Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

Such a good point on SCOTUS hypocrisy when it comes to Trump vs Biden:
They let a nationwide injunction kill Biden’s student loan relief when they had a chance to rule on it.
5 months into Trump’s presidency, suddenly nationwide injunctions are a grave threat to executive power and they must rule.

What Elon Musk didn’t realize is that reducing the deficit is not—and has never been—the GOP’s priority. The big priorities (since Reagan) are cutting taxes and increasing military spending. Hence deficits regularly go up when Republicans are in power.

This sane washing—there not enough white out or bleach that can do that—of Trump, is why we are here. It’s journalistic malpractice. His father bailed out his incompetence, Burnett pushed a false narrative, Fox brainwashes his base, GOP lies for him and the media ignores his insanity and madness.

I hate to be that guy, but this is the five-alarm fire, and every elected Democrat and frankly, every Washington reporter should be ringing the bell. If it can happen to him, it can happen to anyone. Nobody with a voice should give this administration a moment’s peace about it.
NEW: A second filing today from the DOJ tells Judge Xinis that in their view, since Mr. Abrego is in Bukele's custody, she can't order them to do anything further to bring him back since that's not what "facilitate" means.
They also say the deal with Bukele is classified and/or a state secret.

So as Justice Sotomayor says, “The implication of the Government’s position is that not only noncitizens but also US citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal"

If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.
