I was among the people interview for this piece. Glad to see 60 Minutes standing behind it.
CBS just released promotional listings for this Sunday's @60minutes.bsky.social. One of the stories is titled "The Rule of Law" – it's a Scott Pelley report "on the law firms picked out by the President and the different ways they're responding to White House pressure."

“The Court correctly held that the President lacks authority to simply declare there’s been an invasion of the United States and then invoke a 18th century wartime authority during peacetime,” Gelernt said. “Congress never meant for this law to be used in this manner.”

trump will refuse to release Garcia because he would have to admit that he is an idiot.
This exchange is so very telling.
Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this:
"I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

The Trump Administration admitted in court that it NEVER should've abducted Kilmar, yet it continues to defy a court order to facilitate his return.
Trump claims there's nothing he can do. But as I wrote to him today, the VP of El Salvador told me explicitly — the ball is in Trump's court:

Every parent, teacher, & educator should be LIVID. Oklahoma’s Walters is shoving Trump’s $60 grifter bibles into public schools while a Black reverend is arrested for praying in the Capitol? This isn’t education—it’s indoctrination. Ever heard of the Constitution? SEPARATION. OF. CHURCH. AND. STATE.

LOL did he not get a copy of Project 2025? The reckoning I talked about a couple of months ago is here: where elected republicans in congress are going to have to choose between Trump and their constituents (and their rich donors losing money in a recession.)
Rep. David Valadao expressed deep concerns that many of his GOP peers are pushing politically toxic, and ultimately doomed, proposals to make deep cuts to Medicaid
