NEW: Read the resignation letter of three federal prosecutors who'd worked on the Eric Adams case: "Now, the Department has decided that obedience supersedes all else, requiring us to abdicate our legal and ethical obligations in favor of directions from Washington." static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

My expert analysis of this order: Judge Xinis big mad

BREAKING: we won! A federal judge has enjoined the administration's shut down of Voice of America Another success for the Constitution and for us @sddaction.bsky.social & our many wonderful partners & clients More details to follow--stay tuned!

How are things going with respect to the discovery before Judge Xinis in Abrego García? Well, the government describes as a “false premise” that it “has been ordered to facilitate Abrego García’s release.” (That’s *literally* what #SCOTUS held.) pacer-documents.s3.amazonaws.com/84/578815/09...

The Supreme Court says we can and MUST

I am in El Salvador because I will not stand by while our country is thrown into a constitutional crisis. This is a moment to act. I will not rest until due process is upheld for all.

I have seen a few questions regarding Democracy Docket: 1. It does not sell subscriber or member information or email addresses. 2. It is not part of Substack or ActBlue. It is fearlessly independent, unapologetically pro-democracy. Subscribe now. newsletters.democracydocket.com

Pete Hegseth is a pretty despicable human being, on top of the other, many deficits he brought to the Pentagon But you should be even madder at the 50 senators who knew Hegseth was an alcoholic, a serial abuser of women, and a poser massively unqualified for the post and yet voted for him anyway

Workers who track data on car crashes, drownings, traumatic brain injury, falls in the elderly, and other perils lost their jobs. Advocates worry life-saving work will stop.

Ainsley Earhardt: “Now, look at these crowds. This is where our country is going. And it is very, very scary.”

The Pentagon is in "total chaos" and Pete Hegseth is unlikely to remain in his role, according to its former top spokesperson, who painted a scene of dysfunction, backstabbing and missteps at the highest levels of the department. "The building is in disarray." www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Wow, who could’ve predicted the unqualified Fox News guy would be really bad at leading the literal United States Military?!

Pete Hegseth is clearly ill-equipped to handle the role of Secretary of Defense. His repeated failure to follow basic operational security procedures jeopardizes the safety and security of our armed forces. He should resign.

BREAKING NEWS: The White House has begun the process of looking for a new secretary of defense, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly.

Raskin: The president derives his powers only either from the Constitution explicitly or from an act of Congress and Congress certainly has never given the president the power to relocate prisoners to foreign countries and there's nothing in the constitution that remotely vests that power…

Last week, DHS and Secretary Noem's staff and spokespeople suggested that because Mr. Abrego Garcia had $1,100 in cash on him when arrested outside Home Depot seeking day labor, that was strong evidence that he was a member of MS-13. I guess that raises a similar question about her $3,000.

Drunkard rapist Fox host Pete Hegseth shared Yemen attack details in another Signal chat which included his wife and brother. We went from a highly decorated 4-star General as Defense Secretary to an unstable scumbag who texts out classified intel like a grocery list.

New: Pete Hegseth shared sensitive information about military strikes to another Signal group chat that included his wife and brother.

BREAKING NYT: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about forthcoming strikes in Yemen on March 15 in a private Signal group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer, according to four people with knowledge of the chat.

“The Pentagon is in ‘total chaos’ and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is unlikely to remain in his role, according to its former top spokesperson, who painted a scene of dysfunction, backstabbing and continuous missteps at the highest levels of the department.”

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Remember the 6 men who forcibly removed Dr. Teresa Borrenphol from the Coeur d'Alene town hall? They’ve been arrested and charged! www.kivitv.com/news/six-men...

Van Hollen: "I'm very glad that the killed of Rachel Morin has been convicted in a court of law. That is how we hold guilty people accountable ... I'm not sure why Abrego Garcia's rights should be denied based on an awful murder he had absolutely nothing to do with."

We have two Supreme Court Justices—Thomas & Alito—who have come out of the closet about their contempt for the Constitution.

🚨BREAKING: Thousands have gathered at Bryant Park in #NYC to declare that this is Our City Our Fight! #ProtectMigrants and #ProtectthePlanet! The march hasn't even begun yet! @planetoverprofit.org @stopmoneypipeline.bsky.social @nychange.bsky.social

If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.

NEW: Judge Sessions orders Rümeysa Öztürk transferred from Louisiana to Vermont, finding that she “has presented viable and serious habeas claims which warrant urgent review.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

NOW: Judge Boasberg has called an emergency hearing regarding the imminent movement of detainees to CECOT in El Salvador. I'm on the public line and I'll post what I can about the hearing here. 1/

STARTING NOW: Judge Boasberg holds an emergency hearing on reportedly imminent Alien Enemies Act deportations. 🧵

NEW: In this evening’s emergency hearing, DOJ lawyer Drew Ensign told Judge Boasberg that no Alien Enemies Act deportation flights will take place tonight, and “people he spoke with”are unaware of any plans for flights tomorrow. Of course, Judge Boasberg was highly skeptical of Ensign’s…

A presidential effort to revoke Harvard University's tax-exempt status could run up against a number of challenges, including violating federal law.

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

Americans are entitled to and should demand better than this from the President of the United States.

This "WHO'S NEVER COMING BACK" document published by the White House should be "EXHIBIT A" in any forthcoming hearing where a judge/justice has asked the White House to prove how it is "facilitating" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

David Brooks is ready to take it to the streets and Senator Van Hollen has demonstrated admirable resolve and compassion for a constituent in danger, let's make this the flapping of butterfly wings that causes a tornado

This is how to respond to the Abrego Garcia issue! Thank you, Mayor Pete!

“The government is asserting a right to stash away residents of this country in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process that is the foundation of our constitutional order,” the court said. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Senator Van Hollen is a hero.

Kaitlan Collins to Homan: "You say everything was done right here and I heard Stephen Miller in the Oval Office also argue he was lawfully deported. But this administration has admitted in court that he was mistakenly deported, that he should not have been deported."

Just finding out that Senator Van Hollen was successful in his attempt to meet with Kilmar Garcia… It’s a start…well done.

i have no doubt that senator van hollen was genuinely concerned for the safety and welfare of abrego garcia BUT ALSO this is what i'm talking about when i say POLITICAL AMBITION. van hollen may well make himself a household name and nationally recognized political figure with this move

It’s gotten so bad that Donald Trump has his own party members afraid of retaliation if they dare cross him. We need a Senator who stands up for Michigan, even if it means standing up to Trump. That’s exactly why this race, and holding on to this seat, matters so much.

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything, Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT. ~ All of Us
