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...

UPDATE: The government has not, as of 5:03 pm, filed the required daily status report. It missed the deadline. But Garcia’s counsel has filed a motion for the government to show cause as to why it should not be held in contempt: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I saw someone post, "It's too late to save America." No it's not. Not even close. We will NEVER stop fighting the lawlessness, the unconstitutionally, the tyranny. The time is NOW! In fact, "THE TIME IS ALWAYS NOW." (Artist: Peter Tunney)

To Karen Berrios, her mother is a hard-working, devoted single parent. To DHS, she’s “an associate of the vicious MS-13 gang.” However, nearly two weeks after Elsy Berrios was taken into ICE custody, DHS has yet to disclose any evidence to substantiate its claim against the Salvadoran woman.

tRump announced a plan on Friday to turn a narrow strip along the Mexican border in California, Arizona and New Mexico into a military installation as part of his effort to curtail illegal crossings. What about THE WALL? If this doesn't give him his desire results, THEN WHAT?

Alina Habba has launched a criminal probe into New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy over "ICE obstruction." Immigration control is the responsibility of the federal government. States can’t be compelled to assist ICE under the 10th Amendment. It's amazing this failed lawyer passed the bar exam.

This breaks me — because I can see my wife and daughter living through this. I don’t trust DHS, and you shouldn’t either because it could happen to anyone. They’re on a mission, and it feels lawless as hell.

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

The Fluoride-in-water “bans” motif is the latest attempted assault on our intelligence. The height of inventing a solution to a supposed problem, there is actually no issue here. We did a calm, fact-filled fact check (again!) this week and we will keep doing it. youtube.com/watch?v=ssv-...

I spent the morning with a group of community leaders from across northern Michigan hearing about the impacts of the devastating ice storm. Alongside my colleague Sen. John Damoose, who organized the meeting, we heard about Maple Moon Sugarbush & Winery, who lost nearly all of their maple trees.

As with the EOs concerning elections, immigration and naturalization is categorically NOT an Article II power. To do this, the executive branch will undoubtedly try to hang its hat on some delegated authority by Congress. The focus now should be on clawing those delegated authorities back

THREAD: Some folks have asked why Donald doesn’t just pick up the phone and bring Abrego Garcia back. Besides the cruelty, what’s the point of defying the lower court’s order? Basically, he wants to see if he can get away with it. 1/

Dem Senators are pushing the SEC to investigate whether Trump and his allies “engaged in insider trading.” In addition, Dem Sens. Schiff, Schumer, Warren, and Wyden asked state attorneys general to investigate any state crimes, like fraud or tax evasion. Trump can’t pardon state crimes. More here:

The Trump people claim to be fighting antisemitism, and the media often accept that framing. I believe, on the contrary, that these actions are antisemitic in intention and in execution. I explain in a short video: snyder.substack.com/p/fomenting-...

The VA is having mental health clinicians work in cubicle farms and tell veterans they can’t guarantee their privacy because of SecVA’s asinine return to work order. There isn’t room! Veterans will suffer. That’s the real goal. Force VA to fail. The price? Veterans. Enough is enough.

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

Eighteen months before the midterms, the Republican National Committee is litigating more than 40 cases aimed at making voting more difficult. In North Carolina, the GOP is literally trying to steal a state Supreme Court seat won by a Democrat last November.

If you were to extort someone, you could get 20 years in prison. When Donald Trump extorts multiple law firms for $600 million, he gets a headline that manufactures consent by calling them “deals.”
