Trump made a bunch of terror in today's Bukele event, which distracted from much else. He also tried to reset legal case w/Abrego Garcia. Here's what I think he tried to do. Why does that matter? Bc there's still a legal & political fight to fight RIGHT NOW. www.emptywheel.net/2025/04/14/w...

We are also at a political crisis, one most people are abdicating. Trump did this presser to shift that political (and legal) fight. And unless people figure that out, we will lose. Why are we talking about US citizens instead of due process proclamations of terrorism?

Since the start of the Trump Administration, thousands of constituents have contacted my office who are concerned about Elon Musk’s access to their private data. I’ve filed a discharge petition, which starts the process to force a vote on my bill to end Musk’s illegal access to your data.

Foreign Friends with Travel Plans to the U.S. for Conventions: A bit back I said you should maybe reconsider those plans. I would like to amend my prior statement. Cancel them. Cancel them now. We cannot keep you safe from our own government. Take your holiday in Spain or something.

The Trump admin has just detained Mohsen Mahdawi, who: –has green card –was Columbia Buddhist club president –saw his best friend shot & killed by Israeli soldier –said "we are against antisemitism because antisemitism is a form of injustice, and injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"

WOW. The Trump admin is attempting to strip a green card from a Buddhist Palestinian who's committed to nonviolence, just because he advocated on behalf of Palestinian human rights. Free speech is being trampled on by this administration.

An unappreciated part of this story: the person doing the arrest wasn't an ICE agent, it was an ATF agent. According to Reuters, 4 out of every 5 ATF agents has been reassigned to do immigration enforcement. So it's a great time to be a gun runner in the United States.

NEW: I confirmed w/ CBP that the email @nicolemicheroni.bsky.social receive telling her to self-deport is real, not a scam. It's also is very weird and likely causing fear and chaos. I spoke w/ Micheroni—a US citizen and immigration attorney—about her experience. www.wired.com/story/homela...

This meets @schumer.senate.gov's test of "defying the Supreme Court." SCOTUS unanimously held Abrego Garcia "was subject to a withholding order forbidding his removal to El Salvador, and that the removal to El Salvador was therefore illegal." But Trump admin says right person, right place.

I have the same suspicion. Both this and the decision to send planes to El Salvador on March 15 in spite of Boasberg's order seem to come from him. Then he goes out and shrieks on TV, including on TV that SCOTUS watches.

What if, purely hypothetically, Stephen Miller was the guy who ordered flights to go even in spite of Boasberg's order on March 15. What if, also hypothetically, not all the people on the third plane had deportation orders? Does Abrego Garcia even? What if there are 50 more like him?

Stephen Miller is a liar and a propagandist and while there is clear value in understanding what he's saying as a means of understanding what the administration is doing, not a single fact out of his mouth can be trusted.

A disgrace. “What emerges is a picture of how a child development researcher charged with no crime ended up in a crowded cell in Louisiana [and of] a sprawling, opaque apparatus designed to deport the maximum number of people with minimum accountability.” www.propublica.org/article/rume...

You don’t have to be particularly sharp to decipher the code here. But if you need someone to say it, this is a major technology company and a sizable defense and intelligence contractor publicly declaring, with only the thinnest patina of deniability, that its cause is white nationalism.

President Trump is defying a Supreme Court order to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia, at the same time that Trump is entertaining the President of El Salvador at the White House. Demand your members of Congress do more! I just called my reps with @5calls.org, you should too: 5calls.org

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

New photos show that Governor Shapiro and his family were clearly attacked. Firebombing the home of a Jewish Governor on Passover smacks of violent antisemitic hatred. This is what happens when so many remain silent while vile, dehumanizing Jew hatred becomes commonplace. Silence is violence.
