Exiling people beyond the protection of US law without due process is not only unconstitutional, it's a rejection of the entire American revolutionary project. Sending people "beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences" is one of the grievances enumerated in the Declaration of Independence.

“Critics once described Brexit as the greatest act of economic self-harm by a Western country in the post-World War II era.” Trump will top that in the US.

This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

I'm able to make this animation of how the ocean breathes in and out CO₂ because of data collected by NOAA scientists, data served at NOAA websites, and tools provided by NASA. All are under threat of being dismantled by the Trump administration.

This right here 🔥 “If there was market manipulation, it is a crime. Someone needs to go to jail… I want the documents. I want the Signal chats too, because I don’t trust them — that they weren’t sharing all this information across their Signal chats.” – @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social

the transfer to El Salvador of US deportees is, per Pres Bukele, a straight up contract that has “nothing to do w/foreign policy.” The fees we are paying makes their entire prison system “sustainable.” Don’t see how US can make argument that bringing A-G back is some sensitive foreign policy matter

El Salvadoran President Bukele is visiting the White House on Monday. What do you think the odds are that if the administration asked, in concurrence with the visit, for El Salvador to return Albrego Garcia that they would refuse? 10,000 to 1? Higher?

The United States Supreme Court, as packed by the Federalist Society, as supported by the Randy Barretts and Ilya Shapiros and Jonathan Turleys of America, is suited to squabble over what “facilitate” means but not to achieve justice or protect or defend the United States Constitution.

The administration is going to run into a legal bind. (1) As a baseline OUTER limit, the written agreement with El Salvador is limited to 1 year. (2) The text reads: "pending the United States’ decision on their long term disposition."

As I’ve said, yes, this was their aim all along. That’s why they didn’t just send these people to Gitmo. This is an attempt to find a step beyond Gitmo where the court says, “Well, our hands are tied.” It’s an awful, lawless gambit that must fail, but that is what they want it to be.

Is there any link between the Trump admin’s “deal” with El Salvador and Bukele’s plan for a “Bitcoin City,” which was going to be scaled back in order to receive loans from the IMF — and Trump admin’s plans to use gold reserves to buy Bitcoin? Or all just coincidence theweek.com/business/eco...
