Judge Boasberg’s opinion in JGG v. Trump (4/16/25) is a masterpiece of judicial reasoning. He explains exactly why our legal system couldn’t survive tolerating willful defiance of clear judicial orders — even if those orders are ultimately overturned on appeal. The Supreme Court will have to agree.

Over half of these Republicans supposedly & suddenly against Medicaid cuts are in swing districts. Make no mistake — they don’t actually care about healthcare for their constituents. They’re scared of facing them now & at the midterm ballot box. Good.

Just so we’re clear, everybody calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist” or a “gang member” are lying, and they know they’re lying, and they repeat it for purposes of confusing people who don’t follow this stuff closely into accepting what was done to him.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

Thank YOU for coming out! This is exactly why we do this. One objective of these rallies has been for people in red and swing areas to start seeing and finding one another. There is power in numbers. We also bring local organizers onstage to speak and highlight local issues. It’s been great 💜

The Framers were very clear with differentiation. They said “citizen” when they meant citizen and said “person(s)” when they meant everyone. There is a reason only a citizen can be president, but all persons are protected under the 5th amendment.

He’s deporting green card holders. He’s detaining international students for disagreeing with him. He’s ignoring state judges AND the Supreme Court. He’s talking about sending American prisoners to death camps. If you think you’re safe, remember that he called us “the enemy within.”

There's always been reason to believe DOGE was hacking govt systems. Now a whistleblower has substantiated it at NLRB, precisely the kind of data compromise labor unions worried about when they sued re DOL.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

I know a few people who are a bit uncertain on the diplomatic nuances of the case of Mr. Abrego Garcia. So let me be as clear I can be here: if the administration wanted to follow the court order, they could have him eating dinner with his family at Ben’s Chili Bowl this very night.

Talk talk talk All I hear is talk. "They're breaking the law." "They're stealing." Yes, and they will continue to do all of it as fast and violent as possible until they are stopped. Pretending that the courts or elections or anything other than drastic action will stop them is a deadly gamble.
