Obviously, a huge victory for the migrants here and a major defeat for Trump’s lawless effort to rush out a rendition flight before the courts could act. But also—potentially a massive signal from the Supreme Court that it is finally prepared to go toe to toe with Trump to halt AEA deportations.

The only plausible reason for the Supreme Court to rush out its order at 1 a.m. is that a majority of justices refused to trust the Trump administration's promise that it wouldn't secretly deport migrants without due process. That alone marks a hugely consequential shift. slate.com/news-and-pol...

The existential national crucible that Donald Trump has brought to the fore with his experiment in disappearing people to a torture gulag in El Salvador presents us with one of the starkest test of values and the constitution our country has ever faced. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/has-americ...

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

Look, you can't reduce the price of eggs without destroying the constitution, ripping innocent people from their homes if Trump doesn't like them, imprisoning and torturing them without any recourse to the law. Mind you, it seems Trump can't even reduce the price of eggs WITH all those powers.

I mean.

It all makes sense once you realize a recession is actually a good thing for the 1%.

To appreciate how the US has changed, watch these classic movies. - The Post - All the President’s Men - Hidden Figures - American President - Dave - Apollo 13 - Good Night & Good Luck - Imitation Game - Spotlight - Wag the Dog - Die Hard With A Vengeance The world they depict is unimaginable now.

Is this what they meant by a Red Wave?

Hiding from the public sounds like a solid plan moving forward 🙄

I don't know who this guy is but he's absolute right.

Since Congress’s allotted funds have already been improperly unallocated, U.S. citizens are questioning whether they are legally required to continue paying federal taxes.

Clearly US must recuse itself from negotiations as Trump is comprised. The interests of the aggressor in a war should not be taken up by the third party. Normalizing the invasion of sovereign nations is how WW3 starts. Threatening Canada and Greenland with being American states is how WW3 starts.

Worth noting that if the true goal of psychopath @elonmusk is to be remembered as one of history’s greatest mass murderers, then he’s well on his way… prospect.org/world/2025-0...

The religious right has persuaded me to embrace one of its core beliefs. Its support for a fascist criminal traitor has made me believe in the concept of evil.

It’s nice how they’ve replicated the middle school dynamic of the insecure bully and his sniveling sidekick picking on someone surrounded by a circle of scared little boys who also try to talk shit so the bully doesn’t come after them. Or as the right calls it, “masculinity.”

Brutal.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

Trump's new FAA Administrator

Because you are sucking up to the owner of your newspaper?

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Investigative reporters should identify DOGE's band of hackers and trace their activity before and during election night. The GOP threaded too many needles in key states in Nov, and it seems as if they're making controversial decisions now without fear of mid-term losses. Check the long con game.

You do get that this is a Hitler quote, right? You do get that this is a madman, right? You do get that this won’t stand, right? You do get that no one is coming to save us, right?

Our team reviewed the entire DOGE website. Nothing they have identified constitutes evidence of fraud or corruption—both of which are crimes. Feel free to audit us. The funds were allotted by Congress, and OIGs regularly reviewed expenditures for fraud.

"Daddy says he owns you. Can you get me an ice cream?"

Is Trump ever going to get the “mentally unfit” treatment from the press that Biden got?

My kinda Porta-Potty 🧻

New York Times headlines are so sanitized of value judgments. This one says, basically: Is Ethnic Cleansing Practical?
