Friends, I had the pleasure of joining my friend and fellow former federal prosecutor @alyseadamson.bsky.social to discuss Trump's ongoing attack on the rule of law. Hope you'll give it a look, and please follow/subscribe to Alyse on YouTube and elsewhere. Thanks friends. youtu.be/IPq6oHY1ivU

Reminder that our Constitution guarantees due process to ALL persons — not just citizens — and enshrines habeas corpus as a fundamental right. Either everyone has due process — or no one does.

If undocumented workers with no criminal history are being dragged from job sites that they’ve worked at for years, then when do the CEOs, contractors, and farm owners who employed them start getting handcuffed? Or is that not how “justice” works in America?

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be the story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

ICE is the January 6 insurrectionists all over again. Only instead of attacking law enforcement, they are pretending to be law enforcement. And instead of just terrorizing at the Capitol, they are doing it EVERYWHERE.

Since the AG doesn't seem to be getting ethics guidance from her team these days, I wanted to make sure she has the rule in the Justice Manual in front of her, which expressly prohibits this.

Scenes like this were DIRECTLY caused by Stephen Miller's wailing that ICE can't arrest the number of people he promised they would arrest (bc he lied abt how many criminal aliens there are).

The government is returning Abrego Garcia to the US where he will face criminal charges. In other words, due process, including an opportunity to defend himself in court. abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl...

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

@euronews.com @ec.europa.eu @chrismurphyct.bsky.social As Trump's draconian policies erase decades of American soft power and influence, China and others are filling the void. Trump's Reverse Robin Hood Scheme will backfire on all Americans. #ReverseRobinHood

Trump is losing in the courts. He's fighting publicly with Musk. His “big beautiful bill” has stalled. Trump is now left only with his vindictive rage. And of course his money-making schemes to line his pockets. He's likely to become even more unhinged — be warned.

If you are surprised that Musk is now bashing the GOP budget bill, I suggest you go back and read what I wrote in early February. For Trump, this has always been the plan. "Musk may believe he is doing all of this to cut the size of the government. But that is not Trump’s plan."
