Another example of how the MSM's gutlessness enabled Trumpism. Add "poll-washing" to your poltical vocabulary. Good piece, good thread ==>

INCREDIBLE opinion by Wilkinson refusing to stay Judge Xinis's orders in the Abrego Garcia case, condemning DOJ's arguments as "shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This reads like a fire signal to alert the more oblivious members of the Supreme Court that we are on the precipice of everything falling apart.

Sen. Van Hollen in El Salvador: "This is not about MS 13 … I have been fighting MS 13 probably longer than Donald Trump even knew about MS 13." "This is simply about letting [Abrego Garcia] have his day in court. We use the courts to make sure that we don't convict people who are not guilty."

And of course, if the State Dept. even THINKS YOU MAY THINK something like, "Huh, I wonder, in America should we give Green Card holders due process?," then you are subject to arrest and a lifetime in El Salvadore.

Trump’s plan to gut the VA will leave thousands of veterans without access to the health care they need, and will devastate an entire workforce. I was proud to join nurses in San Diego to stand up for our veterans.

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.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

"Incarceration is a penal act. It is controlled by laws...Liquidation is a political act. It is arbitrary, opaque, and unappealable....This is why Donald Trump cannot allow Kilmar Abrego Garcia to return to the United States." This is the fight.

This was it, the final institutional guard rail, and Trumpf blows it off. If we don't stand up for Kilmar, there will be no one to stand up for us. Please join Saturday's rally!

We need to be done with the cutesy questions and word play. Trump sent innocent men to a gulag. Say that as plainly (& loudly) as possible. Anything less is journalism malpractice. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/w...

Once again our Gov is showing Democrats how its done. This Trump/ Bukele stuff is obscene. Every Democrat leader should be out there condemning it just like this. The Dem leaders in DC should have been screaming about it from the rooftops. And not just once, but non-stop.

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

The Roberts Court has been very clear. Constitution says that as long as the president doesn't try to forgive any student loan debt or enforce the 14th Amendment, he's good.
