I applaud Judge Boasberg, but is there any chance at all of real consequences, or just more paper for them to sneer at? It would be nice if Drew Ensign pondered their appeal from a jail cell. www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

I'm glad to see there are still GAO people able, ya know, do things? You want efficiency? Root up REAL corruption and incompetence? That's their job. DOGE is all about dismantling our institutions,in the most illegal, chaotic ,privacy-invading, expen$ive way possible. As normal people expected.

Arresting someone at a citizenship interview. This dastardly criminal tried to hide out in a government office with an "appointment," but they got him! The banality of evil.

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

The regime has in fact been defying the judiciary for some time now. The only difference: they are getting less inclined to pretend-cooperate. I suppose there are isolated instances of obeying, when they feel like it. Follow Chris Geidner and Marc Elias for the full picture.

Missed in all the headlines about Bukele over the weekend: after claiming they had no way of knowing anything about Abrego Garcia, they declared him "alive and secure." Humans and government officials say "alive and well" but when you don't give a damn, secure -- we guarantee breathing --is enough.

It's really strange that all those "2A, Super Duper Christian Alpha Male"-types aren't spouting off their "I need an AR15 so we can be protected from the gub'ment"-nonsense given Trump's threats to send US citizens to American Concentration Camps in El Salvador. 🤷‍♂️

Basically: I don’t think people understand that 36 hours from now it’s possible that America will have a formalized system for abducting enemies of the regime and stashing them in foreign gulags, indefinitely. www.thebulwark.com/p/bukele-abr...

Make up your mind, Conservatives. Are you for the middle-class hard-working Canadians like you claim? or the 1% listed below? Cuz you can't really be for both. On top of that, I'm not sure this will work. I don't think we have the same veneration for billionaires that they have in the US.

Overlooked article from December. Hey, look, the gang's all here. Bukele's supports Russia's war against Ukraine, and looks like he's part of the worldwide oligarch coalition now. @bluefreedomquest.bsky.social , I thought might want to see this. www.benzinga.com/content/4267...

Kidnapping people and shipping them to a foreign torture gulag is massively illegal no matter who it is. So why are they pretending to care? It's prep work. Trump wants to send the alleged Tesla bombers there, none of whom are "heinous repeat offenders." www.financialexpress.com/world-news/w...

Sending Venezuelans to El Salvador would be improper enough, but this is the prison, for people convicted of nothing. Violates not only US law, and the US Constitution, but international law, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Because being evil is cool. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Deporting people means a judge signs a final deportation order, and the person is returned to their own country. What we are doing is kidnapping a person off the street and paying for them to be held indefinitely in concentration camps outside US courts' jurisdiction. 100% deliberately extralegal.

The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else. Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants. So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House. The hypocrisy is outrageous.

I'm glad that Senate democrats still have that ability. There's a reason for all the illegal executive orders. It gets it done, and then the courts have to try to stop them after the fact. Even with a lapdog Congress, there's at least some democracy still in play. Still not a good situation.

Pam Bondi pledged to attack the rule of law ("prosecute the prosecutors"), so what she calls "upholding" it naturally excludes rules of evidence, probable cause, protections against search and seizure and the rights of due process. In Bondispeak, the rule of law is what Trump says. That simple.

ICE isn't "deporting" immigrants, it is kidnapping them. DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it. Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them. Pam Bondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it.
