Mrs. Noem refused to explain what steps her dept is actively taking to comply w/ a 9-0 SCOTUS ruling to bring Mr. Abrego Garcia back to America & give him due process. She's avoiding the question by saying: "He's back in his home country."

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, Donald Trump is publicly supporting a conspiracy theory that Joe Biden was actually killed in 2020 and replaced by a robot clone. Just a heads up in case you know of anyone who might be interested in investigating the cognitive deterioration of the commander-in-chief.

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules. It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.

I predict that the Supreme Court will affirm the ruling of the Court of International Trade. First, it's the correct reading of the statute, and second, Leo owns Clarence Thomas.
