15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Yesterday they refused to answer two of the three questions ordered. Today's refuses to address, in any way, all three. None of this has anything to do with the order. This is open defiance of a district court backed by a unanimous three-judge circuit ruling and a unanimous 9-0 Supreme Court ruling.

Nobody knows from one hour to the next what the policy of the US govt is that impacts trillions of dollars in global trade. There is no economic certainty for investors, corporations, or small businesses. Mad King Donald is determined to wreck this economy.

The economy is cratering, the White House has fractured the country’s longest-standing global alliances, and foreign nations are marking the end of American dominance. And Donald Trump is focused on slandering his first-term enemies.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens. Fascism is here.

NEW: A second filing today from the DOJ tells Judge Xinis that in their view, since Mr. Abrego is in Bukele's custody, she can't order them to do anything further to bring him back since that's not what "facilitate" means. They also say the deal with Bukele is classified and/or a state secret.

Trump’s attacks on the rule of law not only affect the legal profession, but all citizens. “I realized, it might have to be me,” says @cohen489.bsky.social, who resigned from their firm over the Trump deal, urging others to “pay attention” to the attacks on the justice system.

Does Donald Trump even know what a trade deficit is? He seems to think it’s a sign that America is being “ripped off” and says it’s why his tariffs are necessary and that it’s a sign. But it's not inherently a bad thing. Here’s what having a trade deficit actually means. #velshi

Judge Xinis said Friday “There are no business hours in this court.” I’ll be keeping an eye on her docket this evening given Trump’s late and insufficient response to her order, and Abrego Garcia’s motion to show cause. Not to mention Trump’s assertion that Bukele has sole custody.

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
