Reminded, again, of this speech from Dec. '20 www.youtube.com/watch?v=nH9F...

This is Trump’s America and it is horrifying. My best wishes go out to the Shapiro family. Shapiro is a Democrat and Jewish.

„Ein Mann ist in die Residenz des demokratischen Gouverneurs Josh Shapiro eingedrungen und hat mehrere Brände gelegt. Der Verdächtige gab nun an, »Hass auf Shapiro zu hegen«. (…) Zuvor hatte Trump gegen Shapiro gehetzt…“

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro said his official residence in the state capital was targeted in an arson attack while he and his family were asleep early Sunday morning

The government is ignoring a Supreme Court order to facilitate the return of a man it unlawfully abducted and imprisoned in El Salvador. In the Abrego Garcia case, we’re watching a constitutional crisis unfold in real time. #SCOTUS #AbregoGarcia #LegalCrisis #CourtOrders #ImmigrationLaw

The administration isn't answering the court's questions about Abrego Garcia. ICAP's Mary McCord argues it's time for officials to testify under oath: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

@weissmann11.bsky.social: Supreme Court rules against Trump’s ‘panoply of lawlessness’ youtu.be/B0rqfiEiVxA?...

With new Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs (senior official who helped keep 2020 election secure) and law firm that won $788m settlement against Fox News. A must read from Weds, by Harold Koh. Discussing amicus brief signed by esteemed bipartisan former officials. Also a great history lesson

Trump says he will put the capitulating law firms to work representing coal interests — which means these firms will be performing “coal bono” work after being shaken down by the White House

"We are talking about a fundamental right to due process that was simply ignored." On Monday, the Roberts Court delivered a 5-4 ruling allowing the Trump regime to continue its horrendous deportations. @weissmann11.bsky.social breaks down the court's decision.

ICYMI: Man deported after visiting family grave in Mexico is has returned to Kansas City Cortez Martinez will now have an opportunity to resolve the re-calendaring of removal proceedings in Kansas City’s immigration court, said Sharma-Crawford.

As Mary McCord writes, law firms suing Trump over his blackmail executive orders “are winning not just for themselves and their clients, but for the adversarial system that undergirds the rule of law.” Bravo to the firms standing up for the values of our profession.
