“The customs official canceled Ms. Petrova’s visa on the spot and began deportation proceedings.” One way to understand Trump effect in govt: an ever widening circle of people, like low-level customs officials, get to make categorical decisions abt lives of others. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/s...

Wow. This is from a Trump II State Dept appointee, Tibor Nagy, unloading on the DOGE shitshow as a "stage production which combined elements of a tragicomedy with the Twilight Zone." Again, this is a Trump guy talking. www.lubbockonline.com/story/opinio...

Total federal spending is up +8% in 2025 year-to-date on April 9 over 2024. The illusion that the fed govt is tightening its belt is contradicted by its own real-time expenditure data. Admin spectacularly hammering some things but raising spending elsewhere. Was -7% just after Inauguration Day.

Everything is waste, fraud, and abuse or a conspiracy when you don’t understand how anything works. It’s like a magic trick these morons keep using over and over.

Federal spending is *up* under Trump according to the Wall Street Journal. Chaos is not actually the same as cost savings. Actual budgeting is a kind of actual policy-making and takes real work spread over real time. Running around breaking stuff isn't that. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Part of how we got here was by not holding people who committed crimes against our country responsible for committing crimes against our country. Democrats should not make that mistake again.

Their plan is literally just do the 20th century over like a video game save, but this time no FDR and the robber barons win. When the fuck will people wake up and make a stand against these obvious fascists?

this is straightforwardly concentration camp stuff. just in very plain terms: we send people to camps now if we, the government, deem it necessary, without due process. you can file a habeas petition in the united states district court with jurisdiction over el salvador, i guess.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social can you please get Schumer back on to ask him how the “courts are the major key right now so we must vote for their CR” strategy is treating him? Has Justice Roberts saved democracy yet? I can’t believe Schumer hasn’t resigned.

This game is stupid. The entire last 10 minutes has come down to who the refs gave free throws to. Just incredibly poorly officiated.

I think the Supreme Court got the law badly wrong tonight. But beyond that, it’s just incredibly ominous that Roberts would throw Boasberg under the bus and hand Trump this big win when his administration has conducted this case in EXTREME bad faith from the start. slate.com/news-and-pol...

The government is snatching people off the streets and shipping them to foreign prisons from which, the government claims, they can never be extracted. All with no due process. It’s as bad as it gets. And this court is again avoiding the reality of what’s happening at all costs.

I’m really not sure how much this matters. We’ve seen ICE play shell games to avoid habeas petitions, as with Ozturk. So they just shuffle you around until your “reasonable time” is up, bundle you off to CECOT, and then whoops—no more jurisdiction!

Sotomayor: "The Government’s position is that not only noncitizens but also [US] citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal." www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

The Privacy Act is a post-Watergate reform intended to protect us from government overreach & abuse of power. When I served in government, we took it very seriously. Now, @donmoyn.bsky.social is right—it’s as if the law doesn’t even exist. That’s scary. www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

This is correct - and it’s crucial that Senate Democrats like Chris Murphy say this openly. Dems have held back for far too long out of a belief that their Republican colleagues secretly agree Trump sucks and will rein him in if Dems just play nice. That is just totally false.

The bar is on the floor but honestly it's just nice to hear a Democrat admitting that most Republicans in Congress are a lost cause.
