Movies back on!!

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio tried to give a press conference to announce his lawsuit against DOJ. Much to my surprise it turned out to be the greatest press conference of all-time.

Bondi DOJ has a problem. On left: DOJ Indictment and Detention Memo allege Abrego Garcia lied to officer by not revealing he was coming from Texas On right: DHS Referral Report: "Subject stated he was driving 'three days ago' (11/27/2022) from Houston, TX to Temple Hills, MD (via St Louis, MO)"

Law Professor @rgoodlaw.bsky.social catches DOJ in a contradiction in the Abrego Garcia case. A major one.

Abrego Garcia could ask for a bail hearing to cross examine the government on this pretty basic discrepancy. Suggests a real rush to charge in order to have a political face-saving way to bring him back. Of course, legally his due process rights were already violated, per the Supreme Court.

🤔

Maura Finkelstein is a Jewish, anti-Zionist professor. Well, she was fired. Regardless whether you agree with her politics, this is a deeply troubling crackdown on academics and professors that will increase under Trump www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/m...

I suspect that like many things with this admin, this is a way to seed a narrative and they may not even see it all the way through (how can they with sloppiness like the below?). But it’s enough for Fox, and even if they later drop it they can deport him again through regular removal proceedings

They’re not going to release the Epstein files, are they?

If a Muslim in the US publicly called for a missile strike on a famous celebrity activist onboard a civilian ship or plane, the FBI would be investigating them for terrorism. But a rich white guy gets to incite violence without any consequences 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽

7 June 1900 | Czech Jew Erwin Haas was born in Olomouc. An electro-mechanic. In #Auschwitz from 11 June 1942. No. 39282 He perished in the camp on 26 June 1942.

Elon Musk says he will apologize profusely to President Trump once there is a “full dump” of the Epstein files.

Kilmar Abrego-Garcia returns to the United States to face charges for transporting undocumented immigrants. I'll discuss with Ali Velshi at 10:20 pm ET on @TheLast Word on @MSNBC.

It’ll be interesting how the Trump administration’s remarkable ability to magically bring Abrego García back to the United States will bear on its arguments in other cases about how it really has no ability to influence the detention of others at CECOT.

So it seems like Bukele *is* willing to release detainees if there are pending proceedings in the U.S. The habeas/due process the courts have ordered for the Venezuelans are pending proceedings. So when are they coming back

NEW: In a win for voters, the Supreme Court rejects the RNC's challenge to a Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling that allowed voters to cast provisional ballots in person if their mail-in ballots were rejected.

This ⬇️

The Chief of the Criminal Division at the US Attorney’s Office/Middle District of Tennessee RESIGNED the same day the Acting US Attorney signed the indictment of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He writes: “do the right thing, in the right way, for the right reasons.” There are no coincidences.

Busy SCOTUS day for democracy: ⚖️Alabama appealed congressional redistricting (again). ⚖️Mississippi asked SCOTUS to decide on late mail ballots. ⚖️The Court denied RNC cert petition in PA undated ballots.

The crime rate of undocumented immigrants in the US is far lower than the crime rate of the current occupant of the Oval Office.

Happy 50th Eug @gene4va.bsky.social !

Trump disapproval in Oregon is 63%. That’s all the Ds and majority of indies.

What fascists do

NEW: In a loss for Arkansas voters, a federal court upheld the state's congressional map, saying that voters failed to prove their claims of intentional racial discrimination. Arkansas will retain its current map.

Something tells me that when the Deputy Chief of Staff at DHS tweets to his 1.3M followers that Abrego Garcia is a criminal terrorist monster who will serve a long prison sentence, that might taint the jury pool. @aclu.org

Chief of Nashville, criminal division resigns over decision to charge Abrego Garcia. That’s a big story and the details will likely be very damning for the administration.

Bondi Busted! Scathing new bar complaint against AG Pam Bondi accusing her of weaponizing the DOJ. Katie Phang reports on exposing Bondi for her hypocrisy and holding her to account.

Please learn to read. I said if this is what gets him back to the U.S., then so be it. And yes, I’d rather have him be on trial here in the U.S. and have due process protections and the opportunity to defend himself over rotting in an El Salvadoran gulag for the rest of his life.

Elon has finally broken his silence. We should do everything we can to encourage him

The AUSA who resigned in Nashville, Ben Schrader, is a 15 year veteran of the office. Something really really really stinks here.

I guess Musk will be forming a 3rd party.

So glad these guys just voted to give DOGE access to social security data!! What could go wrong???

Bondi again in Abrego Garcia press conference added all these scurrilous details, not in the indictment. Positively outrageous.

He has a name folks. Be sure to push the America Party to all the MAGAs on Team Elon.

Trump’s Never-Says-No AG, Pam Bondi, slammed with scathing new bar complaint for unethical conduct. My latest Katie Phang News channel video: youtu.be/4sIHlj13VT4

How to Exploit the Musk-Trump Beef to Save Democracy and Weaken Fascists Musk doesn't need a "redemption arc," & Democrats shouldn't ally with a sociopathic racist. Instead, the majority must exploit this fight to imagine a future without a broligarch thelefthook.substack.com/p/how-to-exp...

BREAKING The President of California’s largest union has been detained during an ICE raid.

This NYT story is 44¶¶, 5 bylines, plus involvement from 2 others, 13 interviews (so fewer than 2 interviews a journalist). The actual useful ¶¶ are the last 6, about Sergio Gor's role. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/u...

Two things you should know about this: They've filed in Florida, not where they were prosecuted. Several of these guys (at least Nordean and Biggs) remain adjudged terrorists. Trump's commutation did not disrupt that.

The same type of people cheering deportations of children who know no other country but America and people who’ve been here for decades are the same type of people who came out and cheered when the Nazis walked the Jews to deportation trains.

They did mention the alleged crime--the transporting--before now. What remains unclear is whether the wraparound--the MS-13 ties, the abuse of women and children--is real, or something they bribed some other guys to tell to get privileged treatment.

Good to see that the exodus and humiliation of Paul Weiss continues.

I said this indirectly the other day, but it deserves special focus today. ABC's parent, Disney, capitulated to Trump early on. But ABC continues to get really well-sourced stories, like the one on MDTN prosecutor Ben Schrader's resignation. abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl...

Let it out, ADL. Let people hear and see what you've become. What a shame.

“White House officials said Friday that Mr. Trump was considering selling the bright red Tesla he got in March as a show of support for Mr. Musk”

Abolish ICE

7 June 1903 | A French Jewish woman, Alice Elisabeth Metzger, was born in Strasbourg. She was deported to #Auschwitz in November 1943 from Drancy. She did not survive.
