Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

277 men remain imprisoned at CECOT after they were illegally rendered without due process from the United States.
(And one is, thankfully, back in the United States, facing Trumped up charges that were filed in a pathetic attempt to save face.)

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.
They are in charge.
They are in charge.

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

This is a lie. Here's how Mr. Abrego gets back.
1. Bukele releases him from CECOT.
2. The US gives him humanitarian parole as part of the court order requiring them to facilitate his return.
3. His family buys him a plane ticket.
4. He flies home.
THIS ISN'T HARD.

COLLINS: Can President Bukele weigh in on this? Do you plan to return Garcia?
BUKELE: How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? Of course I'm not going to do it. The question is preposterous
TRUMP: These are sick people

"the state can just summarily imprison someone without filing charges or holding a trial" doesn't just overturn democracy it overturns 1000 years of common law, like throwing out the entire legal system entirely and saying all people in America are the state's property.
They continue to violate a court order to retrieve someone they illegally deported.
We’re now well beyond a constitutional crisis. If they’re allowed to do this, their secret police can sweep up anyone, for any reason, deport them & refuse to bring them back.
That would be the end of democracy.

Trump nominated a guy to the bench. Everyone said he was a lazy ideologue with bad temperament and the usual suspects dismissed that as liberal rubbish. Anyway he just issued a dissent from a Ninth Circuit opinion in the form of a YouTube video with Old Spice ads in which he waves guns around.

Since this is going around, I went back and checked.
Yes, Ms Kingsley Wilson, the new Deputy Press Secretary of the U.S. Department of Defense, was posting German far-right battle cries in German on X less than a year ago.
("Foreigners out. Germany to the Germans. Foreigners out.")

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.
