And Musk would either suffer a tragic helicopter accident or be declared guilty of corruption and his assets confiscated. Maybe both.

How can there be any relationship with God distinct from your relationship with people? I reject the entire premise of "vertical faith." Its not a thing.

Wake now discover that you are song that the morning brings ...

I don't think any legitimate news organization should quote, or cover, what Trump or his propaganda machine says. There is plenty of news on what they are doing.

1000% the dangerousness, the depravity, of losing a free media that can report the truth without fear or favor. Having said that, someone tell me how resigning is the best option. Is it not best to refuse the depraved orders from above and report them? Force them to fire you?

“And the ego that started this fight will never have a mirror or an audience or the light of gratitude.

So what do I sacrifice?

Everything!”

“What is MY sacrifice? …

I’m condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them. I burn my decency for someone else’s future. I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I’ll never see. ”

Respectfully, I don't fully understand the nature of any risk to Von Hollen.

How are you (Van Hollen) not explaining more, answering important questions about CECOT conditions, why is he not dressed like an inmate, why are you not just bringing him home?

Additional important context: Trump started talking about being abused by trading partners, and using tariffs to fix that, in the 80s just after returning from Moscow and meeting with the KGB.

Soviet orthodoxy at the time was that imbalanced trade was bad for the country.

This has made me think -- is there any way the judge can make the administration testify under oath about their assertions that Garcia is a terrorist, a gang member, etc?

Exactly what Seth is saying here. We lose our country UNLESS the courts, including SCOTUS, rule civil rights violations that continue after courts rule such are never considered official acts and full civil and criminal liability attaches for everyone involved including POTUS.

We don't need another. Partner with Bluesky social.

I'm not a lawyer, so this could be foolish: It seems Xinis is about this the wrong way. If the courts would hold that all admin officials, including POTUS, are subject to civil and criminal liability for violating civil rights previously recognized by the courts then Kilmar would be back in hours.

Losing patience now? Courts are losing this constitutional showdown.

Courts need to find, and SCOTUS needs to support, that their is no immunity either civilly or criminally for ignoring courts related to civil rights violations and that such liability extends to POTUS if proven that he knew.
