If you have not discovered this Podcast series please add it to your queue. @vermontgmg.bsky.social provides a documentary level series. In particular it is very important to listen to season 2 “Rise of the American Far Right”

Just a heads up: if we are in fact at war, the authorities Trump has been using — many/most of which are delegated wartime authorities — will only expand and be given more deference by the courts. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

When the LA police says you are overreaching, you are overreaching.

There has to be a word we can use for people who voted against Trump all three times - how about Patriots? #ResistTrump

Great point 👇 #ResistTrump

More sanewashing, this time of John Roberts. The guy who blew up 100 years of campaign finance law, devastated voting rights, and spearheaded the catastrophic immunity decision. Presiding over the most unethical court in history. Supreme Court walks a tightrope as it confronts Trump’s power moves

All MAGA hat, no cattle cuz government is hard — but they damaged the regulators who scrutinized them and it’s not clear how they plundered our data systems. At some point, there should be a massive investigation into what these fly by nights did. www.wired.com/story/nicole...

Back the blue? Your followers BEAT the blue on Jan. 6 and then you pardoned them. Shameful.

DOGE will be considered one of America’s most disastrous boondoggles. “Doge” will be a verb for when you spend a lot of money, break a bunch of stuff and end up making things worse.

American media utterly failed yesterday in explaining the sheer illegality, unconstitutional and corrupt nature of Trump’s Qatar “Air Force One” deal. Oh, and then there’s the catastrophic security risk…. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/corruption...

BREAKING: Trump “actively looking at” suspending habeas corpus — which would allow government to arrest, exile, detain, and even kill ANY of us. With NO trial, NO lawyer, NO judge ever hearing from you. It would be the death of freedom in America.

Let’s be clear. Stephen Miller is likely “actively looking at” chopping people up with an ax for fun, too, so the real question is: “Why does Stephen Miller want this particular headline right now?”

She’s out!! They have released Ozturk from ICE custody!

Stephen Miller is lying through his teeth. The Supreme Court has emphasized for generations that EVERY person gets due process. Here's none other than Antonin Scalia in 1993: "It is well established that the Fifth Amendment entitles aliens to due process of law in deportation proceedings."

“Everyone's got a right to a lawyer. Everyone's got a right to go to court. And it's something we've always assumed to be true, and now it's threatened,” says former Bush Deputy Attorney General Donald Ayer. https://cbsn.ws/43btfGV

If the president brings the legal profession to heel, what does that mean? “No rule of law. You're in a dictatorship,” says attorney John Keker. https://cbsn.ws/4d5fgpp

I may be the only lawyer targeted by Trump willing to speak on camera, but for me it wasn't a choice. All of us have an obligation to speak out against what Trump is doing. All of us have an obligation to fight for democracy. I am fortunate to be a lawyer and to have a platform -- and I will use it.

Few lawyers are willing to speak publicly about President Trump’s actions against law firms. Fear is rippling through Washington. But, despite being a target, Marc Elias is still talking. Scott Pelley sits down with him tonight on 60 Minutes.

I’m going to continue reminding folks that this is the kind of thing that warrants impeachment. (Not for nothing but Republicans impeached Mayorkas for just existing)

#BondiMath is really making the rounds. 🤡 @rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Rep Eric Swalwell walked out in *shock*—and who could blame him? Every single GOP member on the House Judiciary Committee just voted to let Trump “deport” American citizens. This is illegal, authoritarian, and unforgivable 🤬 Time to call, write, & protest before the full House votes.

This is a proper impeachment resolution for offenses against the Constitutional order, rather than pretending that impeachment has to be limited to more-minor offenses against the criminal code.

Sen. Jon Ossoff has signaled support for impeaching Trump. On Trump's meme coin last week: “When the sitting president of the United States is selling access for what are effectively payments directly to him, there is no question that that rises to the level of an impeachable offense."

Our president is a a convicted criminal. His criminal administration is arresting judges. Up is down. Black is white.

Mountains of shame on Shari Redstone and everyone else involved here trying to settle such a ridiculous and baseless legal action. They’re so poor, all they have is money and they will eventually pay the price for their grotesque behavior.

For shame Sheri Redstone. How much fucking money do you need that you are willing to destroy one of the pillars of accountability journalism and the country along with it. #save60minutes

NEW: Mahmoud Khalil's wife gave birth to their child without him after ICE denied their request to let him be present. “This was a purposeful decision by ICE to make me, Mahmoud, and our son suffer,” Dr. Abdalla said. “My son and I should not be navigating his first days on earth without Mahmoud."

🚨Stop Everything🚨….not sure if this is making the rounds here yet but this is University of Cincinnati music theater student Erin Morton and she’s blowing up over on TikTok for her stunning rendition of Radiohead’s "Creep"🔥….full tears going 🥹

Incredible- BREAKING: Supreme Court blocks Trump Administration deportations under the Alien Enemies Act with clear DIRECTION! 7-2 vote.

Today's pod: @anneapplebaum.bsky.social! On the parallels between gulag and CECOT (gulag is also an acronym, who knew?). Plus MAGA's cultural revolution, Trump's kleptocracy, the tragedy of USAID leaving Africa & more. www.thebulwark.com/p/anne-apple...

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
