Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

Term 2 Trump foreign policy - from tariffs to NATO to soft power to China and Russia - is an epic mess. One reason seems to be that the administration is operating with two conflicting, equally flawed, views of the world and the US's place in it. 🧵

Wieso lassen wir uns von den Medien, bezahlt von Milliardären, die keine oder kaum Steuern zahlen, gegen Migranten aufhetzen, die ihren fairen Anteil an Steuern zahlen?

Fascist Russia just struck the center of Sumy in NE Ukraine with an Iskander-M quasi-ballistic missile. The Kremlin’s campaign of terror-bombing Ukrainian cities continues.

NEW: I confirmed w/ CBP that the email @nicolemicheroni.bsky.social receive telling her to self-deport is real, not a scam. It's also is very weird and likely causing fear and chaos. I spoke w/ Micheroni—a US citizen and immigration attorney—about her experience. www.wired.com/story/homela...

@warren.senate.gov: "State attorneys general have the same opportunity to investigate, dig in, get what the facts are. So for example, Letitia James, the NY attorney general, which has jurisdiction over the stock market and the trading that happens in NY, might decide she would take a look at this."

One President wildly exceeded his authority by forgiving some student loans; a different President barely scratched the surface of his authority by disappearing anyone he pleases without trial to a foreign gulag. Constitutional law is a serious intellectual enterprise.
