“If you saw all this in any other country — soldiers sent to crush dissent, union leaders arrested, opposition politicians threatened — it would be clear that autocracy had arrived. The question, now, is whether Americans who hate tyranny can be roused to respond.” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/o...

Watching the right now oppose the part of the second amendment that guarantees a well regulated militia under state control is… something.

For "One First," I took a deeper dive into Friday afternoon's *very* significant #SCOTUS Alien Enemies Act ruling—including why it effectively freezes AEA removals for the foreseeable future and its (much) broader potential impact on *all* attempts to bring nationwide challenges to Trump policies:

Good luck to the intel agencies with dismantling every panel in the 747 that Qatar is giving Trump to check for bugs and trackers

It’s especially galling that AG Pam Bondi personally wrote the memo approving the gift of the Qatari airplane. Her last job was as a lobbyist for Qatar! efile.fara.gov/docs/6415-Ex...

How is the Qatar 747 gift not an Air Force One equivalent of "Signal-gate"?

“The Trump Administration is Looking at Ways to Burn the Constitution and Piss on the Ashes” should be the headline

This is fascism.

MURPHY: You've read the SCOTUS decision. Does it not require you to facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia? NOEM: The Trump admin is complying with all court orders M: You're a defendant in the case!... the discussion ends when SCOTUS rules 9-0... that is incredibly chilling for balance of powers

NEW: Trump orders the Justice Department “to take all necessary action to help secure the release of” a former GOP election clerk in Colorado and election denier who was sentenced to nine years in prison for her role in a voting system data breach. From: @mattdcohen.bsky.social

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Trump has fully turned on Zelenskyy: "He's always looking to purchase missiles. Listen, when you start a war, you gotta know you can win a war. You don't start a war against somebody that's 20 times your size and then hope that people give you some missiles."

From the 2024 presidential immunity oral arguments: "But the liberal justices voiced concern that by offering presidents a shield from prosecution, the court could turn the Oval Office into a “seat of criminality,” as Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson described it."

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”
