The Trump administration has settled on One Weird Trick to avoid judicial review: Kill nationwide injunctions, refuse to respect lower court rulings, and keep cases away from the Supreme Court indefinitely. Oddly, it was Kagan and BARRETT who hammered this yesterday. slate.com/news-and-pol...

HUGE. A direct rebuke to the Trump administration's practice of shoving people onto planes: "Under these circumstances, notice roughly 24 hours before removal, devoid of information about how to exercise due process rights to contest that removal, surely does not pass muster."

BREAKING: The Supreme Court holds that the Trump administration violated the due process rights of Venezuelan migrants last month in its rushed effort to expel them to El Salvador in the middle of the night (which SCOTUS blocked). Alito and Thomas dissent. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

What’s supposed to happen? If my daughter is out and masked men grab her, claiming they’re ICE, drag her away w/out letting her prove she’s a citizen… w/out calling me, her dad… what is she supposed to do? Does she not have the right to fight back, as we have taught her, to free herself. Run? 1.

RFK says we shouldn’t take medical advice from him? Thanks, Captain Obvious, but also why are you the Secretary of HEALTH and Human Services if we can’t trust you with medical advice?

In Peter Navarro's defense, he never specified that America would be party to any of the deals.

Elon Musk’s AI company is belching smog-forming pollution into an area of Memphis that already leads Tennessee in asthma hospitalizations. xAI has become one of the county’s largest emitters of smog-producing nitrogen oxides.

After the L.A. fires, federal and state disaster agencies refused to perform comprehensive soil testing to ensure properties in burn zones are free of fire-related contamination. Testing conducted by The Times reveals elevated levels of arsenic, lead and mercury in postfire soil.

Why? There is no emergency. Trump clams border crossings are down. This is an assault on America.

This is nuts. Trump White House proclaimed on April 28 that it ā€œachievedā€ ā€œborder security.ā€ So there’s no invasion and no emergency. This is just a fascistic power grab.

The amount of Russian soldiers in this picture is how many are killed or wounded every three days

They are obviously slow learners

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.
