The Trump administration isn't exporting our problems to Bukele's El Salvador. It's importing their principles. From today's @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social:

China has ordered its airlines not to take any further deliveries of Boeing Co. jets. youtu.be/6LhDA5_6LnE

Bondi grotesquely claims that Abrego Garcia's wife and child are better off with him gone

THREE EQUAL BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT. It’s in our Constitution and at the very heart of our democracy. Article 3 establishes the judicial branch. It’s the job of judges to determine if the actions of the Administration violate our laws. Full. Stop. That’s how our democracy works.

"Boasberg is, in effect, calling the government’s bluff."

Boasberg has game: "To permit officials to freely annul the judgments of the courts of the United States wd not just “destroy the rights acquired under those judgments”; it would make “a solemn mockery” of “the constitution itself.” (Marshall, C.J.). “So fatal a result must be deprecated by all.”

My mother was the epitome of kindness and generosity. She was a lifelong, devout Christian, and did her very best to live up to that standard. Not long after she died, I found in her desk a book called "2000 Questions About Me." She hadn't answered ALL the questions, but she did answer this one:

A helpful guide to the current state of US trade policy:

JUST IN: Deputy Assistant to the President and "Counterterrorism Czar" Sebastian Gorka says anyone advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be viewed as "aiding and abetting a terrorist" and be federally charged. (h/t Philip Germain)

The least surprising news of the day.

Pam Bondi, prove it. You're the Attorney General. Show us the evidence.

oh ok give me a moment while I look for my shocked face 🙄 oh wait that’s not it 🤮dang where is it 😵‍💫oh wait here it is 😱

I’m sorry she lost her daughter—but Kilmar Garcia had nothing to do with it. She’s twisting two different stories. Mad her tax dollars sent Sen Van Hollen to El Salvador—but not mad they’re funding Kilmar’s indefinite imprisonment w/out due process? One more time: easier to be angry than informed.

The possibility of abduction by a sovereign and imprisonment abroad is one criterion that separates democracies from dictatorships. The Declaration of Independence called the British king tyrannical for transporting Americans, “beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offenses.”

TEMU. HITLER.

DHS is threatening to revoke Harvard’s ability to host international students and the IRS is looking at revoking their tax exemption. The “stop the weaponization of government” crowd sure is quiet as fuck on this one.

The VA is having mental health clinicians work in cubicle farms and tell veterans they can’t guarantee their privacy because of SecVA’s asinine return to work order. There isn’t room! Veterans will suffer. That’s the real goal. Force VA to fail. The price? Veterans. Enough is enough.

I'm sorry, what now?!

The administration’s lies about this case are insane.

How many people do you think have received threats from Trump, Musk & their goons? Thousands? This interview by Rachel Maddow was chilling. You must watch & share it because our government is being attacked from within! The bravery of Daniel Berulis is so inspiring. I hope it's contagious. 🧵

A Mexican family that fled to the U.S. to escape cartel violence filed an emergency appeal at SCOTUS to prevent their imminent deportation @courthousenews.bsky.social

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

A judge has found probable cause to hold the Trump administration in contempt of court. One problem: the agency in charge of arresting officials for contempt is the US Marshals Service...which appears to be allied with Elon Musk.

Hegseth is systematically ushering people out of their offices at the #Pentagon and accusing them of “leaks.” Odd when Hegseth was the key leaker in #SignalGate and has yet to resign over that serious breach to #NationalSecurity. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

REPORTER: Why not show the public the evidence? BONDI: Well, he is an illegal alien who has been living illegally in our country from El Salvador ... He is not coming back to our country R: But the evidence. We're not gonna see the evidence? BONDI: We have the transcripts from the court hearings

JUST IN: Judge finds 'probable cause' to hold U.S. in contempt over Alien Enemies Act deportations

So they named their kid after a historical figure who murdered his brother.

*HIGHLY RECOMMENDED* This is a REALLY GOOD article if you're looking for some "What happens next" info on Trump vs The Courts. It taught me a lot about who can do what, and who can't. #MAGAmerica

Check out this article from USA TODAY: In return to national stage, Biden accuses Trump of 'taking a hatchet' to Social Security www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

🚨BREAKING: Judge finds flying migrants to El Salvador after orders not to "demonstrate a willful disregard for its Order, sufficient for the Court to conclude that probable cause exists to find the Government in criminal contempt." Visit www.democracydocket.com for full details and analysis.

It's pretty unconscionable that when Pam Bondi was asked to show proof against Kilmar Abrego Garcia, she said they have court transcripts. The Attorney General of the United States thinks that their allegations in court are EVIDENCE?! Vile.

Obviously not, but the original title was "The Personhood Principle." The anti-choice movement wants to erase women's personhood in favour of fetal rights.
