CJ Roberts has stayed court order to return Md man erroneously deported, but his quick deadline for gov brief shows sense of urgency. Gov argument under Art II here is nonsense. I think it's highly likely SCOTUS orders his return. If not, then all is lost. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/u...

Donald's babysitters must have been extra-busy today keeping that thin-skinned toddler from seeing pics of all the thousands of people throughout America taking to streets to say they are OVER Trump and Musk and the chaos/destruction they bring.

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff
