Why would a corrupt president advocate for a corrupt baseball player to be publicly redeemed? Oh, right, never mind.

These are the people that Puppy Killer Noem & Trump have decided do not deserve to live. This is a family. A Family. And they’ve been sentenced to death. Oh America, what have you become? #ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue #OneV1

Bongino has demanded a 20-man security detail to guard him 24 hours per day, including when he’s inside the FBI building. I can think of lots of explanations for that. None are flattering, and none suggest a hypermasculine lead-by-example guy beloved by the rank and file.

This sleeper case deserves your attention. @rgoodlaw.bsky.social and I walk through what looks like a clear violation of a federal court order in an immigration case involving Venezuelan nationals sent to El Salvador—despite a TRO. #DVDCase #DueProcess #ImmigrationLaw #FederalCourt #MainJustice

This is a huge important story that has flown under the radar. More contempt, more lawlessness. More outrageousness.

Welcome to the abyss

But her emails…

Donald Trump ordered the Department of Justice to investigate the leading platform through which Democrats raise money for their campaigns. Less that 100 days in, Trump is weaponizing DOJ to prevent his political opponents from funding opposition campaigns. Where is the outrage?

Article 1: "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives." These people are morons.

NEW: FBI Director Kash Patel said bureau agents arrested a county judge in Wisconsin Friday, alleging she obstructed an April 18 immigration enforcement operation. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Given their indifferent coverage of Trump’s despotic efforts to throttle ActBlue It feels like we’re getting to the point where he could order the DOJ to have someone arrested, stripped and horse whipped on the South Lawn And the @nytimes.com headline might be “Trump Tests Boundaries of Power”

Trump signs order targeting Democrats’ fundraising platform, sparking authoritarian fears Sometimes, the president’s authoritarian tactics are subtle. His new offensive against the ActBlue donation platform is far more overt. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

🚨NEW: Trump is taking executive action against ActBlue, a major grassroots fundraising platform. He's targeting ActBlue because it empowers millions of us — not billionaires — to fund democracy. This is about silencing grassroots power.

My latest discusses Donald Trump's latest strategy to dismantle the Democratic Party's ability to fundraise through ActBlue, which would allow him to amass permanent political power. shero.substack.com/p/trump-sets...

"Today’s escalation by the White House is blatantly unlawful and needs to be seen for what it is: Donald Trump’s latest front in his campaign to stamp out all political, electoral and ideological opposition. <> an unprecedented assault on our democracy" - ActBlue statement reads. More attacks!!

The Trump Administration is openly taking pages directly from the dictator playbook. Disappearing people for political speech. Attacking universities and law firms. Defying the courts. And now, arresting judges. The Constitutional Crisis is here. Judge Dugan's arrest must be expunged.

Judge Hannah Dugan, the Wisconsin judge who was arrested on Friday morning on charges of obstructing immigration enforcement, spent most of her legal career working on behalf of low-income people and marginalized groups. Here's what to know.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Catch 22 redux: The Oval office meeting with El Salvador president. US position: the decision to return Garcia is out of our hands. El Salvador position: the decision to return Garcia is out of our hands.

The Trump DOJ continues to stonewall and last night offered a laughably minimalist view of its obligation to "facilitate" the return to the US of a mistakenly deported El Salvadoran man. Yet so far SCOTUS has treated the Trump regime as though it is a normal presidential administration. Details👇

The Trump admin has just detained Mohsen Mahdawi, who: –has green card –was Columbia Buddhist club president –saw his best friend shot & killed by Israeli soldier –said "we are against antisemitism because antisemitism is a form of injustice, and injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"

BREAKING: U.S. businesses sue to block Trump tariffs, say trade deficits are not an emergency. 🔥🔥🔥

So, if I understand correctly, the President of the United States is saying that the Supreme Court of the United States consists of nine “sick people,” including three whom he appointed. apple.news/AMHDqIFcpRxi...
