We are witnessing our government institutions — whose independence is vital for the fair functioning of our legal system — being compromised and their integrity undercut in real time. This is how tyrants undermine democracy.

Hegseth is now without a chief of staff, a deputy chief of staff and a senior advisor, less than 100 days into his tenure. A "senior defense official" suggested he made poor choices for who to trust in his inner circle, with another saying there would likely be more "chaos" to follow soon.

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.

BREAKING: SCOTUS orders the government not to remove anyone from the United States under Trump’s Alien Enemies Act proclamation who is a part of the potential class in the Northern District of Texas case until further order of the court. Only Thomas and Alito note their dissent.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Trump just posted a photo of himself holding up a piece of paper claiming to show tattoos on Kilmar Abrego Garcia that are related to MS-13. The paper he’s holding up has been digitally altered to add the characters MS-13. The claim comes from neo-Nazis on X who say the tattoos cover up “MS-13.”

They’re coming for Medicaid based on a lie about “waste, fraud, and abuse.” FIGHT BACK. TAKE A STAND. They’ll gut care for the poor, sick, elderly & disabled—just to feed billionaires tax cut. Social Security will be next. If we don’t stop them now, we’ll lose everything. Medicaid Cuts Kill US‼️

I think I’ve finally found a way to articulate my anger with Lisa Murkowski. It’s fine - even reasonable - to be scared. But YOU are being COWED. It’s also fine - although cowardly - to be cowed, I suppose. But not while holding a place of public trust. Step down and let sheroes lead if u won’t.

The Trump Admin is trying to disappear almost 200 more people to El Salvador. This is a violation of due process. If we let Trump get away with disappearing immigrants under the Alien Enemies Act, there is nothing stopping him from disappearing U.S. citizens next. (1/2)

“As a businessman, Trump spent a lot of his career profoundly in debt,” writes @davidfrum.bsky.social. “His bankers often bailed him out, and he seems to believe that the Federal Reserve should do the same for his presidency.”

Van Hollen: I should also just say, I mentioned the fake margarita, they actually wanted to have the meeting by the side of the pool in the hotel. They want to create this appearance that life was just lovely for Kilmar. Which of course is a big, fat lie.

This is happening at the Bluebonnet detention center in Anson, TX and appears to be in DIRECT VIOLATION of the Supreme Court's ruling requiring notice "afforded within a reasonable time and in such a manner as will allow them to actually seek habeas relief." It's been <24 hours.
