Hegseth continues to disgrace America—and the office of the SecDef.

He continues to attack our press—instead of attacking our enemies.

He’s more aggressive against Jen Griffin of Fox than he is against Putin.
FOX NEWS'S JENNIFER GRIFFIN: Are you certain none of that highly enriched uranium was moved?

HEGSETH: Jennifer, you've been about the worst. The one who misrepresents the most intentionally.

GRIFFIN: I take issue with that

This would mean indicting Abrego Garcia was entirely performative- for show.
NEW: The govt says it plans to begin proceedings to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to an unnamed third country (not El Salvador, where an immigration court found he is in danger of persecution) once he is released from TN criminal custody (as soon as tomorrow).
Judge Xinis: What info can you tell me about DHS's intention once Abrego is released by the criminal court?

US: He will be taken into ICE custody, and removal proceedings will be initiated.

Xinis: Removal to El Salvador or a third country?

US: A third country is my understanding

NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night.

Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.”
She’s a constituent.
Not a threat.

When a reporter asked Trump about China’s denial, he said: “Well, they had a meeting this morning.” The reporter answered: “Who’s they?” Trump replied: “I can’t tell you. It doesn’t matter who ‘they’ is. We may reveal it later.”

This is Un-f-n-believable. This Econimist cover is spot on.

Pete Hegseth is treating the Pentagon like it’s a Fox News set—ordering a makeup studio while leaking sensitive information in Signal chats.

This is what happens when you put clout-chasers in charge of national security.

The Trump admin is rebuilding the machinery of disappearance—eyes wide open. From ICE detention, CECOT, and Guantánamo Bay, what began as emergency powers is now policy. Brian O’Neill warns
CECOT has no rules. Gitmo might be next.

SCOTUS ruled 9-0—twice—that the Trump admin can’t deport people without due process, and must facilitate the return of a person wrongfully deported. I joined @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com to explain the Administration’s lawless — and cruel — actions.

Trump commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, saying out loud, on camera, that Social Security recipients should accept missing a month's payment without complaint, and calling them criminals if they did complain, should be an inescapable political disaster.

And maybe already is.

🚨BREAKING: It seems very clear that the Administration decided not to abide by the court's order. The question now is what will the judge do. Does he proceed with contempt or something short of that to defuse.

Upping the stakes is the fact that the AG and her senior staff signed this notice.
