JUST IN: @aclu and @democracyfwd ask Boasberg to reimpose nationwide TRO on Alien Enemjes Act deportations. They also want to refile habeas corpus claims in DC for the roughly 130 men deported March 15 despite Boasberg's order to turn planes around. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Chief Judge Boasberg's probable cause ruling is *not* an appealable order. DOJ can ask the D.C. Circuit for an extraordinary writ of mandamus, but that requires showing that the district court ruling both (1) was clearly wrong; and (2) is not otherwise capable of being remedied on a future appeal.

NBC News reviewed over 100 pages of documents submitted by the federal government in its effort to deport Mahmoud Khalil. In some instances, the government appears to be relying on unverified tabloid articles. In others, the government claims are clearly erroneous. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Of course they’re not going to make it easier for student loan borrowers to pay back their loans but they really don’t need to make it any more difficult, especially for those who have to use income based repayment plans because they would not be able to afford their monthly payments otherwise.

Trump is requiring the United Kingdom to get rid of laws protecting LGBTQ people before he will agree to a trade deal with them.

They should be more concerned

“Being an American Jew is a mindfuck. And now we’re in more peril than ever because the destruction of this country’s university life and the lives of university students is being done in our name.”

Breaking: Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen just announced he'll depart tomorrow (Wednesday) for El Salvador to attempt to secure the release of Maryland man Kilmar Abrego Garcia. "We must urgently continue working to return Kilmar safely home to Maryland."

This is a person who the Trump administration wants you to believe is dangerously antisemitic and a threat to Jews on campus.

What will happen first? George R. R. Martin finishes the Game of Thrones books Rockstar releases GTA 6

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Happy Passover to all of my Hebrews, Shebrews, and Theybrews!

🧵There’s a lot of people out there saying that measles is being brought to the US by immigrants, specifically undocumented immigrants crossing the southern border. Let’s talk about measles and migration. ✈️ TL:DR: Measles in the US comes from outbreaks started by unvaccinated traveling Americans.

A lot of conservative men would burn the entire world down if it meant getting women out of the workforce because their entire sense of self is based on the idea that they were born superior to women

Spirit Airlines You Joke, But We’ve Never Had a Passenger Death Due To Flight Accident

It feels like a significant amount of quality news outlets are behind paywalls while absolutely none of the inflammatory right-wing ones are and in an age of overwhelming misinformation combined with increasingly poor media literacy I just have… no idea what we’re supposed to do about that.

When the Nazis came to power in 1933, one of the first things they did was require Jews to register with the government. But 1938, they were required to list all property they owned. Seems like history is rhyming. apnews.com/article/ille...

It’s giving Jack Sparrow riding his little boat as it sinks.

Chuck, no. That’s not what’s going on here. He hasn’t backed down from anything. There were no 75 countries. The only tariffs he paused were the big ones. The rest are still in place, even for the 75 countries that definitely didn’t reach out to the WH. If they did, he’d be bragging about it.

One of the early outrages in the Red Scare was Truman’s EO asserting that “sympathetic association” with communist groups was grounds for being fired from a federal job. That was bad enough, but now they’re saying alien residents can be deported for what they claim are their “expected beliefs”

This is why people hate Washington. The President is bragging about his buddies' investments while people see their retirements go down the drain.

In case you find yourself met with the Call to Adventure (tm), this tome provides important recommendations.

AUTISM IS NOT AN EPIDEMIC, PEOPLE WITH AUTISM ARE NOT BROKEN

I promise this is posted on the official ICE Twitter handle.

Who could’ve ever foresaw except all the people who did and got arrested for doing so

He literally tweeted: This is a great time to BUY! Just hours ago. And then he paused tariffs. He’s literally committing crimes in front of the entire world. 😳

Don’t overthink this. He’s asking for bribes.

markets soar as investors realize that mommy didn't actually disappear, she was just hiding behind her hands

If this were a Democratic president, Republicans in Congress would be screaming—market manipulation!

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

How many cycles of implementing tariffs and then pausing them will we have to go through before it becomes stock market manipulation? Serious question, not being snarky this time.
