You mean to tell me that Chicago gets to claim Michael Jordan, the first Black President AND the first American Pope? Good lord you ain't going to be able to tell them NOTHING.

I'm just a poor country political historian and not some big city media fella, but it *does* seem like a slightly big deal that the leader of the United States presented comically faked "evidence" in the Oval Office to justify his power to disappear ordinary people into a Central American prison?
Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

UPDATE - Donald Trump's most important security advisers used Signal to discuss an imminent military strike. NOW, reporting by DER SPIEGEL has found that the contact data of some of those officials, including private phone numbers and passwords, is freely accessible on the internet.

Don’t let them spin this Signal debacle as if it’s no big deal. It’s an epic national security failure and a massive story.

JUST IN: American Oversight is suing Hegseth, Gabbard, Ratcliffe et al, saying their messaging via Signal is a violation of the Federal Records Act.

Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.

Since the Trump admin Signal story broke, national security experts have called it the most egregious breach of classified information they’ve ever seen. It demands urgent accountability, resignations, and investigations.

Give it the scale of reporting it deserves.

I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.

The Signal leak is a prime moment for Democrats to get caught trying. Call for resignations or impeachment hearings or both. Be omnipresent in the media demanding and explaining accountability measures. Don’t let this fade away. Treat this the way the GOP treated Hillary’s emails. Make it a thing.

Last night, the President issued a memorandum titled “Preventing Abuses of the Legal System and Federal Court,” appearing to target those who represent clients in matters adverse to the federal government and specifically targeting Marc Elias*, a prominent attorney and voting rights champion.

The Trump administration helped bring back the Tate brothers (charged with rape and sexual trafficking), hosted Conor MacGregor (multiple allegations of sexual assault), and now invited Dom Lucre (horrific CSAM stuff) to the White House.

These are the people they're celebrating and defending.
Dom Lucre, who posted infamously horrific and wildly illegal child sexual abuse material to Twitter - and then had his account personally reinstated by Elon Musk - allegedly was recently invited to the White House.

I am on ~the lawyers~ story. Thanks to those who have already reached out. If you're at Paul Weiss, Perkins Coie, one of the Lucas (EEOC) letter firms or — given last night's memo — any firm and your firm has communicated internally (or externally) about Trump's attack on lawyers, please reach out.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

Recall that this court order yesterday should have halted prisoner flights from landing in El Salvador as of the moment it was entered. It appears that order was not followed.

All eyes are on how DOJ will explain this failure to comply and what the judge will do.
🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS motion to HALT deportation under rarely invoked Alien Enemies Act of 1798. “A TRO is appropriate for the class members to prevent the removal of the class.”

WOW. Planes in air must turn around.

A huge win @democracyforward.org and @aclu.org.

I am tracking 3 separate cases where the government is violating court orders. The question now is whether judges find willfulness and hold officials in contempt.
