Btw, Katie is every bit as horrible as her husband Stephen. They are made for each other.

UNDERWOOD: Do you believe that the US government has the authority to deport American citizens NOEM: No, and we are not deporting US citizens UNDERWOOD: Several American citizens have been deported

BREAKING: A federal judge in New York becomes the SECOND to find Trump's Alien Enemies Act proclamation unlawful — there's no ā€œwar,ā€ ā€œinvasionā€ or ā€œpredatory incursion." Here's how it begins. Doc storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... Background www.allrisenews.com/p/unlawful-h...

ā€œStop the Stealā€ supporter, Ed Martin, was in the mob outside of the Capitol on 1/6. If he doesn’t like your point of view, he threatens to investigate you. He praises white supremacists who support neo-Nazi ideologies. Tell your Senator to vote NO on Ed Martin’s nomination for US Attorney in DC.

HUNT: Is Rubio still working on the Abrego Garcia case? TAMMY BRUCE: I'm not going to speak to his work in detail HUNT: You're the spokesperson for the State Department!

Scanlon: The Gulf of Mexico was so named over 500 years ago. If we want to update that name to reflect our current culture, maybe we should call it the Sea of Emoluments—you know, the place where we can board the Ship of Fools and navigate from a State of Ignorance to the Confederacy of Dunces…

Here are the good guy, pass through PBMs that @costplusdrugs.com has partnered with. Talk to a couple of them before youe company makes any decisions on their pharmacy benefits.

Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States. That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.

NEW VIDEO: Earlier tonight a Federal Judge rejected the Republican effort to steal a state Supreme Court election in North Carolina. Paige and I explain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DAc...

I may be the only lawyer targeted by Trump willing to speak on camera, but for me it wasn't a choice. All of us have an obligation to speak out against what Trump is doing. All of us have an obligation to fight for democracy. I am fortunate to be a lawyer and to have a platform -- and I will use it.

Maybe DOGE should look into this www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

I think the reason I’m so pissed that Sheldon Whitehouse didn’t vote to overturn Trumpā€˜s tariffs today is because all the Democrats do is yell about Trump turning the country into an oligarchy and that we’re in the middle of a constitutional crisis. They don’t act like there is a crisis of any kind.

New in PN: @therickwilson.bsky.social on Marco Rubio's great debasement "He’s not only betrayed every value he ever claimed to have, but he’s profoundly — at a level I can barely articulate — harming the country. It’s an astounding comedown for a guy who was once thought of as someone of principle"

Senator Mark Warner, the top Democrat on Senate Intelligence, tells Fox News that Waltz confirmation hearing for UN Ambassador is going to be ā€œbrutalā€ given the Signalgate situation.

"Some see".... Are the others blind?

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 ā€˜deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation. I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

Andry JosĆ© HernĆ”ndez Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 43 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

If anyone in the legacy media wants to know why they have lost the trust of the American public, I suggest they tune into C-SPAN at 8pm tonight for a tutorial. Support pro-democracy, independent media.

Thinking about this some more, basically the only path to maintaining something like constitutional continuity is for Trump to be impeached, convicted, and removed sometime will before the end of his term, right?

It’s been 27 days since ICE sent Andry (the make-up artist with ā€œmomā€ & ā€œdadā€ tattoos that ICE claimed were TdA tattoos) to be imprisoned in El Salvador. Thank you @repyassansari.bsky.social, @maxwellfrost.bsky.social, @robertgarcia.bsky.social, and @repdexteror.bsky.social for not forgetting him.

HAPPENING NOW: At the federal courthouse in Greenbelt, Maryland, Judge Paula Xinis is set to begin a hearing on the government’s efforts – or lack thereof – to ā€œfacilitateā€ the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident who was wrongly removed to El Salvador. Follow along for updates ā¬‡ļø

We must all stand as a united front against the kidnapping and illegal detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. Senator, I am willing to join you and help Organize other members of the House to do the same. @vanhollen.senate.gov

Exactly. If the government can disappear migrants without due process, it can disappear anyone. We need leaders who act like lives depend on it—because they do. If @schumer.senate.gov won’t raise hell over this, he needs to step down.

NEWS Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard signed a sworn declaration stating that she was a resident of the State of Texas. But then she voted in Hawaii.

BREAKING: Judge James Boasberg has ordered Trump national security officials to preserve all Signal communications between March 11 and March 15. Earlier this month, Boasberg temporarily blocked Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport over 200 migrants to El Salvador…

This will be Paul Weiss' most enduring shame. Performatively denouncing an honorable man and a former partner in order to please an autocrat. "Paul Weiss has acknowledged the wrongdoing of its former partner Mark Pomerantz."
