Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

On Kimmel tonight for the first time.

This is well worth reading: "Whatever dam of despair that kept so many Americans quiet or despondent has now broken..." slate.com/news-and-pol...

“This is just the way it is now in the nominally democratic United States. There are roughly 200 more weeks to go of this.”

Not sure Trump really understands that cutting a million Federal jobs is simply cutting a million jobs. (Musk does, but doesn't GAF - probably not long-term U.S. resident anyway). Cue the bread lines for skilled technocrats.

Holy cow. Serious national security implications of the Musk-Trump sledgehammer approach. National Nuclear Security Administration internal email: “The termination letters for some NNSA probationary employees are being rescinded, but we do not have a good way to get in touch with those personnel.”

Remember that time the USA was under a cyber attack from the White House? And people rushed to save crucial scientific, educational, historical, arts, public health, and disaster preparedness information in multiple languages on the Wayback Machine web archive?

This is fine. We’re fine. Everything is fine.

Maybe I’m old fashioned, but doesn’t hiring a raging alcoholic day drunk to run the Defense Department seem like a fairly fucking bad idea?

Prouder than ever that every day the team @eliaslawgroup.bsky.social fight to help Democrats win, citizens vote and progressives make change.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Judge Temporarily Blocks Trump’s Order Restricting Birthright Citizenship “I have been on the bench for over four decades. I can’t remember another case where the case presented is as clear as it is here …This is a blatantly unconstitutional order.”

A lot of the commentary about Biden's pardons is from people who weren't tracking the extent to which GOPers lied constantly about what his family had done to try to take him down. It was relentless and mostly in the right-wing bubble where it was often unseen. Not exculpatory, but moderating.

Fake MAGA Christians are crying more about the Bishop preaching mercy than Donald Trump who breaks the 10 Commandments. CINOs.
