Lisa Murkowski once again shows courage and this time by telling the truth. This president is focused on revenge and retribution, and if enough people stand up in the face of this intimidation, democracy survives.

“The government is not a car company.”

Goldman on Abrego Garcia: "If he had due process he would not have been removed. Then they would've had to go through the process of proving it. This is why due process matters- so you don't make mistakes like this. That you do have a neutral arbiter that decides the law. Not the executive branch."

Elon Musk offered $15 million to a woman to have his babies, she turned him down and he retaliated. Who’s surprised the clown thinks women are baby making machines? socialitelife.com/elon-musk-of...

The administration’s lies about this case are insane.

I am advocating for due process for Abrego Garcia.

JUST IN: Deputy Assistant to the President and "Counterterrorism Czar" Sebastian Gorka says anyone advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be viewed as "aiding and abetting a terrorist" and be federally charged. (h/t Philip Germain)

A coalition of Jewish groups warns that the Trump administration stripping international students of visas under the guise of fighting antisemitism actually makes Jews less safe and undermines the rule of law.

Quick point. Congress can use the spending fight in September (remember Chuck Schumer surrendered till then) to prevent a single dollar from being used to house prisoners in El Salvador.

Rep. Dan Meuser on Abrego Garcia: "Maybe he's not a terrorist. But he's a potential terrorist. He's a terrorist watchlist person."

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R): "We are all afraid…I am oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice because retaliation is real."

The projection is off the charts here

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

JUST IN: Mortgage rates see largest one-week hike in nearly a year, reaching their highest level in two months as Trump tariffs rock markets — CNN

The possibility of abduction by a sovereign and imprisonment abroad is one criterion that separates democracies from dictatorships. The Declaration of Independence called the British king tyrannical for transporting Americans, “beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offenses.”

Judge Xinis in Tuesday eve order homes in on key issue: "Abrego Garcia appears to remain inexplicably detained in CECOT." She cites text in written agreement with El Salvador showing US control: That detainees are kept in CECOT “pending the United States’ decision on their long-term disposition.”

The White House cites an NPR feature that states "banana slugs are hermaphrodites" as a reason to cease public funding of the network. But banana slugs literally are hermaphrodites! Like that is just a scientific fact! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_...

Trump could make one call and Garcia would be on his way back to America, where he belongs. Trump's refusal to bring Garcia back as the courts ordered, warrants his immediate removal from office.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

🚨Attention Members of the DC Bar🚨 Ballots went out today for key positions in the DC bar. Please vote for: Diane Seltzer for President Amanda Molina for Treasurer Note: Seltzer is running against Pam Bondi's brother. Get your ballot and vote ASAP.

If Karoline Leavitt or anyone in this administration has receipts showing that Mr. Garcia is a member of MS-13, or engaged in human trafficking, they’d be presenting them in a power point presentation every single day.

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Trump defying a 9-0 Supreme Court decision is the reason I say "if we still have free and fair elections in the United States" when I talk about 2026 midterms.

On this day, April 14, 2025, the President of the United States openly defied the Supreme Court’s unanimous opinion of April 10, 2025, ordering him to “facilitate Abrego Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador

Grocery prices are still too high. Big Tech still has too much control over our lives. Closing antitrust field offices would only make it worse.

This is in fact what we have done. Foolish, shortsighted, appalling.

I would not have predicted that large universities would show more courage than either Big Law or corporate media. Good for them.

Paying taxes with tears in my eyes knowing what they're paying for - disappearing innocent people to a concentration camp in El Salvador. What have we become?
