A Reagan-appointed judge just issued a scathing rebuke of the government’s actions in the Abrego Garcia case, warning of a constitutional crisis and executive overreach. This ruling is stunning—because it had to be. #WilkinsonDecision #RuleOfLaw #AbregoGarcia #FourthCircuit #LegalNews

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Jerome Powell to Donald Trump: Fuck off you can’t fire me, it’s illegal. That won’t matter to Trump but if he takes out Powell, the economy will literally explode and he’ll end to dragged out of the WH like Mussolini. Finally someone with both balls and leverage.

Chief Judge Boasberg's probable cause ruling is not an appealable order. DOJ can ask the D.C. Circuit for an extraordinary writ of mandamus, but that requires showing that the district court ruling both (1) was clearly wrong; and (2) is not otherwise capable of being remedied on a future appeal.

This is everything you need to know right here… Not only is the Trump administration not asking for Kilmar Abrego García’s return—they’re paying El Salvador to keep him locked up at CECOT, one of the most notorious in the country. Bottom line: Trump WANTS to keep him there. CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS‼️
