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

Maybe apples should have ponied up for the inauguration.

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 British government moved swiftly on Saturday to take control of operations at the country’s last large crude steel producing facility, in what appeared to be a major step toward nationalizing the plant.

I was shocked to hear that 90% of the immigrants deported to the El Salvador prison had no criminal record www.latimes.com/world-nation...

🔥 FARMER: “This I-told-you-so, it’s I-wish-you-would’ve-listened… China is more prepared this time… they just canceled the 3 largest soybean contracts… Trump isn’t playing chess or checkers with China - they’re sitting in a corner playing with themselves.” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DIW56aF...

every one of these deregulated markets guys is a regulated market guy who hasn’t been punched in the face yet

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

If any of my SSA sources have additional info on the “death master file” anti-immigrant efforts, please do reach out via Signal.

Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. *Populations* get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner. nymag.com/intelligence...

Frost: They're the ones hoarding wealth beyond imagination. We have to tell people the reason you can't pay your rent has nothing to do with trans people. The reason you don't have healthcare has nothing to do with immigrants. It has to do with billionaires like Elon Musk.

A very, very good question.

If El Salvador is claiming they are keeping innocent Americans in a gulag on their own authority, we need to launch total boycotts of US companies collaborating with El Salvador. Which can start with the companies using call centers in the country www.tdsgs.com/call-center-...

One President wildly exceeded his authority by forgiving some student loans; a different President barely scratched the surface of his authority by disappearing anyone he pleases without trial to a foreign gulag. Constitutional law is a serious intellectual enterprise.

CDC denies help for lead poisoning in Milwaukee schools due to layoffs www.cbsnews.com/news/milwauk...

A federal judge has ordered the Trump admin to unfreeze federal funding allocated to Maine from the Department of Agriculture — funds that had been withheld following Trump's clash with Gov. Janet Mills over transgender athletes.

This is basically conceding that the executive branch is sentencing random people to death with no due process or ability to reverse an error

“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

Previously, the arrests of pro-Palestinian voices on university campuses would’ve drawn instant attention from the DHS civil rights office’s First Amendment watchdogs, attorneys in the compliance branch said. That guardrail is gone. By @davidmcswane.bsky.social & @hannahallam.bsky.social

I agree that this is the logical endpoint, but it is also likely its Kryptonite because then it makes our courts impotent. Courts don’t like giving up their power (see post 9/11). So the endgame, if the courts want to stay relevant, is to say the whole thing is unconstitutional from the jump

Oh, I just realized that I should have used the baby-having conversation to plug my look at how immigration has backstopped the economy as America skews increasingly older. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Heparin is cheap and essential to millions of hospitalized people. Tariffs could disrupt the supply chain that gets ingredients from China to their beds.

Oh. We’re so, so fucked. Beyond fucked. Incredibly fucked.

Aspiring Nazi who wanted to overthrow the government. You'll rarely hear MAGA and Republicans talk about white supremacist terrorists. abcnews.go.com/US/wisconsin...

Reminder: Trump’s crypto coin is an obvious avenue for bribery, and everyone should be horrified — Good explanation 👇🏽 (And everyone who wanted Biden charged for bribery is silent 🤐 as Trump moves to free the informant who lied to the FBI about it)

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

@warren.senate.gov: "This is the Trump administration. Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous for the billionaires. Billionaires win and everybody else loses. And they laugh about it."

Good way to see the current tariffs, as of literally today, is no tariffs on high value add manufactured goods marketed to middle and upper middle classes. Massive tariffs for cheap consumer items which amount to the biggest economic privilege of working class/middle class life in US.

The United States Supreme Court, as packed by the Federalist Society, as supported by the Randy Barretts and Ilya Shapiros and Jonathan Turleys of America, is suited to squabble over what “facilitate” means but not to achieve justice or protect or defend the United States Constitution.

This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

100%. It really is time to go there. Again.

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????????

When you’ve lost the DAILY MAIL

The oligarch playbook

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.

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

How it started // How it’s going

AOC: And his whole presidency began with launching tools for bribery, meme coins to fleece working people and move around money in the dark, extortion settlements from media companies and law firms who gladly pay them

Even doge admits Elon musk is cutting cancer research

INBOX: Yikes — Senator @PaulBaileyforTN (R) called out for ducking pastors before voting to block undocumented kids from schools, and Senator Tom Hatcher (R) allegedly lied to pastors and said he’d oppose it, then voted for it. 😕 🤥

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

There is not a soul on earth who believes that President Bukele wouldn’t immediately release Abrego-Garcia if asked by the United States. President Bukele is coming to the United States this week; he can give Abrego-Garcia a ride on his plane!

You can’t do “mass” deportation and give due process, and what conclusion you draw from that says important stuff about your commitment to law.

JUST IN: President Trump is authorizing the military to occupy and take jurisdiction over public land along the southern border.
