He can't possibly be this stupid.

The Onion really pegged this one.

NEW: We obtained DHS data that shows the US knew only 32 of the 238 Venezuelans deported to a prison in El Salvador in March were convicted of US crimes, only 6 of those violent. Trump called them “savages,” “monsters” and "the worst of the worst.” www.propublica.org/article/trum...

The thing with replacing the rule of law with a mafia state is that it's not good for business even if it can be good for particular businesses at particular times; whether Silicon Valley elites will be able to see through their crushes on Donald Trump and figure this out, who knows

Extremely important that this does not pass the Senate. The courts will be stripped of their enforcement powers and people will go hungry and worse.

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few: 1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

I just talked about this trend recently, though I completely forget when and where it came up, but, yes, John is 100% right here.

NEWS: These filings allege the Trump administration has *already* sent flights to South Sudan in violation of an existing preliminary injunction.

Very important analysis by @rgoodlaw.bsky.social on abuse of intelligence services by the govt. in Abrego Garcia case.

Thank you for THiS! So important to hear. The second founders made the country what attracts people from all over the world: The promise of equal protection and the inspiring example of hard- fought for civil rights. And the great culture born from it.

As MAGA Republicans slash healthcare and nutrition to pay for billionaire tax cuts, they are happy to fund the "Nuremberg rallies" phase of Trump's totalitarian agenda. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

“And so the Greeks send me this horse, we’re talking about one of the most beautiful horses you’ve ever seen. So big. So strong. Normally they keep this kind of horse for themselves but they were such big fans they said sir, please take our big wonderful horse we’ll even bring it to your house”

🙏🏼 The framing of this and related articles...as if those who reside here without citizenship are lesser somehow. I get that you want to drive the danger home to folks with the power to vote but yet, we can use language in a way that emphasizes bonds and sympathy with those who are only at home here.

Rümeysa Öztürk has finally been ordered released. She has been unlawfully detained for more than six weeks in an ICE facility in Louisiana, more than 1,500 miles away from Somerville. This is a victory for Rümeysa, for justice, and for our democracy.

With reports of Trump admin. plan to send migrants to Libya This analysis by @becingber.bsky.social @scott-roehm.bsky.social is relevant "Non-refoulement is ... codified in US statutes. It prohibits States from transferring...person would be at risk of certain serious human rights violations."

Very important. A law firm needs to be on this.

Something tells me this isn’t going to go very well for Generalissimo Donaldo.

Smart man.

INCREDIBLE NEWS!!! Last night I joined @balint.house.gov and an amazing group of Dem legislators to demand Mohsen's release and stand with all those who are unjustly and unconstitutionally detained. Truly amazing to see him free, and humbling to witness his courage in the face of Trump's attacks.

The fact that they are trying it though...💔 anyways, Thank YOU!!!

“Thank God for the Supreme Court. This is not a sentence that I have been accustomed to typing in recent years—not since President Trump, during his first term, engineered a six-Justice conservative super-majority.” www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Basically, in the corridors of power in DC it's all about "being spiritual kings in the eyes of your bros." Nobody writes with that degree of insight today like Antonia Hitchens!! 🔥 Also, new crush alert: @rephuffmann "Follow the Leader" www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Happy 250th Anniversary of Lexington and Concord from the Supreme Court of the United States

Note import of what Geidner is saying. Alito dissent may simply say, "this appeal isn't before us, even on rocket docket." But some majority (not clear it's 7) thought they had to stay up late on most important Catholic weekend to intervene to protect due process for people being loaded on planes.

The SCT acting fast and not in line with tradition to save people and the rule of law.
