried that the bond hearings themselves — conducted by Executive Branch immigration judges — are a farce.

Republican promises of a new America followed by elite tax cuts, working American benefit cuts, a Middle East War and inevitable recession. Then it’s time to blame Democrats.

Maybe if companies send some goons to threaten to kneecap U.S. Customs Officials they’ll get their tariff money back?

Giving a felon the ability to unilaterally start a multination war in a powder keg world region seems suboptimal.

You throw a bunch of reasons for starting a war spaghetti at the wall and see if any of it sticks to the ketchup stains already there.

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.

What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.

When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.

Remember this.

Maybe this is just me, but I kind of think massive military operations, in which we're demanding unconditional surrender as the outcome, probably should be authorized by Congress.

A six-year-old girl was fatally shot in the head while left unattended in a car in Michigan. Four other children under the age of 12 were in the car with her.

No child should ever have access to an unsecured gun. This never should have happened.
