This is an absolute must-read. The number of people otherwise eligible for bond and release that are now being detained is gobsmacking.
#ICYMI: I wrote about the chaotic flood of immigration detention cases caused by the Trump administration's attempt to reclassify *millions* of migrants who have lived here for years/decades as "arriving aliens," and the remarkably broad (and growing) array of federal judges who keep rejecting it:
195. The Immigration Detention Flood
The Trump administration's attempt to quietly—but massively—expand who can be detained pending their removal has been met with overwhelming pushback from a remarkably large number of district courts.

Trump: "Is Trump in good health? I sit here, I do four news conferences a day. I ask questions from very intelligent lunatics -- you people. I give the right answers. There's never a scandal. There's never a problem. I give you answers that solve your little problems."

I know most of you are sane and not masochist like me and follow the right wing swamp and ecosystem.
However, MAGA has gone full white nationalist and Groyper. It's the entire party now. Just straight up neo Nazi language and conspiracy theories and rhetoric.

Reporter: Governor Walz called for the release of your MRI results
Trump: They were perfect like my phone call where I got impeached.
Reporter: Can you tell us what they were looking at?
Trump: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it.

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:
To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing
"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."
