I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.
Actually, Slavery Was Very Bad
The president’s latest criticism of museums is a thinly veiled attempt to erase Black history.

going to keep saying: a society that would like to maintain its basic functions has really got to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by people in positions of authority
I asked ICE where the “413% increase in assaults” justification for its officers using masks came from. They didn’t answer. So I dug into it, and what I found … did not boost their argument.

Opinion | Parsing ICE’s mixed-up, hard-to-believe assault claims
ICE officials keep touting a 413 percent increase in assaults on officers to justify officers masking their identities.

Good. These cases deserve all the thunder the judiciary can muster
This is a thundering ruling. He hasn't formally issued it yet, but it's clear where it's going.

Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented.
His argument fails even on its own terms.

They are “teasing” turning the country into a dictatorship
This should be the top story in Axios’s morning read. But it isn’t. It’s the FIFTH top story.

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...

Hard to come up with a non-nefarious rationale for this.
Kseniia Petrova, a Russian scientist at Harvard Medical School, was detained at Logan Airport after returning from France and sent to an ICE detention in Louisiana, The Insider reports.
A big critic of Putin and the war in Ukraine, she may now be deported to Russia.

Our legal system needs to quickly figure out how to deal with an administration that will brazenly contradict its sworn testimony in public speeches.
Speeches are not testimony but the contradictions are material and courts need to sort out whether they or the American people are being lied to

President Trump just directly contradicted the Government's court filing in one of the most important cases before the courts.
President Trump: "DOGE ... which is headed by Elon Musk who is in the gallery tonight."
A boost for the plaintiffs in the Appointments Clause cases.
