Unsurprising, but still shocking
Noem says >250 #DACA recipients #arrested & dozens #deported in 2025
#DHS Secy #KristiNoem said in a letter to #Democratic Sen #DickDurbin & other senators that the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program provides just that, a deferral of removal “for a period of time.” [dog killing demon]
Durbin & Sens #AlexPadilla (D-CA) & #MarkKelly (D-AZ) blasted the treatment of DACA recipients, known as #Dreamers.

Sen #DickDurbin from #Illinois gave a pointed opening statement prior to #PamBondi’s hearing, calling the #DOJ under her leadership a disgrace.
Bondi just straight up lied in her opening statement saying, “we have never defied a court order.”
Outrageous.
I’m old enough to remember the whistleblower who reported #EmilBove literally telling DOJ attorneys that they would need to tell the #judiciary “fuck you”.

@froomkin.bsky.social By a strange coincidence I was in the Senate gallery on Sep 2 when Thune threatened to do this unless Dems caved. Then Schumer got up and said Dems wouldn't be changing course, in fact he gave a (unexpected by me) banger of a speech. Dick Durban made a few good points too, keeping in mind he was barely audible to people in the gallery...he's a low talker.
'Egos are often part of the territory in politics, but I have never
seen a bully in the Oval Office with such a nakedly fragile ego.
Earlier today, I got to see that ego in all its ugly glory while I was
driving to the Capitol. In driving past the Department of Labor, I got
to see [...] the massive banners that have Donald Trump's face airbrushed on them. [...] For generations, Americans have looked at these kinds of images and laughed at them [...] because they are such obvious signs of deep insecurity.
Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Putin, Kim Jong Un, and other bullies throughout
history have depended on these images because they were desperate to seem powerful and important and untouchable.' - Chuck Schumer#uspol #chuckschumer #dickdurbin #trump #johnthune #ussenate

“Just last week in letters to the #Trump administration, I raised serious concerns about #transparency, #accountability, & the #humane treatment of detained individuals, particularly in light of repeated reports of #detainee #mistreatment & inadequate #MedicalCare,” US Sen #DickDurbin [D-IL], chair of the #Senate #Judiciary Cmte, tells WIRED.

#Illinois #Democrat Senator #DickDurbin, No.2 #Senate Dem & a leading #liberal voice, to retire after 44 years in #Congress
#Durbin retiring will fundamentally reshape how #immigration is debated in the Senate. For decades, he's played a leading role in shaping immigration policy (he was behind the first push for the Dream Act over 20 years ago).

#DEMOCRATIC #SENATORS have got to stop talking the talk and start walking the walk!
#CONGRESSIONAL #DEMOCRATS must #SUBPOENAELONMUSK!
#DEMS must hold their own public probes of #ElonMusk #Musk #DOGE in front of cameras, even if the hearings are in a broom closet at the #US #Capitol!
#SheldonWhitehouse #AmyKlobuchar #DickDurbin #ChrisCoons #ChuckSchummer and #TammyDuckworth, to name a few, have been talking tough for years while slow walking #USA into #FASCISM hand in hand with #Republicans.
The #DemocraticParty had #4YEARS to #PROBE #JaredKushner and #IvankaTrump and the #2BILLION #Kushner and #Trump illegally acquired from #SaudiArabia yet they did #NOTHING!
#SENATE DEMOCRATS #FAILED to hold even #1HEARING on #DonaldTrump #Trump #CRIMES WHILE IN OFFICE!
The #FAIL of #JoeBiden and #MerrickGarland's #DOJ is matched only by the #FAILURE of #SENATEDEMOCRATS!
DEM SENATORS have proven they care more about maintaining the #StatusQuo than #Justice and #Liberty for #All.

Sen #DickDurbin, a #Democrat, & Sen #LindseyGraham, a #Republican, plan to introduce a bill that would set an expiration date of Jan 1, 2027, for #Section230, acc/to a congressional aide familiar…. The senators have wide support from their respective parties: #Republicans #JoshHawley & #MarshaBlackburn & #Democrats #SheldonWhitehouse & #AmyKlobuchar have agreed to co-sponsor the bill. 2 more Dems, #RichardBlumenthal & #PeterWelch, have discussed cosponsoring.

“'There’s a great fear among many people — academics & people in the #legal profession – as to whether or not this president would defy a court order, which basically would put him above the #law, at least in his own eyes,' said the panel’s top Democrat, Illinois Sen. #DickDurbin.
“#Sauer rejoined, 'I’ve represented President #Trump for the better part of 2 years, & I just think that that’s not a plausible scenario.'”
🤔 say what now?

$35 Billion #ProposedMerger of #CapitolOne taking over #Discover cards creates estimated billions in hidden synergies. Perhaps most insidiously is a way for #Delaware based Capital One to elude Sen #DickDurbin's debit fee caps that limited merchant fees on #DebitCard transactions since 2010. When Discover is both card issuer and "card network", it is exempt from fee caps and Capital One could immediately shift its products to that platform and reap lotsa extra #money. Discover bought the Pulse #ATM network in 2005, which made it a partner with 4,500 #banks.

#SenateJudiciary Chair #DickDurbin said Sunday that “everything is on the table” as the panel scrutinizes new ethics concerns around #SupremeCourt #Justice #ClarenceThomas. “The bottom line is this: Everything is on the table. Day after day, week after week, more and more disclosures about Justice Thomas – we cannot ignore them,” the Illinois Democrat told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.” https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/07/politics/supreme-court-clarence-thom #SCOTUS #corruption #FinancialDisclosure #ethics #EthicsReform

@lawdork - "Sen. #LindseyGraham #falsely #claimed multiple times on 3/2/23 that all 9 #SCOTUS justices signed on to #ChiefJustice #JohnRoberts’s letter declining #SenateJudiciary Committee Chair #DickDurbin invitation to attend the committee’s #hearing on #SupremeCourt #EthicsReforms. Building on that false premise, Graham later claimed, “I just want people to understand court as a whole has a problem with this, whether they’re right or wrong.” #SCOTUS #republicans #epicenter #corruption #lies

Make no mistake - No #leadership #resolve #honesty #integrity #values #SCOTUS #ChiefJustice #JohnRoberts has #declined to directly #respond to a #congressional #request to #investigate #ClarenceThomas’ alleged #ethicallapses. Roberts instead referred request from #SenateJudiciary Chairman #DickDurbin to the #JudicialConference, which serves as the policy-making body of the federal courts.
