I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination. He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech. Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin. So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

A federal court judge says the record is exceedingly slim regarding Abrego Garcia's supposed MS-13 connection. If he was a "top member," you'd think the Justice Department would provide evidence to that judge.

“In Russia, dissent can cost critics their business licences, liberty and even their lives. It seems a matter of time before other less besieged western legal systems hear petitions by US citizens for asylum.”

Martin O'Malley just mentioned state attorneys general filing state kidnapping charges. Just imagine the collective cheer in this country if state troopers pulled over, arrested and cuffed a van full of masked ICE fascists.

No one should be above the law, most especially the President. Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return isn't just cruel; it's unconstitutional. They're saying the quiet part aloud — if they get away with it now, they'll do it to anyone.

"The Roberts Court will now have to decide whether to side with the Constitution or with a lawless president asserting the power to disappear people at will. This is not a power that any person, much less an American president, is meant to have." www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Many native-born American immigration lawyers have received official letters from the government demanding that they self-deport. Apparently DHS used a list of aliens including many who listed their attorneys’ contact info by way of a care-of address. The country’s in the very best of hands.

A 14-year-old American boy and his two friends were gunned down by Israeli soldiers Sunday night. Their largely American village in the West Bank is wondering why Trump and the U.S. government have said so little about the killing of one of its citizens.

Scary things that you may have recently read headlines about that it turned out you didn’t have to worry about include: microplastics in your brain, black plastic spatulas, intermittent fasting, and plant based meat alternatives. Also, no, you do not eat a credit card’s worth of plastic a month.

Before folks overreact to headlines about the judge’s ruling in the Khalil case, please note that (1) it was an immigration judge (IJ), not a federal district court; and (2) the IJ had no power to consider Khalil’s constitutional objections. This particular decision was a fait accompli.

There are some very bad stories going around about the Mahmoud Kahlil case. The hearing today was before an immigration judge — which is located within the Justice Department. They are NOT a "federal judge" in the sense that anyone reading at least one nationwide story saying so thinks of it.

Hard to believe the hill the Justice Department wants to die on, we don’t want to comply with your order so we aren’t going to. Nothing like engaging in explicitly lawless behavior they don’t even pretend to regret.

Lawyers for Luigi Mangione asked a federal court on Friday to bar prosecutors from seeking the death penalty against him, arguing that Attorney General Pam Bondi’s recently announced decision to do so was “explicitly and unapologetically political.”

🚨NEW: The NC Supreme Court's GOP majority will retroactively nullify 2,000 to 7,000 ballots from military and overseas voters unless they quickly prove their identity—but only those who voted in a few Democratic counties. Could overturn Justice Riggs' victory. appellate.nccourts.org/orders.php?t...

Trump defying a court order. This is a crucial moment on the road to (or from) authoritarianism. Here we go.

BREAKING: As expected, and consistent with all the PROOF reporting from the past week, the Trump administration has now _refused to follow court orders_ in the Abrego Garcia case. Major media misinformed the public by telling them that the Supreme Court ruling in the case was a win for rule of law.

Oh look, Trump is threatening Mexico with tariffs again. At this point countries will just laugh at this ass clown. His credibility is shot. He can’t stick with tariffs because of the same domestic pressure he’s caved to 4 times already in less than 90 days. Just hollow threats.

So today, the Supreme Court told the President of the United States that he can't "accidentally" send people to an overseas prison and just leave them there. I want you to think about what has to happen for us to get to this point.

In a rational world with a functioning polity, this would be a good moment for Congress to claw back its power over tariffs. Because, as David French noted, “that which Trump arbitrarily revokes, he can arbitrarily invoke tomorrow.” open.substack.com/pub/charlies...
