A judge just ordered Rumeysa Ozturk released from detention after noting that the govt's entire case against her is that...she wrote an op-ed. Hard to overstate how bleak—and frankly embarrassing—it is that the Trump admin wants to jail & deport someone for speech. In America.

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

And it's obvious that border patrol's claim that he admitted to illegally entering was a complete lie, and thus any other time they claim someone admitted to illegal entry should be deemed noncredible

The Supreme Court in a 5–4 vote granted the Trump administration’s request to vacate a lower-court ruling preventing it from deporting people using an 18th century wartime law. However, it stipulated that those subject to law are entitled to notice and an opportunity to challenge their removal.

Republicans’ partisan spending bill turns the federal government into a slush fund for Donald Trump and Elon Musk. It’s unthinkable that any Senate Democrat would hand them a blank check by voting for cloture.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.
