The lies Pam Bondi and Stephen Miller just told about Abrego Garcia on national TV... ...I have no words for them. I am sick of calling things obscene or deranged. These are obviously evil people charting an obviously evil course for our country. The idea of Hell was devised for people like this.

For the record, Garcia is not a terrorist and has no criminal record. The Trump Administration has already admitted it mistakenly deported him. The Supreme Court has unanimously ordered the Trump Administration to “facilitate” his return.

Lawyers across the country, including me, are ringing the bell as loud as we possibly can about the fact that the Abrego Garcia case signals the end of our democracy. The vicious, fascistic lies Trump, Bondi, Miller, and Homan have told about it underscore that they know exactly what they're doing.

El Salvador won’t return Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Meanwhile, Trump is not only refusing to bring him back—he is lying about the Supreme Court ruling compelling him to do so.

"Do you know one thing I never did to cope or in response to my autism? Repeatedly fire off a Nazi Roman salute." An incredible piece from The Big Picture that doesn’t hold back.

Donald Trump is openly defying a court order. All he had to do was ask Bukele to return Garcia (who is not a terrorist), but he refused to. Both Trump and Bukele are lawless liars.

There’s been a lot to be upset about in the last few months. But as an American, this truly disgusts me. The USA’s closest ally now is a guy who calls himself the “coolest dictator” — this Oval Office meeting is like a huge F.U. to the judicial branch and the Supreme Court’s 9-0 decision

If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury. This lawless administration has to be subjected to rule of law.

Bukele is a lesser dictator. He is saying what trump has told him to say. That means Trump has no intention of returning Abrego Garcia. If SCOTUS lets him get away with it (which I think they will), Trump can erroneously send whomever he wants to die there.

I blame Chief Justice Roberts. He clearly has no idea who he is dealing with in Trump. He is allowing Alito and Thomas to frog-march America into full-blown fascism. The April 10 SCOTUS order was an abomination—and I and many others _instantly_ saw (and said) that it would lead us where we are now.

Surely, it won't be lost on the courts that if Donald Trump has the influence over El Salvador President Nayib Bukele to persuade Bukele to get on a plane to come to the United States, he has the influence over Bukele to get him to put a kidnapped prisoner on a plane to come to the United States.

The U.S. says it doesn’t have the power to return Abrego Garcia. El Salvador also says it doesn’t have the power to return Abrego Garcia. It’s obvious bullshit and depraved to the core.

Trump is talking about shuttering publications and networks he disagrees with. He's talking about deporting and imprisoning Americans who dissent. This is unprecedented and undemocratic. Wake up America.

You will find the scope of this new PROOF report—the third in a series on the Trump-El Salvador Scandal—staggering. You will want to know this information before the Trump-Bukele Summit Monday. It is worse than anyone feared.

The #tariffs and #signalgate and even the gutting of federal agencies pale in comparison to what's happening with #immigration and #elsalvador and #cecot. I dread the weekends now because that's when #trump drops the worst. @sethabramson.bsky.social summarizes and spells out the consequences.

The videos showing the El Salvador prisoners makes me so sick. I can’t watch the footage. To know that the administration puts them out because Trump’s base enjoys the sadism is all we need to know. They are sick and depraved and vile people.

The top story in the United States this week is the atrocities developing as a result of the relationship between Donald Trump and Nayib Bukele. Not tariffs. Not Katy Perry. Not whatever new dumb shit Elon Musk did. Major media needs to get this right and show America it is still paying attention.
