Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important: He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.

I think that if someone says "birthrate" to you, you should get to slap them across the mouth once for every thing on this list that they don't believe in * vaccines * free pre-natal care * free healthcare for children * universal pre-k * free childcare * free school lunches * vaccines again

Here's the CMS letter being sent to state Medicaid directors that precipitated the Planned Parenthood AZ pause on trans care. Notably, this is literally just a letter and does not change any federal laws or regulations. There's no reason to obey to this ridiculous request. bsky.app/profile/mady...

Maybe I'm just cynical, but I don't believe we'll get these people back. No one is ever allowed to leave that place or tell of what happens there. They won't want anyone to start talking now, with the world's attention on them, & the Hague listening. I fear for these people's lives.

As I’ve said, yes, this was their aim all along. That’s why they didn’t just send these people to Gitmo. This is an attempt to find a step beyond Gitmo where the court says, “Well, our hands are tied.” It’s an awful, lawless gambit that must fail, but that is what they want it to be.

The principle at stake here is so fundamental it predates even Magna Carta in English law, and before that stretching all the way back to Rome, and has its similarly ancient equivalents in every legal system in the world, because it's the inherent bedrock foundation of what courts and laws are for.

It is very good question and one I’ve been asking for months. If there is an international agreement with El Salvador for these renditions, the Trump administration is legally required under the Case-Zablocki Act to share it with Congress. To my knowledge, they have not done so.

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.

It's weird to see Republicans not get what Trump loves about trade wars. They give him his favorite things: bullying people using someone else's leverage, demanding loyalty, & announcing deals that make him feel big. Foremost, another tool to wage war on the Constitution. archive.ph/9Wycc#select...

Witkoff touching his heart the moment he sees Putin to show admiration and respect is also nauseating. The representative of the most powerful country in the world fawning over a tyrant of an almost broken imperialist nation. That would have tipped the balance of power towards Putin in that meeting.
