From @theathleticfc.bsky.social: FIFA is pursuing Las Vegas to host the draw for the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico — but also discussed holding the event in Washington, D.C., if it made it easier for President Trump to participate.

This is so heartbreaking and makes nothing better and no one safer. It is the punitive act of an administration that values fealty over human health.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Didn’t get a chance to post this earlier, but there was a huge turnout in support of Kilmar Abrego Garcia at the federal courthouse. From my seat in the jury room, I heard the supporters outside chanting throughout the hearing.

Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen is demanding a meeting with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele over the detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and says he’ll go to El Salvador himself if the Marylander isn’t returned.

Trump and Bukele claim they can't release anyone from CECOT BUT THEY ALREADY HAVE: at least 9 detainees El Salvador released back to the US in the last 3 months NINE other people freed. Why not Abrego Garcia, who's there on an "administrative error"? DEMAND HIS FREEDOM NOW

We knew exactly what this administration was going to do because it was written in Project 2025. Folks can be surprised at how quickly it has moved, but no one can act like they didn't know.

Homework assignment: read Wong Kim Ark. It's pretty clear the birthright citizenship applies despite the status of one's parents. Wong Kim Ark was a Chinese American who SCOTUS ruled was an American citizen because he was born in California. 👶🇺🇸⚖️ www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt...

Maybe the U.S. could do a hostage negotiation with El Salvador. Trump had a special envoy for hostage affairs.

Either the U.S. government is able to exert monetary and diplomatic pressure on El Salvador sufficient to produce Abrego Garcia’s release, or it isn’t. The latter would be either a bald-faced lie or a pretty stunning concession of our national impotence. The Vice President should pick one.

Which they apparently disregarded - but again - this administration’s record of respecting court orders (the law) is …. Not great.

The journalists I know at @NPR.org and @PBS.org are among the best in the business -- smart, open minded, independent and totally professional. Trump made clear in the Oval Office today that what he wants are journalists who will tell him that his policies are "wonderful," not ask tough questions.

America 2025. This week is 160 years since Lincoln’s assassination. He was shot on April 14 and died on April 15. This week - April 16 - the Trump administration is changing back the name of Fort Benning, which had become Fort Moore because Benning was a Confederate general.

Has the Trump administration adhered to any court order - major or minor? There’ve been orders to bring back Abrego Garcia, hire back staff, restore AP to the press pool … serious question.

Bone chilling. A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0. 1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.
