They will invent the pretext unless we’re so thoroughly supine they don’t need to, which leads to the same outcome.

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be the story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

We want Miller in a cage, humiliated and made an example of, in front of the entire country. Don’t care what it costs. Nothing else matters if this isn’t handled.

The LA protests will trigger a drumbeat of "law and order" messaging from the White House and their media allies as a prelude to invoking the Insurrection Act. This is entirely predictable, and any Dem or media outlet that facilitates this narrative will be aiding Trump's authoritarian project.

If you're watching the LA ABC live feed, you've just seen a CBP UH 60 Blackhawk land outside a DHS office (likely ICE or CBP) and offload what may be additional ordnance, including multiple, large cylindrical containers with fire/flame hazard labels on them. Escalation coming.

And thanks to a generation of reactionary centrists, feckless Dems, autocratic GOPers, and a TV culture of non-stop crime shows and bleeds-it-leads news, we spent TWENTY-FIVE YEARS of declining and low crime rates building out that police-state style police system at EVERY level of government.

When I’m looking around my stuff trying to find what I’m looking for in trial, everyone can just wait. We’re all adults. We can sit in silence for just a little bit, it’ll be okay.

I had to tell co-counsel, who was describing his insights into the case, that I told him all of that a long time ago and did he realize he was repeating it back to me?

Illegally deported migrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia back in US after Trump admin repeatedly claimed they could not return him. We must keep up pressure until ALL those illegally deported without due process are returned, and such things can never happen again: reason.com/volokh/2025/...

Pretty sure this should tell you all you need to know about the veracity of the DOJ's charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

I love how the prosecutor was warning the judge not to let bad evidence about the complainant come in because it would be reversible error to admit it against their case. Reverse what? An acquittal?

Yes. This is something I think any serious small r republican needs to grapple with. There needs to be, dare I say, a total usurpation of the current political dynamic in which the political elite is just insulated from virtually all legal consequences. The end-result of impunity is fascism.

@repcasar.bsky.social Why is there no focus on the people trafficked to El Salvador anymore?

Pretty wild to make your entire case about how immigrants are lawless freeloaders, but having to go to their workplaces and court hearings to arrest them.

Great job setting precedent here, Paul Weiss.

As I've said before, what we're dealing with fundamentally here, and have been dealing with for some time, is evil. Our political norms and political media prohibit talking about a mainstream political faction this way. But it is the truth. It needs to be known and it needs to be said.

In San Antonio today, plainclothes ICE officers (not masked this time) arrested, handcuffed, and zip-tied a family of five (yes, ALL of them, including the little children) coming out of their immigration court hearing — which ICE had just had dismissed. www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/a...

Yes. Immigrants grow the economy, commit crimes at a lower rate than native born Americans, create jobs, and are of better character than the people who want to keep them out.
