I am convinced the conservative majority of the Supreme Court knows that Trump is awful. I think they believe that the modern administrative state shields the country from many of the actions of terrible leaders. I believe they think we fucked around by electing him, and we need to find out.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.
Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

A government that deliberately abandons the rule of law is not morally entitled to its protections.

There is a real possibility that Charlie Kirk’s death will serve as a pretext for authoritarian purges.
And our political culture does not have much experience with that. Mainstream reporters and politicians are not in the habit of recognizing or naming it.

No one knows exactly what was on the Venezuelan boat that was struck by the US military, but the fact that the strike was okayed by the president’s son suggests that there was no cocaine aboard.

As long as they’re hiding their faces, badges and names we should stop calling them “federal agents.”
Call them masked goons or unidentified thugs or whatever, unless and until they provide proper ID.

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

I once had lunch with WWE Superstar Ken Kennedy, and not knowing who he was asked him what he did for work.
His agent was also at this lunch, and when Mr. Kennedy shot him an incredulous look after my question, his agent quietly said "Not your demographic."

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers.
That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.
