Stopping "illegal," or, more appropriately, undocumented immigration was one of the big three messages of Donald Trump's presidential campaign.

But so was stopping legal immigration, and now Trump's fellow Republicans are making good on his promises.

Donald J. Trump is the President of the United States.

But if you spend any time at all on the internet reading liberal blogs or any time watching liberal TV shows like this one, you may have heard him described as the second coming of well, pretty much every dictator ever… even fictional ones, like Lord Voldemort from the Harry Potter books.

On Tuesday night the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco heard oral arguments in a major case against Donald Trump's Muslim ban.

The hearing was held over telephone, and comes just days after a federal judge named James Robart out in Seattle blocked the ban.

On one side of today's oral arguments were the Attorneys General of Minnesota and Washington state.

As the clash between Donald Trump and the courts deepened this weekend - the president took a dangerous new line of argument.

Donald Trump just pulled off the biggest bait-and-switch in American history.

Back when he was a presidential candidate, Trump said things about the big banks that made him sound like a Bernie Sanders Democrat.

When Republicans take control of state legislatures, the first thing they always go after is the unions.

Republicans do this because unions are the lifeblood of the Democratic Party, and by destroying unions they know they can destroy the best chance Democrats have of putting up a resistance.

Republicans have literally no idea what they're going to do after they repeal Obamacare.

Publicly, they're putting up a strong face, but privately they're freaking out.

This isn't conjecture - it's confirmed fact.

The Trump White House just can't seem make up its mind about the Muslim ban.

Even though Donald Trump himself has called the ban a "ban" on Twitter - both Homeland Security chief John Kelly and White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer pushed back against that idea today in comments to reporters in Washington.
