Arresting judges. Threatening allies. Lying about trade deals. Trying to sell campaign merch from the White House. Floating a 2028 run. Deranged. Dangerous. Undemocratic. We must retake our democracy.

This is a very clever and important move by the ACLU. #SCOTUS has held that D.D.C. is a proper venue for habeas petitions from those held outside the United States. This would keep the AEA case before Chief Judge Boasberg alive in a way that is consistent with SCOTUS's April 7 ruling in J.G.G.

the thing about Hegseth is he's a symbol of just how bad it is to have a guy who knows fuck-all about being President at the desk. everybody else around him is to some degree another Hegseth. Hegsethism is the ideology of this presidency. quick somebody commission me to write a study of Hegesethism

A bizarre turn of events in the AEA cases, with Pres Bukele now saying he'll send all the prisoners back to the US if Venezuela releases a commensurate number of prisoners, including opposition members. Underscores how easy release is but also injects a new political angle to the whole mess.

WOW. SCOTUS has BLOCKED the administration from deporting class members under the Alien Enemies Act until further order of SCOTUS. This is the case Boasberg couldn’t issue a TRO in earlier because he didn’t have jurisdiction. I’m honestly shocked.

#MedicaidCutsKillUs Medicaid is not just for those in poverty, which is so important. It funds most nursing home care, 40% of births, and 38% of children's health care. Tell the Republicans in Congress not to cut Medicaid to fund billionaire tax breaks!

I will lay down a marker on the sending US citizens to El Salvador thing: it happens suddenly in that we will wake up one day and they did it to dozens-hundreds of people with no warning, or not at all. I do not think there will be any gradual ramp up that succeeds.

No American can afford to ignore the systematic erosion of what it means to be American. We are way past political and ideological disagreements. What’s at stake is our adherence to the Constitution and rule of law. What safeguards all of our rights. Without it, we cease to be America.

All right, @schumer.senate.gov - Trump and his administration are saying they're not going to comply with SCOTUS' ruling. That was your red line. Are you going to start acting with urgency since democracy and rule of law are on the line? The time is NOW! If you can't, step aside as Leader.

anyone who is acting like the US and el salvadore simply accidently deported the wrong people and can’t find them is lying because they don’t want to admit they rather like that fascistic deporting of political enemies into death camps is essentially legal now

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring all removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

The fact that #SCOTUS hasn't yet ruled in Abrego Garcia isn't proof of how the justices are going to rule. But the longer it takes, the more it suggests that there isn't a majority of the Court who views this dispute with the same urgency that so many of us do. And that's a problem unto itself.
