Probably won't post anything. Just use to follow current events--especially politics--and to repost political things so I have a means of going back and finding stuff in the future.

Goodbye to a cover story. And the spurious "invasion" claim wasn't just intended to manipulate public opinion; it unlocks presidential powers under the Alien Enemies Act, and has thus been the subject of representations before judges.

Abrego Garcia & MS-13. What do we know? The allegation seems to stem from double hearsay in a document authored by a later suspended detective. By me, in @lawfare . www.lawfaremedia.org/article/abre...

Wouldn't it be nice if every news outlet that covered the Bukele Oval Office meeting noted: District court wrote: Abrego Garcia "has never been charged with or convicted of any crime."⤵️ Fourth Circuit: The government presented "NO EVIDENCE" of MS-13 affiliation. Abandoned argument before court. ⤵️

The MAGA leaders who claim to love America do not understand or believe in anything that makes this country great. They are opposed to freedom of speech and competitive elections. They don’t love Americans or our ideals. They want to be kings in a country founded on revolution.

MAGA finally got their red wave

Trump says he can invoke the wartime Alien Enemies Act of 1798 because the nation is at “war” w/Venezuelan gangs. At yesterday’s House hearing on the newly published Annual Worldwide Threats Assessment, Rep. Castro asked a blunt question: Why is there no mention of it the official threat assessment?

So that $10B bailout for farmers. Is it a payout for political support? Yeah. Bold move for an industry that talks so much about hard work & independence! But it's also worse than that. This is a US food crisis in the making. www.usda.gov/about-usda/n... Let's talk about the payoff part first?

This is art. 🤗

WOW. Watch a constitutional law expert completely DEBUNK Republicans’ censorship crusade, while articulating exactly how Donald Trump is threatening freedom of speech. 🔥

guys they're going to stop feeding TSA's bomb-sniffing dogs, per Fox News nat security correspondent:

Not sure I've ever seen a more obvious picture to remind us that police exist to protect the property of the ruling class, not the rights of the people.
