True but we hardly needed the intel community to tell us that Trump is lying and we weren’t being invaded. We need to get to a place where we acknowledge reality and act on it without waiting for a court or intelligence product to justify reality.

As you read about SCOTUS blocking some deportations, make sure you read this piece on how the IC debunked Trump's claim that Venezuela is behind Tren de Aragua. That undermines the entire premise of Trump's AEA invocation (even before the "invasion" claim).

U.S. intelligence contradicts Trump’s justification for mass deportations
The determination is the most comprehensive assessment to date undercutting the president’s rationale for deporting suspected Tren de Aragua members without due process.

Put aside the lies and the open defiance of the Supreme Court, as well as the cruelty, and ask yourself: who talks like this? This is the *official* account of the *White House* - is it being run by a six year old?

The Trump administration wants this confrontation with the courts. No other way to read this. He’s trying to break government.
From the application granted by the Court:
“Many individuals have already been loaded on to buses, presumably headed to the airport.”

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

I’m sorry she lost her daughter—but Kilmar Garcia had nothing to do with it.
She’s twisting two different stories. Mad her tax dollars sent Sen Van Hollen to El Salvador—but not mad they’re funding Kilmar’s indefinite imprisonment w/out due process?
One more time: easier to be angry than informed.

Again, the closest thing they have to "proof" that Abrego Garcia was even remotely affiliated with MS-13 was the word of a local cop who was suspended a month later for misconduct. That's it.
But now he's one of the world's most dangerous criminals?
