I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

I mean to be fair it really is best practices not to answer reporters’ questions about the criminal shit you’ve been doing EVEN IF the Federalist Society has succeeded in giving you complete impunity for doing criminal shit.

Merely mentioning this is an outrageous abuse of power. Our president is a convicted criminal and a mob boss wannabe. He holds the office unconstitutionally and must be removed.

As JD Vance well knows, the issue is not whether we should deport undocumented immigrants. The issue is how. If we ignore the law for one, it’s over for all of us.

"One by one, many of her oldest and closest friends have stopped speaking to Ms. Stefanik, leaving a trail of embittered final texts and emails. Over dinners and group chats, they sometimes talk about what happened to the talented woman they once loved and respected."

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

Also, if you’re a member of the DC Bar VOTE NOW for Diane Seltzer as the next DC Bar’s President against Pam Bondi’s brother, Brad Bondi. We don’t need a DC Bar President who supports trump.

I think we could just skip the two weeks of depositions since the SCOTUS already made a decision. Trump and Bondi lost. Bondi says Garcia isn’t coming back to the USA. Now the court decides the penalty?

There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:
