Gov. Tim Walz has called the shootings of Rep. Melissa Hortman & Sen. John Hoffman what they are: politically motivated assassinations. Tragically, Rep. Hortman & her husband did not survive. Sen. Hoffman & his wife are out of surgery, but no other details are available yet. Heartbreaking 💔

As I just flagged, this has been replaced with something which is arguably worse; requiring that basically every plaintiff seeking a preliminary injunction against the federal government pay millions or billions of dollars in "security" to pay for "costs" to the federal government if they later win.

This story exemplifies the reason people are outraged at ICE. This guy did nothing wrong. He broke not a single law. He was a guard at a base that housed US troops. He came here legally through humanitarian parole. He had an asylum application pending. Yet the Trump admin had ICE grab him anyway.

Damn. This is dramatic. I had heard a couple days ago that a Nadler staffer had been arrested but was waiting for confirmation. So now we know what happened; ICE officers barged into the district office trying to arrest other people, handcuffed a staffer who pushed back, then let her go, no arrest.

I cannot stress enough how much of a Def Con 1 moment this is. Federal judges fear that the President of the United States will stand down security for judges in retaliation for adverse decisions. This is such a huge story.

Stunning. May was brutal for Trump in federal court: 96% loss rate ⚖️. Even GOP-appointed judges have ruled against the admin 72% of the time. District courts are doing their job defending the Constitution. Soon the Supreme Court may be the only court unwilling to defend the rule of law.

As Bukele prepares to arrest multiple journalists for reporting on the deal he made with gangs before the State of Exception in 2022, remember that the Trump admin chose to send him an MS-13 leader set for a trial in the US who might have testified about that deal, thus ensuring his silence.
