The End….Cartoonist is Ann Telnaes

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Xinis says she's going to force multiple Trump administration officials to sit for depositions over the next 7 days to confirm whether they're complying with the Supreme Court.

This picture may haunt me to the end of my days. It is an ICE agent taking an axe to the car window of an immigrant in New Bedford, MA. Not far from where I sit now. An immigrant with no criminal record was abducted by this smiling man. An axe taken to a car window and to our democracy. 1/ #MomSky

Very clear pic of the gleeful agent though. Noted.

Gonzalez: Are you on the side.. that sends them to foreign prisons without due process? No. I’m on the side of the fucking constitution

I understand what Judge Xinis is doing. She is building a factual record so that that record will be crystal clear when this case gets back to the Supreme Court. But I also know it is taking too long. Two weeks is too long. Keep in mind Bukele will just kill Garcia at the last moment if he has to.

Biden says Trump took a hatchet to Social Security—and he’s right. 7,000 staff gone in under 100 days. Musk’s DOGE has access to SSA data. And now they’re floating lies about 300-year-olds on benefits to justify gutting the system. They’re not fixing anything. They’re wrecking it to rob it.

As far as I can tell, the first person to ever accuse him of human trafficking is Leavitt herself (I'd love to know if someone else made the claim first). Certainly, no official has ever made that claim to a court, nor offered any evidence of it whatsoever. It seems the White House made it up.

If only there were a way to prove any of these allegations. Some sort of due process or something.

Rep Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY): “Mr. Abrego Garcia must be returned immediately before he is killed in one of the most dangerous prisons in the world. Enough with the fake bravado. This is not America. The Supreme Court must aggressively enforce its order immediately.”

Have we really become so woke that we are no longer comfortable sending innocent people to die in torture camps?

Reup: If Kilmar Abrego Garcia was as dangerous as Stephen Miller alleged yesterday, then why the fuck did Donald Trump free him in 2019? (And other questions elicited by yesterday's fascist spectacle.) www.emptywheel.net/2025/04/15/w...

if you lived through the lead up to the iraq war then you know that this is the most delusional thing anyone has ever said

Bring him home…👇 No more excuses. Bring. Home. Abrego. Now. ✨ #BringHomeAbrego

JUST THE FACTS…👇 Enjoy. 😎✨

This part

Continue panicking.

Correct.

First time we’ve seen this in any poll in a long time.

Whenever you see “this isn’t about politics” these days, you know something stupid is about to follow. You VOTED for him, you dumbcuck! Three times! That's politics! 🙄 #INeverThoughtTheLeopardsWouldEatMYFace

Pam Bondi Refuses To Answer Whether Trump Proposal To Send U.S. Citizens to Foreign Prisons Is ‘Legal’ https://twp.ai/4imcsX

Prof. Wurman, I've questions about the Stuart Constitution and your new anti-birthright citizenship paper. If the paper is premised on the idea that people have been wrong because- for decades- scholars have overlooked important nuances in legal history, then I don't think you pass your own test.

The consensus among the rich seems to be that character is irrelevant, perhaps because they have so little of it themselves.

It looks like "be more racist" is not a great business strategy.

Certainly worth repeating in the times we are in..

Bumbling fool JD Vance tries to pick up the already great and beautiful trophy for the College Football Playoff National Championship... and destroys it. (This is a metaphor for America.)

Do these ICE agents realize that they are liable, and can be charged and arrested for these crimes, even if it takes a long time. Look what happened to all of the gestapo guards that paid the price after WW2. They will chase them down even if they are grandparents when they finally get to them.

Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

There’s a video circulating on social media that Trump raised the minimum wage to $25 an hour. 1. That’s a lie 2. Trump can’t do that 3. Trump wouldn’t do that even if could 4. Trump actually just *cut* contractor minimum wage.

Here you have two sitting presidents both claiming to not have the power to return a man they erroneously deported and detained. All while Trump also floated sending *US citizens* to El Salvador for crimes.

Trump Just Defied the Supreme Court. What Is John Roberts Going to Do About It? www.thebulwark.com/p/what-is-jo... @kaltoons.bsky.social

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

Democratic governors need to step the fuck up NOW.

I have the same suspicion. Both this and the decision to send planes to El Salvador on March 15 in spite of Boasberg's order seem to come from him. Then he goes out and shrieks on TV, including on TV that SCOTUS watches.

What if, purely hypothetically, Stephen Miller was the guy who ordered flights to go even in spite of Boasberg's order on March 15. What if, also hypothetically, not all the people on the third plane had deportation orders? Does Abrego Garcia even? What if there are 50 more like him?
