Reminder that Trump was ordered by the Supreme Court to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States. That was nearly two months ago. If Trump can violate due process and openly defy a SCOTUS order, what’s to stop him from doing the same to anyone else?

Marie Harf nails it: Musk didn’t uncover waste—he fired Veterans, slashed Medicaid, and shut down aid to the world’s most vulnerable. Now China’s stepping in—and Republicans are stuck defending a billionaire with a chainsaw. This is the cost of cowardice.

Please read, this is important. Sorry it’s long. Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.

The Trump administration is deporting people in direct violation of court orders, and calling it an “administrative error.” That’s not just unacceptable. It’s unconstitutional.
