The DOJ lawyer who made the mistake of answering the court's questions about Abrego-Garcia candidly (eg yes he was mistakenly deported, a fact the Administration already has acknowledged), which got him put on administrative leave, has now been fired, ending his 15-year DOJ career..

It's just very very hard to litigate against a party that is not acting in good faith and doesn't care about the penalties the courts have to offer.

It's genuinely hard to express to sort of normal not politically plugged in non-lawyers *how* lawless the Trump administration is, and I think that's some part of the problem.

You sound like you're hyperventilating, but it's just a flat description of what is going on.

One of the pillars of American power is that the most ambitious and brilliant researchers on the planet come to our universities to learn and advance knowledge that drives our economy. Trump sent his goons after one who fled Russia's fascism. Many will leave.

Yesterday, the Trump admin (legally) instituted a 9% cut to international narcotics control & law enforcement - and because of how far we are in the fiscal year, it operates like an immediate 16% cut.
