NEWS A U.S. citizen, a decorated Army veteran, and 15-year ICC war crimes prosecutor sues the Trump admin over sanctions that threaten him and his work. @humanrightsfirst.org brings the suit. Doc humanrightsfirst.org/wp-content/u...

NEWS: Two of the networks whose funding is being cut by Kari Lake and the Trump administration are asking the full D.C. Circuit to review a weekend three-judge panel ruling that would prevent them from getting their money.

This is, indeed, a five-alarm security problem. Honestly, if you’re a foreign intel service and you’re NOT reading Mike Waltz’s and Pete Hegseth’s phones by now, you should turn in your resignation.

JFC we are like ten minutes away from the Justice Department announcing a civil rights investigation of any team that gets rid of a racist mascot www.nytimes.com/2025/05/02/u...

NEW at SCOTUS: yet another emergency application from the Trump administration. This 13th plea asks the Court to let DOGE access Social Security records and files, staying a lower court’s injunction against this

Trial judges continue to stand up, as Trump appointee rules that DUH we are NOT being invaded by Venezuela. (He didn't say DUH, he quoted the Founders for ORIGINALISM.) Plus @andrewtorrez.bsky.social has a deep dive into Mike Lindell's amazing ChatGPT lawyering. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

“Trumps says” is a cottage industry of reporting. It’s not very informative. How about “Despite lacking unilateral legal power to do so, Trump says Harvard….”

A federal judge has finally ruled that no, there is no "predatory incursion" into the US that entitles the Trump administration to start summarily deporting detainees. And it's from a Trump appointee. All that & Mike Lindell, too! with @lizdye.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

This clearly isn’t legal. He probably thinks this will put pressure on Congress to claw back the money already earmarked for CPB through 2027.

One funny result of this case is that you’ll very likely have a bunch of taxpayer funded Hindu schools in Oklahoma

Another conservative judge reads the Trump admin for filth and saves the VOA. First Judge Wilkinson, now Judge Lamberth??? www.lawandchaospod.com/p/conservati...

“Harvey Weinstein’s re-emergence as a hero of the far right was inevitable.” @lizdye.bsky.social

Didn't these goobers just go to court twice so they could hand Musk $56 billion for his amazing leadership skills? www.wsj.com/business/aut...

New: All five new appointees to an obscure Trump Tower-based holding company's advisory board are Trump Organization execs—including Don Jr. and Eric Trump. They’ve already been granted millions in stock. me, for @forbes.com 1/

"Since his first day in office, Trump and his minions have loudly insisted that the law means what he says it does, despite the Constitution vesting in Congress the power to enact laws and courts the duty interpret them. And yet, he persists." — @lizdye.bsky.social

BREAKING: this is the big one! We @sddaction.bsky.social are proud to be part of a coalition of labor orgs, non-profits, & cities & counties suing to challenge the Trump admin’s reorganization of the entire federal gov. It's against the law! statedemocracydefenders.org/fund/massive...

Tom Homan has great difficulty speaking English. So a career as a trucker will be out for him if he's fired from his current job threatening immigrants and ordering kids with cancer to be be deported.

“Harvey Weinstein’s re-emergence as a hero of the far right was probably inevitable.” @lizdye.bsky.social

The great @lizdye.bsky.social reveals the far-right’s embrace of Harvey Weinstein as a cynical attempt to overturn the battles won by #MeToo . airmail.news/issues/2025-...

Let's talk about Attorney General Bondi's attack on Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan and the weakness of the DOJ's criminal charges against the judge -- simply by closely examining the government's own affidavit. youtu.be/9mvdg_Ap4EU

URGENT: This is not a crime A judge has the authority in her courthouse to excuse a defendant for God's sake Trump tried this in 1st term & he was thrown out of court 👉 www.courtlistener.com/docket/14997... PS the violation here was Patel's tweet & that's why he deleted. I'll be filing complaint

There’s no Alien Enemies Act exception to the Fourth Amendment.

A court ordered the govt not to deport detainees to El Salvador. So they shipped men to Gitmo & THEN to El Salvador 2 days later instead. With @lizdye.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l...

We're like four news cycles from finding out that this guy gave his coke dealer a White House hard pass apnews.com/article/hegs...

Trump protects female athletes by stealing their lunch money www.youtube.com/watch?v=SL1Z...

Two quick thoughts on Signalgate 2, Moronic Boogaloo: 1 Colin Powell did *exactly* the same thing when he was SecDef, in terms of installing a second computer 2 DoD IG castigated him for it in a 2016 report, so everyone in the building knows it's not kosher www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/u...

I think Drew Ensign broke Judge Wilkinson

We've got a great feature for you today at @theprospect.bsky.social from Moe Tkacik. It's about how Tren de Aragua—an arcane obsession of organized crime buffs—became the latest villain that threatens our way of life. It started as an alibi for a Denver-area apartment developer with code violations.

We go now live to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy

1/ To be clear: This is Homeland Security (a named defendant) deliberately evading an injunction preventing the admin from renditioning detainees anywhere other than their country of origin/removal - i.e., El Salvador - by first sending them to Gitmo & then having Defense Dept send them to CECOT...

Just put him in Arkham Asylum already.
