As a related aside: Over the past few months, some of Trump's evangelical boosters have primed supporters to look past unsettling news stories regarding immigration, suggesting their stories are an act of manipulation and referring to the new book "The Sin of Empathy".

8/ This is a watershed moment, as Trump thumbs his nose at a Supreme Court ruling, gaslighting the public by pretending his won 9-0 when he lost 9-0.

As a reminder here: this is not Trump's money! He is impounding funds illegally based on the most obvious fig leafs to settle grievances. It is an extraordinary abuse of his public office.

In Massachusetts, at Logan airport, immigration thugs stripped an innocent man naked, tortured him, and pressured him to give up his green card.
The headline really sanitizes what they did to this guy. Getting stripped naked, inadequate food, sleep deprivation sounds more like war on terror ear rendition than "interrogation."

NEW: During a 3-hour preliminary injunction hearing in a suit alleging that Elon Musk wields unprecedented power in violation of the Appointments Clause, a federal judge grew frustrated with government counsel's inability to answer questions about DOGE’s chain of command and Musk's role.
![JUDGE: Who was the head of DOGE before Amy Gleason?
GOVERNMENT COUNSEL: I can’t answer that, I don’t know.
JUDGE: I mean, that seems like a knowable fact, doesn’t it?
GOVERNMENT COUNSEL: I’m sure it is knowable; I just don’t know it. I’m very conscious of being accurate with the court…I just can’t make a representation.
JUDGE: Have you asked anyone?
GOVERNMENT COUNSEL: I have not asked…actually, strike that. I have asked previously, and I was not able to get answer.
JUDGE: Are you saying there was an administrator before Ms. Gleason? Or that there was nobody until this new person [Gleason] was put in?
GOVERNMENT COUNSEL: I’m not saying either, because I don’t know.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:t4x2ruk2qmob2b2cx55h4v7r/bafkreic3k7xhk3l2hgbwbfnwv7exmw3hq2buhout5qjxgt2iyuelzvuzv4@jpeg)
