This is a huge deal. Casey DeSantis started a little pet project to “graduate” people off Medicaid but in actuality stole court settlements from FL taxpayers and funneled that money into political campaigns to fund opposition to medical marijuana and abortion rights amendments.

The Supreme Court ruled that the Trump admin must facilitate the return of SMART Union Local 100 apprentice Kilmar Abrego Garcia. They need to quit wasting time and bring our union brother home NOW!

NEW: Judge Boasberg finds probable cause for contempt against the Trump administration: "The Constitution does not tolerate willful disobedience of judicial orders — especially by officials of a coordinate branch who have sworn an oath to uphold it." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

When the “first hundred days” coverage starts, keep this in mind. FDR’s hundred days was a special session of Congress that passed legislation to enact his agenda. The story here is not how active the Trump administration’s been—it’s the unprecedented and unconstitutional consolidation of power.

We went from "one giant leap for mankind" with a collective effort to get humans on the moon - that even Soviet citizens celebrated - to "I got my wife to go to space for 11 minutes with my exploitation money." They spent more time doing the photo-shoot than they spent in space

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

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.”

Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been sitting in a Salvadoran prison for over a month because the Trump Admin made a mistake. Now, the Admin is defying SCOTUS & refusing to bring him back. If we allow Trump to violate Kilmar's rights, none of our rights are safe. Kilmar is all of us.

1. The North Carolina Supreme Court just TOSSED 260 BALLOTS in a razor close election for a seat on the same court The ballots were invalidated based on a claim by the Republican candidate that all of voters were "never residents" of North Carolina But that claim is false We have receipts

I overall remain steadfast in my belief that we will overturn the present moment and usher in something fundamentally better— but I do worry that it may only come after a lot more pain.

there is no fact-based evaluation that does not hold George W. Bush and Barack Obama partly responsible for where we are with Trump. For decades we let these guys extend the power of the executive and no one with power ever pushed back. We are reaping those consequences now.

Martin O'Malley just mentioned state attorneys general filing state kidnapping charges. Just imagine the collective cheer in this country if state troopers pulled over, arrested and cuffed a van full of masked ICE fascists.

I've been clear: if President Bukele doesn't want to meet here in D.C., then I intend to go to El Salvador this week to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's condition and discuss his release. Kilmar was illegally ABDUCTED and deported by the Trump Admin. He must be brought home NOW.

El Salvador is a contractor providing the United States with a paid service. The idea that we couldn’t get anyone they’re holding back with the snap of a finger just by asking is so ludicrous on its face, it seems less like a real excuse and more like a test of how much shit the courts will eat.

There is a very odd sect of people on here who ID as liberal but who are still somehow steadfast in their belief that only white college students have developed negative views of Israel. In reality, nearly 70% of Dem voters view Israel negatively and Black and Hispanic voters do so at a higher rate.

It is essential for the rule of law that everyone involved in this end up in prison. Nothing else is a sufficient deterrent against the intentional, repeated abuse of government power to systematically deny fundamental rights.

Your regular reminder that almost everything Trump is getting away with is not because of presidential strength, but because of congressional weakness and judicial deference. The constitutional tools are already there to fix this, but those who can fix it are refusing to do so.

related, as I pointed out in @ballsandstrikes.org, that's just not how due process works "people shouldn't get due process if they broke the law" ok but it's through due process that a judge determines whether anyone actually broke the law so where are we now ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...

The reason the conservative intelligentsia has spent decades pretending that societal shifts in cultural attitudes are the same as state coercion is to justify the use of state coercion against the elements of society they disapprove of.

Exactly. I really do understand those who say "fuck'em all, they got us here" - and yes, they did. But we need numbers, and I don't care anymore where they were politically. I care where they are. If they object to the Trump/Musk admin and are willing to work against it - welcome aboard.

The pattern is clear: on a popular level there is strong resistance to Trump, among the elite near total capitulation. In education we see grade school staff (principals, teachers) refusing to co-operate with Ice while Ivy League universities are silent. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

This isn't going to end until the judges start holding lawyers and DOJ officials in contempt and throwing them in jail. Even that might not end it, but there's no point trying to delay the inevitable. They're just getting bolder and more destructive as they go.

When tech billionaires say “delete IP law” what they mean is delete YOUR rights, not theirs. Think of it like trump tariffs. Completely arbitrary, frequently retracted, and always negotiable for the well-connected. Because the second a competitor starts stealing code, suddenly IP is sacred again.

Perioidic reminder that the reason you didn't see autistic people with intellectual disabilities on the street five decades ago was not because they didn't exist. It's because they were sent away to institutions and their parents were told to put away pictures of them.

Revealing just how selectively this administration respects national sovereignty. With Canada and Greenland, Trump threatens invasion enthusiastically. With El Salvador, Trump sees sovereignty as sacrosanct.

This picture of Whitmer is a legitimately stunningly perfect depiction of the Democratic Party right now. A bunch of fucking cowards capitulating and complying. Secretly totally on board with fascism while hiding behind their labels and “lesser of two evils you have no choice but to vote for me”.

Tale as old as time. Big businesses who make friends with the kleptocrats get special exemptions from the regulatory burdens so they can lock in their market position, rather than removing the regulatory burdens across the board.
