This is insane and everyone involved needs to be sued into oblivion and then go directly to jail

Newmax is trying to figure out how Trump can continue to defy the Supreme Court's order and it's not a good look. Next suggestion: "Just tell the court 'no backsies', that should do it."

1. Malarkey. States determine disciplinary measures in schools *in that state* -- not the federal government. 2. This means corporal punishment, doesn't it. Or calling the cops to handcuff Black 6-year-olds. Because you know who this is directed at.

So, uh, it certainly looks like DOJ intended to file a letter to Judge Liman in MTA v. Duffy, but….it accidentally filed a letter containing its legal advice to the Department of Transportation instead storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

"Charging visitors a $100,000 fee per visit directly payable to Trump was another one of his fun ideas. So was putting his name up in neon letters on the front lawn. We laughed and laughed when we heard that one."

Romero: When the Supreme Court said, “You now have to file habeas petitions in each of the different jurisdictions,” most people would’ve paused—but we got up and did it. We started filing habeas after habeas in every one of those district courts.

This is only for white babies. Mothers of Black babies will get zero while still being labeled "welfare queens."

It is true that the government, which is bound by the Constitution's requirement that it provide due process, is expected to behave better than criminals.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: "The United States government quite literally disappeared these people. It won't say where they are. We don't know. Their families do not know where they are. And they have essentially no recourse in U.S. courts because there are no records of their whereabouts."

I hate the way media fall back on the word "controversy." MSNBC just called SignalGate a controversy, as if there's a rational debate over whether sharing military secrets with a journalist and your wife is a good or bad thing.

NEW from @nytimes.com: A bone-chilling account. A Venezuelan man detained alongside the 238 sent to El Salvador on March 15 seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. His name isn't among the names of those sent to CECOT that day and no one spotted him among those men. He's just... gone.

I've seen far too many people responding to the NIH autism registry idea by pointing out that medical registries are normal and can be valuable, which would be a valid point if it wasn't being proposed by an unscientific, eugenicist administration looking to do a sham study about autism.

Trump is mad at the US because we didn't (1) elect him in 2020 and (2) rebel against the Biden administration to install him even after he got defeated. And he's going to make us pay and pay and pay for his perceived humiliation. The only exceptions will be the billionaires who suck up to him.

The poorest states have the most Medicaid recipients and are therefore least able to fund this plan. The poorest states are also redder, so this hurts more Republican voters. The GOP doesn't care about their voters. Not even a little.

The math here is simple. Republicans have passed a budget framework where very large cuts to Medicaid will have to occur. Now, they are preemptively shifting the blame for those cuts to Governors, who cannot engage in deficit spending. All of this is for a regressive tax cut.
