Pam Bondi: “This is a criminal judge sitting on a criminal bench. Anyone who is going to let anyone—any criminal defendant—out a back door is absurd.” When Trump was a criminal defendant, judges often allowed him to enter and exit court out a back door.

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation. I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

This is a really important response to the arrest of Judge Hannah Dugan by Kash Patel's lawless FBI. Good on Representative Clancy.

Ever wonder what an “emergency application” is or how #SCOTUS handles one internally?

Today’s “One First” takes a (very) deep dive into Justice Alito’s Saturday night dissent in the A.A.R.P. Alien Enemy Act case—and how it attempts to invent a series of procedural objections to the majority’s intervention that … simply don’t exist: www.stevevladeck.com/p/145-justic...

Highly recommend reading @stevevladeck.bsky.social on everything Alito got wrong in his delayed dissent from Saturday night. (There was a lot.) I'll just add that I think the Alito of 15 years ago wouldn't have made some of these sloppy errors. He's slipping! www.stevevladeck.com/p/145-justic...

This Hegseth thing is funny and all — but the unprecedented incompetence, frivolity, and treachery of the entire cabinet puts us all at very real risk.

How many times does Pete Hegseth need to leak classified intelligence before Donald Trump and Republicans understand that he isn’t only a f*cking liar, he is a threat to our national security?

Happy to amplify. We're all in this together, and it's outrageous what's happening to #LambertvilleNJ and #NewHopePA. I used to call it "Brigadoon" country, but toxicity distorts that to "Being-à-doom". May it be cleaned up + resurrected, in keeping with all that's just and good. 🙏🏽🌱💜

I see a lot of people falling into the "this is pointless" trap, and I can only say it so many ways — though I suspect I will have to write something specifically about it on this front — but the bottom line is that we must expect compliance. Anything less is just making noncompliance easier.

it is one of the most common tools of contemporary authoritarian regimes: weaponize tax authorities against those in dissent, or journalists, or institutions, like harvard here, that refuse to capitulate to unlawful demands.

A couple thoughts on this: 1. It violates the law. In 1998, Congress explicitly provided that the President could not, directly or indirectly, request that the IRS start or end an audit or other investigation of a taxpayer. www.taxnotes.com/research/fed... 1/

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.
