This congressman’s family was swept up in WWII Japanese detention. “I do feel like there’s a similarity of circumstance of my own 2-year-old father and my 1-year-old mother being labeled as enemy aliens and they’re considered a danger to national security,” he told The Associated Press in an interview. “They’re put into these incarceration camps,” he said. “Similar arguments have been made by this administration — that immigrants pose a grave danger to our country and it’s for the security of our country that we’re doing this.”

Donald Trump doesn’t run the Republican Party so much as terrorize it. You know, the kind where an unstable, sheetrock-punching patriarch rules the house and other family members regularly try to hide black eyes and suppress deep emotional scars. Every Republican knows Trump is volatile, vindictive and catastrophically impulsive. But instead of filing for divorce, they keep going back for more abuse and trying to explain that their latest bruise was from a clumsy slip in the shower.

In Trump’s assault on democracy, echoes of Nazi Germany but new glimmers of hope that America will be different. As we approach our mid-term elections, America too is at a pivot point — with the burning question being whether Donald Trump’s grip on MAGA lawmakers can be broken so that Congress, feckless like the Reichstag of the late Weimar Republic, can resume its constitutional role as a check on the executive. It’s a matter of life or death for American democracy as it nears its 250th birthday.

Scientists have spent decades cataloguing them, and the count has hovered around 19,500 for years – a number most researchers treat as roughly complete.
