A Reagan-appointed judge just issued a scathing rebuke of the government’s actions in the Abrego Garcia case, warning of a constitutional crisis and executive overreach. This ruling is stunning—because it had to be.

"The problem with a delayed response is that the more power leaders with authoritarian tendencies accumulate, the harder it is to mount an effective resistance. The opposition is thus more likely to succeed if it acts early..."

"Our father, Michael I. Sovern, was the first Jewish president of Columbia University, which he served for more than 60 years. We believe that if he were alive today, he would be disgusted by the government’s coercion of Columbia, purportedly in the name of our religion." wapo.st/3RsPilK

Also, a woman was handcuffed at a subway station in NYC (Franklin Ave) when she intervened asking why a delivery man was asked to show work permit by undercover agents. There is a video of that.

The S.Ct. has overturned Trump’s freeze of $2 billion in foreign aid voted by Congress. SCOTUS directed the trial judge to “clarify what obligations the government must fulfill.” CJ Roberts and Justice Barrett joined the three liberal justices to form a 5-4 majority. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03...

“Warning to Big Law: those who fail to stand up while they can for the rule of law may rue its erosion and regret their silence.” Trump’s petty retribution violates the 1st and 6th amendments, but it still takes guts to ignore his threats and act honorably.

One by one, Trump is fencing in all his potential opponents. Now he’s sending a clear warning to lawyers to back off.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

🚨 Trump’s DOGE purge just made Veterans’ data a massive target.

They fired key cybersecurity staff protecting VA.gov —leaving millions of Veterans’ medical & personal records exposed.

This isn’t efficiency. It’s reckless and dangerous.
