Trump “reveals” what everyone already suspected, he’s been having regular phone calls with Putin. Both Trump and Musk have been in frequent contact with the Kremlin long before the US election.

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

President Trump expected to invoke a wartime authority (Alien Enemies Act) to deport immigrants without due process. Wartime? And yet: "The Department of Defense is not expected to have a role in the invoking of the authority." Because it's not a war. abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...

I just turned on the joint press conference between Trump and the Irish PM in time to hear the President say: "Chuck Schumer is now a Palestinian. He used to be Jewish, now he's a Palestinian." I have nothing to say about this. I just wanted to tell you.

Donald Trump openly admits he’s aiding Russia in its genocidal invasion of Ukraine. He's depriving them of air defenses so they'll "settle" (surrender). He cynically declares, "I won't provide air defense because I want to stop death" as Russia increases its attacks nationwide targeting civilians.

When a "pause" is just a (grotesque) feint. DOJ's Indraneel Sur said the government "completed its review and canceled most of the contracts as a result ... Under a separate authority than the executive order ... to pause the aid." Sur then said the #USAID cancellations meant judge's TRO is moot.
