this is such good news. i think it is also an opportunity for democrats to state forthrightly that when they win power again everyone responsible for this crime will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and will face the american people to answer for their lawlessness
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

The Trump administration’s anti-DEI snitching plan is getting flooded with fake reports after it tried to strong-arm federal workers into ratting out their colleagues.

Donald Trump wants people to expose diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in the federal government. The idea is already flopping.

This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

iPhone smuggling rings are going to crowd out the fentanyl
something I haven't seen yet: isn't a massive increase in the range of goods worth smuggling going to be a big boost to exactly the kind of cross-border organized crime the WH claims it wants to stop?

The SAVE Act, explained fully in this thread, is up for vote this Thursday. The burdens are extreme. Under this bill, most Americans wouldn’t be able to register to vote using their driver’s license or state-provided ID alone.
Here’s why this fascist bill is a massive voter suppression tool.

Breaking: Sen. Richard Blumenthal says he plans to place a hold on ALL Trump nominees going forward.
This will force Republicans to hold individual votes to override each hold, which will severely slow down their agenda.

The government is snatching people off the streets and shipping them to foreign prisons from which, the government claims, they can never be extracted. All with no due process. It’s as bad as it gets. And this court is again avoiding the reality of what’s happening at all costs.
The majority writing that individuals need due process and notice and an opportunity to file a habeas petition is nice. But it reads to me as partially designed to take the sting off the majority’s brutal order - while not altering its horrifying substance all that much.
