The White House is actively working to establish a dictatorship. Suspending habeas means indefinite detention of political opponents, citizen & noncitizen. And Democrats are talking about the need for "bipartisanship"?
Stephen Miller says that the Trump administration is 'actively looking at' suspending habeas corpus, the constitutional right to challenge unlawful detention
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is a May 2025 clip. Stephen Miller said the Trump administration was actively looking at suspending habeas corpus. Reports indicate the proposal was seriously debated but White House lawyers advised it requires Congressional action. No suspension has occurred. reason.com/2026/06/17/the… washingtonexaminer.com/news/justice/3… dailycaller.com/2025/05/09/ste…

wsws.org/en/articles/2026/11… Every faction of the ruling class and, one must add, the trade union apparatus, are terrified of the radicalization expressed in the vote and what it anticipates.

wsws.org/en/articles/2026/11… The contradiction between the aims of those who voted and the policies of the party they voted for cannot be resolved within the two-party system. It will be fought out in the class struggle.

Another important demonstration of the rule that attacks on noncitizen speech are always attacks on citizen speech.
State Department admits to monitoring social media posts about American citizens. Deputy Secretary: "Many cases that have been brought to our attention on social media, however, do not in fact involve foreigners present in our country on visas, but instead US citizens."

Workers speak on unemployment, homelessness and war ahead of the #NZelection. “I don’t think military spending is what we should be focusing on, especially since our healthcare is terrible right now. We need more nurses and doctors.” #nzpolitics #nzpol wsws.org/en/articles/2026/11…

Another demonstration of lack of fundamental differences btwn 2 parties. But also shows cynical functioning of Dems: 1 type (Stevens/Fetterman etc.) allies w/ GOP while 2nd type (Sanders/El-Sayed/AOC) props-up illusion that Dem Pty can fight Trump & be reformed. Both dishonest.
I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today.

"The CEO of Hilton makes in one day what the average housekeeper makes in two years. So in one month he's making more than they'll make probably in their lifetime. That's unconscionable, in my opinion. We're the ones that are creating value."

Workers must reject the bankrupt strategy that orients them toward elections, toward the bourgeoisie and the national state, and toward the construction of bourgeois “democratic fronts” that serve only to deceive the workers and in no way fight fascism. wsws.org/en/articles/2026/10…
