🚨According to litigators, ICE just put a dozen men on a flight (which may have already taken off) to SOUTH SUDAN, a country on the brink of civil war, in direct defiance of a court order requiring ICE to give people an opportunity to raise objections before being sent to a country not their own.

Except you show up at the place. Nobody's there. Check your phone. Reservation was made for Jan 2026. A trampoline park in Bowling Green emails saying you're being fined as a no show. United notification says now boarding for Heathrow. Your friends message asking why you're not home for your party.

What happened to personal freedom, individual choice, do my own research, make your own health decisions, etc.? Oh right, that was all always a lie.

If you mash up all of the cabinet's word vomit, you get a really incoherent vision, like "We need to increase spending to cut waste on fluoride to make smart kids who can toil in generational servitude in factories after we deport their parents, to punish China for causing the covid virus hoax."

Another insane story. The US has confiscated this family’s baby and put her into foster care, basically because the parents have tattoos — and deported the mom to Venezuela and trafficked the dad into prison in El Salvador. They have no known criminal record

Nothing to be scared of here in political terms. One of the least popular presidents is now even less popular than he was in his first term. People need to come out from under rocks.

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.

As much as Trump is a further departure from the rule of law and general regard for the American constitution, we've been gradually building toward this. Recall the Bush admin caused the deaths of literally hundreds of thousands of people in totally unjustified war substantiated by lies alone.

We've spent time thinking about American democratic institutions were unprepared to handle Trump. But it seems worth considering how the global financial system is also unprepared for someone with the sole power to move the entire global market to their personal advantage.

I sometimes wonder what these people even mean when they describe themselves as patriotic Americans. What hollow shell of ourselves do they envision as the thing they are respecting with this kind of dystopian, authoritarian nonsense? What even is 'America' if it allowed this?

Do not underestimate the possibility of the SCOTUS majority concluding this case by saying that US courts do not have jurisdiction because the deportee is geographically outside the United States, nominally concluding the case without judgement but still rendering a right to due process meaningless.

This is disgusting but we have to remember that we got to this point gradually via the precedents of Bush creating Gitmo and Obama killing US citizens abroad. We're far down the slippery slope.

Big day for concept that a government's inability to make credible commitments is really important. That is, why would markets believe that any repeal of Trump's tariffs is credible unless Congress passes legislation to durably constrain Trump's power on tariffs?

Trump 2.0 economic strategy: 1. Close Social Security offices and rob you of your Social Security benefits 2. Tank your 401k and cause Weimar-style inflation so you age and die in poverty ... 3. No one profits. Literally that's it. #DeathCult

No single individual should have this much power over the well-being of the whole world. The founders chose not to have a king, yet we have found ourselves with an emperor.

It's really disheartening when you realize that Republicans could have all of this - everything that is happening - by law, due to their control of all branches of government. Yet they choose to condone criminality and allow the president to commandeer government for personal gain and retribution.

1/🧵 Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative). This isn't partisan opposition to Trump—it's the judiciary functioning as intended by cutting across partisan lines to uphold the Constitution.
