Kinda hard to see a free and fair 2028 election where she doesn’t win by a lot.

A helpful guide to the current state of US trade policy:

The consistently brilliant, @joyannreid.bsky.social, y’all. “The Roberts court has in almost every way been an activist one, which has leaned heavily into the idea of repealing the 20th century…” Read. #MomSky

So all the White House political reporters are spending the weekend getting up to speed on the Abrego Garcia case and litigation related to the gulag in El Salvador so that they can prep good questions for Bukele’s visit on Monday, right? Right????????

Zero. Zero days before he exempted phones, chips, computers and other tech.

I pray you’ll read my latest. We are being challenged as a nation and this is a test we must pass. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Not surprised in the least.

JUST IN: Abrego Garcia's lawyers cite Trump comments yesterday to indicate US can bring their client back to US and should. And Trump admin appears to have missed 5PM deadline to report to judge. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Show cause! We’re on the road to contemptville.

NEW: The Trump regime continues to defy court orders, and lawyers for Abrego Garcia - the Maryland father illegally disappeared to El Salvador - have initiated contempt proceedings. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/contempt-p...

My law firm is currently litigating 49 voting and election cases in 21 states. States with the most cases: AZ, GA, NC, NV, FL, LA, PA. I expect new cases will be filed this week.

Can you believe we all debated about transitory inflation and soft landings for 3 whole years?

I could be wrong, but this sounds like an admission of a human trafficking conspiracy.

Judge Xinis said Friday “There are no business hours in this court.” I’ll be keeping an eye on her docket this evening given Trump’s late and insufficient response to her order, and Abrego Garcia’s motion to show cause. Not to mention Trump’s assertion that Bukele has sole custody.

"How MAGA Mainstreamed Fascism Through The Manosphere" MAGA radicalized and influenced an entire generation of young men by weaponizing culture to Trojan Horse their authoritarian politics. This is how we fight back. W/ @ilyseh.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

the transfer to El Salvador of US deportees is, per Pres Bukele, a straight up contract that has “nothing to do w/foreign policy.” The fees we are paying makes their entire prison system “sustainable.” Don’t see how US can make argument that bringing A-G back is some sensitive foreign policy matter

I would like to point out that the executive branch claiming the power to mete out life/death sentences seems like a separation of powers issue as well

Is there any link between the Trump admin’s “deal” with El Salvador and Bukele’s plan for a “Bitcoin City,” which was going to be scaled back in order to receive loans from the IMF — and Trump admin’s plans to use gold reserves to buy Bitcoin? Or all just coincidence theweek.com/business/eco...

A very, very good question.

Trump is also saying that the once the US has rounded up individuals, with minimal or zero due process, on whatever pretext they choose, they can send them out of the US to face torture, death, life imprisonment, slave labor or other fates that are unconstitutional or illegal in the US.

MAGA’s proposed budget swings a wrecking ball at Medicaid and millions of Americans. I’m voting ‘hell no.’

So now all the “fiscal conservatives” in Congress who complained for the last 4 years that the Biden/Pelosi budget deficits were “mortgaging our kids’ futures” are on a path to pass a budget that will explode the deficit exponentially to far more than any of the Biden years.

It's from the Yale Budget Lab. budgetlab.yale.edu/research/fis...

Due to budget cuts, the TSA is now using the honor system.

This “genius” genuinely believes that healthcare budget analysts can simply be reassigned to making toasters.

So Trump *has* conceded he has the ability to bring García back. So not doing so would be contempt of court.

SCOTUS ruled 9-0—twice—that the Trump admin can’t deport people without due process, and must facilitate the return of a person wrongfully deported. I joined @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com to explain the Administration’s lawless — and cruel — actions.

Oh my god. This is a real Tory ad. Indescribably uncomfortable.

would love to see a volume/time graph on these for the past week

@gtconway.bsky.social describes the “black hole for due process” of Trump’s immigration policies and says the notion that the Trump administration cannot bring home Kilmar Abrego Garcia is “bull”.

If you feel like being inspired by a big law firm, here's the opening to Sussman Godfrey's lawsuit against Trump and his executive order targeting the firm. It still is amazing other firms caved quickly to Trump's mob-like and unconstitutional shakedown. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

At least we can still laugh. 🤡

Literal LOL “.. 64% of US imports from Taiwan are now exempt from the 10% reciprocal tariff, 44% from Malaysia, and almost 30% from both Vietnam and Thailand. 10% to 12% of imports from India, Korea and Mexico will also now be exempt.” 🤡

Another insurrectionist statue

Greg Abbott’s stalling the TX-18 election to help Trump’s agenda—keeping a safe Dem seat empty for 7 months. @isaiahrmartin.bsky.social isn’t just another name on a ballot—he’s the next-gen fighter. He’s calling Abbott out and ready to raise hell in Congress for people the GOP tries to silence.

The boycott is working, Target’s stock has declined for 10 consecutive weeks. It’s the longest losing streak in the company’s history. I don’t know which business owner needs to hear this, but you don’t magically get conservative customers by betraying your liberal ones. Go anti-woke, go broke. 📉

Just in case those of us fighting for democracy in court didn't need another challenge, Big Law turning collaborators is here and growing. My firm and others continue to fight. We will never back down. We will never bend a knee. We will never obey.

The wellness industry is killing animals, spreading disease, and fueling the next pandemic

Donold doesn’t deserve a grand birthday parade. He deserves to be marched through King’s Landing with an stern cleric behind him chanting “shame.”

The message China is sending to the US is “we don’t need you and we don’t care, we have survived for 5,000 years (for most of which the US didn’t exist) and we’ll survive for another 5,000” It’s not looking good for the USA.

An estimated 15,000 people are at the Fighting Oligarchy rally with AOC and Bernie Sanders in Los Angeles today. Amazing!

Someone in the crowd is in medical distress while nurses are on stage at the fighting oligarchy rally. The nurses rush off stage to give medical aid

Democracy isn’t dying in darkness it’s being dismantled at the hands of the Supreme Court of North Carolina. @allisonjriggs.bsky.social won this election fair and square back in November. Her opponent is a petulant Confederate cosplayer who can’t handle losing. Concede Jefferson Griffin.

Not an easy decision. I strongly believe in supporting journalism, especially local journalism, and am a longtime subscriber; but I cannot support Gannett and their choice to throw their values under the bus to appease a wannabe dictator.
