Wrong. There is a court order that says Abrego Garcia cannot be removed to El Salvador. DoJ violated it. Were he returned to the U.S., DoJ would need to challenge that court order and convince a judge to terminate it in order to lawfully remove him to El Salvador.
Bondi on Abrego Garcia: "Even if President Bukele said, 'we'll send him back,' all that would happen is one more step in paperwork and he would go right back to El Salvador because he is an MS-13 member. ICE testified to that ... he's not a 'Maryland man.' He's a guy from El Salvador."

Gratifying to know that the DOD is being run with all of the care, expertise, maturity, and competence of a group of middle schoolers egging an old guy’s house. It’d be hilarious if it weren’t, you know, for nukes and stuff 🤷🏻‍♂️

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Thousands of potential layoffs *apparently* still isn't efficient enough for Elon Musk. Now, operatives linked to DOGE are reportedly modifying AutoRIF, a Defense Department program that could enable mass firings of federal workers.

He's talking about people like Gregg:
Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.

100% of his salary is paid by WA state.

Elon fired him. Share his story.

There’s a lot of “agree to disagree” noise coming from MAGA lately. What they mean is “I can’t coherently defend my decisions and the harm they cause, but I don’t want to be held accountable, and I’d also like you to humor the pretense that my stupidity is a reasonable disagreement.”
Most of mine won't talk to me anymore, because I am no longer able to control myself, and I just intellectually steamroll them into oblivion, and refuse to respect their desire to "agree to disagree" on whether rampant lawbreaking by the executive is justifiable.

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.
Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story.

Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver.

This is what "merit" means to them.
