When I was a kid, wrestling matches would start with the phrase "Seconds away, round one". I used to think the "seconds" were a unit of time. I never thought about it until I heard it again in A Thousand Blows. The seconds referred to the cornermen, throwback from duelling traditions.

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

I don't agree with Mahmoud Khalil's opinions, but that doesn't matter. It is important that we all be factually correct about what is happening. He is NOT being deported for evidence of ties to a terrorist organization (Hamas) as originally alleged. 1/3

The Trump administration pays El Salvador President Nayib Bukele's government $6 million to house prisoners it sends to CECOT. That’s the prison where Kilmar Abrego Garcia is currently being held. If the US controls the purse strings, then don’t pay El Salvador until Abrego Garcia comes home.

AOC: Donald Trump is a criminal—convicted on 34 felony counts of fraud. He is lying, and he is manipulating the stock market too. At his best, he enriches himself, the billionaires who back him, and the members of Congress who trade with him. Not you. Not me. Not the people.

Judge Xinis said Friday “There are no business hours in this court.” I’ll be keeping an eye on her docket this evening given Trump’s late and insufficient response to her order, and Abrego Garcia’s motion to show cause. Not to mention Trump’s assertion that Bukele has sole custody.

Frost: I come from Florida. See, Project 2025 is Florida 2024. We’ve seen this, but we also know how to deal with it. When they disappear, a college student, you take to the streets. When they steal your Medicare, Social Security, and Medicaid, you take to the streets.

Trump's EPA just moved to reverse state and local bans on toxic "forever chemicals" that can lead to birth defects and cancer. So much for "Make America Healthy Again." https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/apr/05/trump-pfas-toxic-forever-chemicals

I spent the morning with a group of community leaders from across northern Michigan hearing about the impacts of the devastating ice storm. Alongside my colleague Sen. John Damoose, who organized the meeting, we heard about Maple Moon Sugarbush & Winery, who lost nearly all of their maple trees.

As with the EOs concerning elections, immigration and naturalization is categorically NOT an Article II power. To do this, the executive branch will undoubtedly try to hang its hat on some delegated authority by Congress. The focus now should be on clawing those delegated authorities back

They’ll do it in a few high profile cases to set examples. People will say, “No way this holds up in court.” Maybe. But we now know the plan: they’ll do it first, then dare the courts to stop them. And this too will be very difficult for courts to undo. This is end of democracy stuff.

The Fluoride-in-water “bans” motif is the latest attempted assault on our intelligence. The height of inventing a solution to a supposed problem, there is actually no issue here. We did a calm, fact-filled fact check (again!) this week and we will keep doing it. youtube.com/watch?v=ssv-...

Hernandez: This administration wants you to believe that the reason you can't buy eggs is because of your immigrant neighbor, they want you to blame trans folks for your troubles, blame unhoused people for the housing crisis. You know what I say to that? Bullshit.

This era of mass grift—driven by one of the most corrupt administrations in American history—isn’t just a crisis. It’s a massive opportunity for the Democratic Party to lead an unapologetic, system-wide anti-corruption campaign.

When DOJ filed its response to Judge Xinis around 12:15 pm today, it said: “Plaintiff is in the custody of a foreign sovereign.” Drew Ensign’s name was on the brief. An hour later, at the hearing, Ensign told the judge that he didn’t have info on Garcia’s whereabouts and custodial status. ???
