Someone, for the love of modern medical science, please take RFK Jr. spelunking in Kitum Cave. He'll love the adventure, and you'd be doing all of us a favor.

Two weeks ago I did a thread on how the Founding Fathers declared independence from the crown for behaving literally the same way as the Trump administration. It's getting worse and Americans need to connect today's events to this founding document.

". . . yes death squads, but also Bitcoin." Needs to be immortalized on a bronze plaque. Recommended @capitolhunters thread. They, like relatively few others, dig deeper, thus making this frightening-but-informed speculation worthwhile by way of Sun Tzu: "... know the enemy ..."

This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

Nice call back to the criminally overlooked SSCI report (Volume 5). They (Putin, in particular) are nothing if not consistent . . . and persistent.

If I were Judge Xinis, I would order the government to produce, in her courtroom, officials who were in a position to answer her questions and to do so under oath. Letting DOJ continue to prevaricate and deflect responsibility in written submissions seems ... insufficient at this point.

So all the White House political reporters are spending the weekend getting up to speed on the Abrego Garcia case and litigation related to the gulag in El Salvador so that they can prep good questions for Bukele’s visit on Monday, right? Right????????

Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came. Why? Has the fear already taken hold?

Interesting insight into potential negative consequences of the SAVE Act that I've not seen discussed elsewhere. I'm no expert, but my gut tells me this: If the GOP is for something voting related, it's probably not on the up-&-up. Their long-term viability as a party depends upon vote suppression.

Absolutely this. Trump's DOJ will not act in good faith or with any sense of alacrity, or anything else approaching an effort to bring Abrego Garcia back for due process in a timely fashion. The longer he's in CECOT, the greater the chances are he becomes a "non-problem" for the Trump.
