YES!!!!!

STAND and DEMAND the immediate return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. BRING HIM HOME! Abrego Garcia is a SMART Local 100 first-year apprentice who was working full-time to support his young family — before he was brutally abducted and illegally deported to El Salvador. SMART General President…

This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

Buckle up, folks. This is a constitutional crisis unfolding before our eyes.

Oh yes

NEW: The Trump regime continues to defy court orders, and lawyers for Abrego Garcia - the Maryland father illegally disappeared to El Salvador - have initiated contempt proceedings. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/contempt-p...

the transfer to El Salvador of US deportees is, per Pres Bukele, a straight up contract that has “nothing to do w/foreign policy.” The fees we are paying makes their entire prison system “sustainable.” Don’t see how US can make argument that bringing A-G back is some sensitive foreign policy matter

This right here 🔥 “If there was market manipulation, it is a crime. Someone needs to go to jail… I want the documents. I want the Signal chats too, because I don’t trust them — that they weren’t sharing all this information across their Signal chats.” – @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social

Abrego-Garcia’s lawyers have asked for expedited discovery from US officials with knowledge of the terms of any deal with El Salvador and of A-G’s whereabouts. Expect Judge Xinis to grant it over howling objection, and for 4th Cir to deny US emergency appeal.

Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces. Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.

A state judge in Idaho — which has one of the strictest abortion bans in the nation — appeared to slightly broaden access to abortion there on Friday. In situations where a mother faces risk of death, the ruling allows for abortions even when death isn’t imminent.

Good way to see the current tariffs, as of literally today, is no tariffs on high value add manufactured goods marketed to middle and upper middle classes. Massive tariffs for cheap consumer items which amount to the biggest economic privilege of working class/middle class life in US.

Just in case those of us fighting for democracy in court didn't need another challenge, Big Law turning collaborators is here and growing. My firm and others continue to fight. We will never back down. We will never bend a knee. We will never obey.

This seems right, and all of this is WRONG.

BREAKING: the heroes at Susman Godfrey sue the Trump administration over the illegal retaliation against them They have more integrity in their pinky finger than these other firms that have been capitulating have in their entire partnerships And kudos to the team at Munger for representing them

NEW VIDEO: The U.S. House of Representatives passed a major voter suppression bill that would disenfranchise millions of eligible voters and badly undermine democracy. Paige and I break it down. youtu.be/XS8aePRgFU4?...

More law firrms have agreed to give Trump free legal services to support "conservative ideals" because he's threatened to abuse the powers of the presidency to cripple the firms financially. This is blatant extortion. Real dictator stuff. The law firms have thrown in with the traitors.

He said this in January, then in February, then again in March, now in April. Our weak president who promised to end this in 24 hours has no plan and Putin is just laughing at him. Empty, hollow threats and promises is Trump’s whole game.

Sorry, what?

The four law firms that it was announced are now Trump collaborators -- Kirkland & Ellis, Latham & Watkins, Simpson Thacher, and A&O Shearman Sterling -- ALSO agreed today to "Disavow DEI" as part of a settlement with EEOC. Why would any new associate join such a place? Why would any partner stay?

This is insane. Completely corrupt. These idiots have lost their damn minds.

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

I’ve never seen a tweet that more effectively communicates how we got to this current situation

So so excellent. @propublica.org just won the National Magazine Award for general excellence and for public interest reporting! asme.memberclicks.net/general-exce... 🎉🎉

America Last, Putin First

During Abrego Garcia hearing right now, Judge Xinis asks the DOJ attorney (Drew Ensign) where is Mr. Abrego Garcia. Ensign: I don't have that info. My clients haven't given me that info as of today. Judge Xinis: Where is he? Ensign: I don't have that info.

Two art restorers were putting the final touches on a months-long restoration of the tomb of Pope Urban VIII, who in 1626 consecrated St. Peter’s Basilica, when the convalescing Pope Francis appeared, unannounced, in a wheelchair — his third such surprise appearance in less than a week.

This was three months ago.

“Majorities of residents in most states say abortion should be legal. Only seven states have a minority in support of abortion rights: Arkansas (49%), Idaho (48%), Louisiana (42%), Oklahoma (46%), Tennessee (47%), Utah (44%) and West Virginia (41%).” baptistnews.com/article/63-o...

I was a social security recipient from the age of 12 through 18. That’s not some weird thing or corruption. It’s called survivors’ benefits. You don’t have to know this. You’re blessed if you don’t. But if you’re going to speak publicly abt the program you need to know this.

After massive public backlash, the Social Security Administration is rolling back its disastrous cuts to phone services. This is a huge victory for the public against DOGE's rampage. Keep up the fight.

Many thanks to @maddow.msnbc.com for featuring so much of @wired.com's DOGE reporting last night.
