Important part of SCOTUS opinion rejects Trump DOJ position: "AEA detainees must receive notice after the date of this order that they are subject to removal under the Act...within a reasonable time and in such a manner as will allow them to actually seek habeas relief...before such removal occurs"

Pretty much sums it up.

Apart from showing how evil he is yesterday, Trump showed how he’s actually a bad—moronic—dealmaker. I mean, you’ve got some guy coming in to give you his country’s minerals. Wouldn’t you want to get him to sign first before berating him on global television?

A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky. kyivindependent.com/editorial-a-...

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

My Anger Over Trump's Attack Today Is Boundless open.substack.com/pub/therickw...

Katherine Graham stood up to Nixon. Jeff Bezos bows down to Trump. Decline is a choice.

Phil Sussman, an Army vet who worked for USAID, feels "absolutely betrayed" after receiving a termination letter.   "This isn't a meme. This isn't a tweet. This is myself and my wife and my three children who don't know how we're gonna pay the mortgage next month." www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

We had a couple people who were supposed to miss, but they showed up. Today was the easy hurdle for MAGA Mike, and he struggled with that. Now they got to line-item the details - that’s when the real screaming and infighting begins.

"Ukrainians have shown that fear of Russian domination is a powerful motivation, at least in Eastern Europe. Perhaps their spirit will, at this darkening hour, infect their neighbors to the west, who will prove themselves worthy of their freedom."

Spot on.

It's heartening that today the leaders of the two major parties in Germany are unequivocally anti-Nazi and anti-fascist. It's horrifying that today the president and vice-president of the United States of America are not.

While Donald Trump promised to lower prices on “Day One,” he has instead brought chaos and corruption rather than working to lower prices for eggs and other everyday items. The Administration needs to stop playing dangerous political games and deliver for working Americans.

"With the Trump administration taking its wrecking ball to the constitutional order here, it’s easy to miss the damage being done elsewhere. It has been costly in blood and treasure to pacify Europe as the foundation for this first liberal international order." www.thebulwark.com/p/hegseth-to...

"Using sophisticated and exotic military cargo aircraft—among the military’s most in-demand assets—to deport a few hundred people to the Guantanamo Bay detention camp is the definition of government waste." www.thebulwark.com/p/hegseth-to...

The Kennedy Center was created by bipartisan legislation signed by former President Eisenhower in 1958. President Trump appointed himself and members of his administration to the board.

"Silicon Valley types like to move fast and break things. I guess that’s fine if the only thing you break is your own bank account, but applying that spirit to foreign assistance (again, without a shred of legal authority) means breaking human beings."

"It is a CLEAR NIGHT, the lights on the plane were blazing, why didn’t the helicopter go up or down, or turn. Why didn’t the control tower tell the helicopter what to do instead of asking if they saw the plane. This is a bad situation that looks like it should have been prevented. NOT GOOD!! LEADER?

The convict wins again.

"In my conversations with educators, parents, teacher’s unions, and legal experts from New York to Baltimore, Chicago, Austin, Virginia, and Denver, I could sense a palpable psychic toll." Trump's immigration enforcement push is having its intended effect. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-turn...

America’s allies should be deeply concerned about Pete Hegseth’s confirmation hearing, @RadioFreeTom writes in The Atlantic Daily. “America’s enemies, meanwhile, are almost certainly laughing in amazement at their unexpected good fortune.” www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Let's not forget just yet that our new president had four criminal cases against him.

Note that this is a politician from Denmark's right-wing party

I want to thank the little voice in my head that stopped me from captioning this 'don't shoot the messenger'... www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu.
