I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination. He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech. Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin. So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

NEW: China is switching from American to Canadian oil. Chinese purchases of American oil are down 90% year on year. Purchases of oil from Canada are up +700%. That equates to a $20 BILLION annual loss for the United States, at current oil prices. Tired of winning yet? 🇨🇳🤝🇨🇦

The DHS spokesperson is now alleging that Mr. Abrego Garcia was arrested with "rolls of cash and drugs" and was "wearing what is effectively an MS-13 uniform" (Chicago Bulls gear). But: 1) He was arrested for loitering and not charged for anything 2) PGPD previously said they had no incident report

This was 100% predictable (and predicted). The big firms that capitulated will cave and do whatever Trump wants. He owns them and will humiliate them for the next 3+ years. If you are a lawyer at one of these firms, leave now with your dignity. If you are a law student -- is this what you want?

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

There will be more cases like Kilmar Abrego Garcia. More illegal deportations. More mistakes. And they’re laying the groundwork to deport American citizens - permanently - to El Salvador’s prisons. It’s not hypothetical. Republicans must join us & draw the line. Or watch our democracy disappear.

As far as I can tell, the first person to ever accuse him of human trafficking is Leavitt herself (I'd love to know if someone else made the claim first). Certainly, no official has ever made that claim to a court, nor offered any evidence of it whatsoever. It seems the White House made it up.

"It is the height of historical irony that Trump, who so skillfully availed himself of his own 'due process' to delay & stall his 94 criminal charges — 94! — long enough to return to the presidency & escape them entirely is now the one seeking to rob the rest of us of that tradition & protection."

On top of everything, we should be deeply troubled by the government’s arbitrary designation of someone as a terrorist without providing any evidence in public (and then backing it up by citing El Salvador’s president’s arbitrary designation of him as a terrorist) it’s “cause we say it it’s true”
