If Republican legislators are afraid, they should try imagining how the rest of us - without their power or their platform - feel.

No attorney general should ever speak like this. She's Trump's advocate, not the people's lawyer, which is what the AG's job is. Whatever state she is barred in should start disciplinary proceedings immediately. This isn't subtle or arguable, it's wrong.

This is EXACTLY what the Nazis did to ensure that German judges caved in to their fascism. This is EXACTLY why we must continue to oppose all of Trump's and Bondi's efforts to intimidate and coerce our judges.

No, the FBI arrested a judge THAT THEY CLAIM helped migrants. As if the Trump administration isn't capable of lying about that to stop a judge they don't like. Let's not amplify their claims.

A major update yesterday that I admit to having missed (was getting work done and having in-person meetings and not spending as much time online): the ACLU amended its complaint in front of Judge Boasberg and, in a filing today, is seeking the RETURN of everyone deported under the Alien Enemies Act.

JUST IN: The ACLU has added Andry Hernandez Romero, the openly gay barber/makeup artist, as lead plaintiff in its D.C.-based class action against the Alien Enemies Act. They say the US has "constructive custody" over those held in El Salvador. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

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.
