During my discussion with @cnn.com's @lauracoates.com
last night, I mentioned Kilmar Abrego Garcia's scheduled check-in this morning — and how it remained to be seen what the government would try to do.

This morning, ANOTHER order blocking Abrego's detention.

We must approach each day with these questions: What can we do to protect free and fair elections? How can we counter what the GOP is doing? How can we advance the voting rights of every eligible citizen and ensure their ballots are accurately counted and elections properly certified?

Yesterday, at a threats hearing, an FBI official testified that “antifa” is a major national security threat, but couldn’t explain its structure, location, or membership. Meanwhile, the White House quietly released a new National Security Strategy that elevates mass migration as the defining threat.

Bennie Thompson on Noem: "Her arrival was short lived. She left in the middle of the hearing ostensibly to go to another meeting. We found that the meeting had been canceled, so she could've stayed. But nonetheless, we're not surprised, because this is who she is."

When Tina Peters lawyer heard the news of this, he said “freaking fantastic.” Someone should tell him it’s a “symbolic pardon” (meaning sympathy she’s in jail*) because you can’t pardon state crimes.
JFC. Maggat lawyers are stupid.

*he DGAF if she went to jail for him. As long as he’s not in jail.
Trump grants 'pardon' to Tina Peters that doesn't free her from prison
President Trump granted a symbolic "pardon" to Tina Peters, the only Trump ally in prison for crimes related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Even for me, this is pretty in the weeds, but the shift in tone in SCOTUSblog's coverage since Sarah Isgur and The Dispatch took over—more deferential to the Court, more reverential of the justices as celebrities, more credulous and stenographic across the board—has been...notable
Maybe this new blog can respond, in one of its first posts, to the argument that the term “interim docket” is a deliberately misleading attempt to minimize the (very permanent) doctrinal and real-world consequences of #SCOTUS’s rulings on emergency applications?

Enten: "Strongly approve of Trump, this is 2024 Trump voters. In March it was 66% percent. Look where we are now - it's just 50% of 2024 Trump voters strongly approve of him. They don't love him as much, and that means there's a permission structure to go against him. That's what you saw in Indiana"
