French MEP Raphaël Glucksmann says the US should give back the Statue of Liberty:
"We’re going to say to the Americans who have chosen to side with the tyrants, to the Americans who fired researchers for demanding scientific freedom: ‘Give us back the Statue of Liberty.’"

This statement from AG Bondi is a disgrace. The judge did not “support” terrorists. He decided a case, based on facts and law, finding the requirements of the Alien Enemy Act lacking.

I am tracking 3 separate cases where the government is violating court orders. The question now is whether judges find willfulness and hold officials in contempt.

1. What you see here is clearest illustration why things are so messed up and why it cannot get any better until this asymmetry is addressed.
Put simply: the right-wing has narrative dominance.

Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

The Democratic Party’s popularity just hit an all-time low per NBC News—and that’s before @schumer.senate.gov shit the bed.
We can’t bank on a midterm advantage. Folks are furious at Trump, but also at Dems for lacking fight.
Dems need to give us something to vote for. Schumer can’t lead.

Murphy: "This is not a normal political fight. What Trump is doing right now is absolutely insidious. He is every single day acting unconstitutionally, he is trying to destroy the rule of law ... this to me is a moment where we need to be restraining POTUS's power, not giving him new authorities"

Whoa! Rep. James Clyburn acknowledges that Leader Hakeem Jeffries was “blindsided” by Chuck Schumer’s vote and also says that House Democrats are on retreat, talking about a primary challenge. 🔥
@schumer.senate.gov isn’t up for reelection until 2028. Chuck needs to step down from leadership now.

I strongly suspect this recent piece from Prof. David Knoll is about to be come extremely relevant and widely read.
"Even a rogue marshal’s service, in other words, is not an insurmountable obstacle to courts enforcing the rule of law. If courts have the courage, the legal tools are there."

BREAKING: Trump and Republicans say they’ll focus their efforts on defeating Native American candidate Deb Haaland, who is running for governor of New Mexico.
She has protected sacred lands and stood up to bullies. It’s obvious why they want her to lose.
