"Without the taxes the IRS collects, the United States would essentially have no funds for key services and no creditworthiness, and the nation would rapidly grind to a halt. Ensuring that everyone pays their fair share is also a key component of the social contract."

I should probably be locked up in GITMO or shipped off to a prison in El Salvador for saying this.

Dan Caldwell is fired from the Pentagon for leaking inconvenient information that threatened to embarrass Donald Trump. Pete Hegseth is *not* fired from the Pentagon for leaking top secret military information that threatened the lives of our pilots overseas. #TrumpPriorities

Didn’t get a chance to post this earlier, but there was a huge turnout in support of Kilmar Abrego Garcia at the federal courthouse. From my seat in the jury room, I heard the supporters outside chanting throughout the hearing.

If it can happen to one of us, it can happen to all of us.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Noticed a bunch of these ornate gold medallions slapped all over the Oval Office. We found em on Alibaba. “High-density Home Decoration Polyurethane Appliques Ornament PU Foam Veneer Accessories” from seller Guangzhou Homemax Decorative Material Limited. sherwood.news/power/shop-t...

Judge Xinis in Tuesday eve order homes in on key issue: "Abrego Garcia appears to remain inexplicably detained in CECOT." She cites text in written agreement with El Salvador showing US control: That detainees are kept in CECOT “pending the United States’ decision on their long-term disposition.”

Just so we’re clear, everybody calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist” or a “gang member” are lying, and they know they’re lying, and they repeat it for purposes of confusing people who don’t follow this stuff closely into accepting what was done to him.

You have to listen to both sides of Matt Yglesias.

Everyone on Bluesky making sure their mutuals aren’t the Matt Yglesias sock puppet account by making them write a good post

1)The fact that the public likes Trump on immigration *generally* doesn’t mean all of his specific actions are popular, and this seems likely to turn the thermostat 2)as Lakshya says, this is an issue where you just can’t be bound by public opinion, it’s life-or-death for constitutional government

Never forget.

MAJOR SCOOP: The local detective who first accused Mr. Abrego Garcia of being a member of MS-31 was suspended from the police force and indicted merely WEEKS LATER for providing confidential information to a sex worker who he was paying in exchange for sexual acts.

Either the U.S. government *is* able to exert monetary and diplomatic pressure on El Salvador sufficient to produce Abrego Garcia’s release, or it isn’t. The latter would be either a bald-faced lie or a pretty stunning concession of our national impotence. The Vice President should pick one.

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

The phrase "rule of law" appears nowhere in the Constitution, so instead of fomenting outrage over Trump, America's law professors should embrace more noble pursuits, like researching crimes committed by Joe Biden's ancestors and live tweeting Fox & Friends. by Jonathan Turley

Jean Kashikov’s training period wasn’t set to end until January of 2026. But on April 10, as he was eating breakfast at the Denali Family Restaurant, he received an email from UAA that his SEVIS record had been terminated. (From @alaskapublic.org)

In this Ohio diner, a trophy still means a 38-28-34 blonde who finally marries you after you write your kids out of your will. But they do know this: The person who dropped the OSU national championship trophy wasn’t JD Vance but rather a BLM/Antifa impersonator paid by George Soros.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia has committed hundreds of crimes. And the fact that we can’t find evidence of any of them proves just how devious he was about covering it all up. by Marco Rubio and Stephen Miller

Former EEOC commissioner raises the good point that law firms who are cutting “deals” with the Trump to make employment investigations go away are receiving no protection from future claims. You can always count on the bully to come back for more.

Leavitt admitted that deporting U.S. citizens to Central American prisons is "a legal question that the president is looking into." No elected official should be willing to sell out Americans for imprisonment in foreign nations—even if they are convicted criminals.

Hey I have a Signal account in my bio if anyone wants to send me the new DOJ policy limiting employee social media use.

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

You see the similarities between this and, say, Trump's first impeachment, which was over him trying to get sketch characters in Ukraine to dig up phony dirt on the Bidens. It's just his entire way of doing everything.

Oh yeah a strongly worded letter is definitely going to do something, they’ll do change course when a judge goes “naughty boy!”

Sanders: I come from the state of Vermont and I am here Bakersfield. Alexandria comes from New York and she is here in Bakersfield. Mr. Congressman, you live in this district, why don’t you show up…

DOJ provides no new information on Abrego Garcia but says if he manages to return to the US, they'll detain him and remove him to a different country (not El Salvador) or seek to "terminate" his order of removal and send him back to El Salvador. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The Trump administration lies that it does not have the ability to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home. Bullshit. The administration is PAYING the Salvadoran government to keep detainees at CECOT. Congress - or a Court - could order those payments to stop, immediately, right now.

Donald Trump pardoned the violent insurrectionist who allegedly beat cops with a baseball bat on January 6th, and also tried to form anti-government gangs while in jail.

no criminal record no gang ties no tattoos active pending asylum case **19 years old** sent by trump to prison (forever?) in el salvador www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A federal judge in Vermont just questioned whether the Trump admin would instigate a "constitutional crisis" by not releasing Rumeysa Ozturk, the Turkish student at Tufts University, from immigration custody if he concluded her arrest was unlawful.

“I did not think we would get this authoritarian this fast,” Stewart said. “I really didn’t. I’m sorry. Who could’ve known? Maybe if somebody out there had yelled at me on @bsky.app about this, I would have known. But no one did, except every day, in all caps.”

i'm watching a group of conservative law professors insist that there is a grand debate over birthright citizenship that somehow escaped generations of scholarship and only popped into existence after a right-wing president announced an effort to nullify the 14th amendment.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia wasn't a "mistake." Fascism was their plan the whole time.

NEW from @MiamiHerald: as the Trump admin continues to cite tattoos as evidence of gang membership, experts on the Tren de Aragua gang again confirm that it does NOT use tattoos as a means of identification. The idea seems to have been invented by Americans.
