What we saw today was two jumped up thugs and their bootlicking sychophants laughing at the US Constitution, the supreme court, and the idea that anyone can stop them from doing anything they want www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

By adopting the Right’s framing and problem diagnosis on immigration, Democratic leaders have not merely been compromising on a policy issue, they have been lending legitimacy to the very core of the ethno-nationalist project - basically telling voters the Trumpists are kinda right, actually.

Law enforcement wearing masks, again, even as one of the Trump administration conditions for universities is that no-one can wear a mask that disrupts their surveillance.

El Salvador is a contractor providing the United States with a paid service. The idea that we couldn’t get anyone they’re holding back with the snap of a finger just by asking is so ludicrous on its face, it seems less like a real excuse and more like a test of how much shit the courts will eat.

Trump to Bukele on Salvadoran concentration camps: “Home-growns are next. You’re going to have to build about five more places.”

No one should be above the law, most especially the President. Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return isn't just cruel; it's unconstitutional. They're saying the quiet part aloud — if they get away with it now, they'll do it to anyone.

Trump made a bunch of terror in today's Bukele event, which distracted from much else. He also tried to reset legal case w/Abrego Garcia. Here's what I think he tried to do. Why does that matter? Bc there's still a legal & political fight to fight RIGHT NOW. www.emptywheel.net/2025/04/14/w...

Once again, the entire reason we’re here now, in 2025, is because we totally failed as a nation to send a lot of very senior Republican officials to jail for a very long time for the massive constitutional crimes committed during Iran-Contra, the entire GWB administration, & Trump I.

I'm a lawyer and this is correct. Straight line of "blatantly illegal constitutional end-runs to violate human rights" from Iran–Contra to Gitmo to CECOT paved by the only consequences the perpetrators suffering being more money, more power, and more prestige.

I've got a piece up at @liberalcurrents.com clarifying whether Trump is trying to install merely an authoritarian regime or a properly fascist one in the federal government. My conclusion: we're facing Actual Fascism. www.liberalcurrents.com/yes-its-fasc...

Raskin: If they can just sweep someone off the street, put them on an airplane, and send them to a torturer’s prison in an authoritarian state like El Salvador without due process… then they could do it to anybody.

No, Trump isn't cratering our economy. The entire Republican Party is cratering our economy. The enablers deserve just as much blame as Trump.

Trump will not try to stave off collapse bc collapse serves the interests of those who put him in the WH (Putin & the broligarchs). What's coming isn't recession but the end of US economic power globally. We expect empires to die via revolt of the colonized, but the US empire is dying by suicide.

GOP court decision overturning Democratic victory in North Carolina Supreme Court race is 5 alarm fire for democracy. It’s January 6 without the insurrection. Make no mistake, if GOP succeeds in stealing election in NC, they’ll use that playbook everywhere www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
