How a Judge Tells a President to F**k Off
I read a lot of court documents, and I like to highlight some from time to time that really encapsulate the moment we find ourselves in. The latest from the 4th Circuit does it perfectly.

NEW: A deportation case exposes a rift among Democrats over how to take on Trump
One camp sees a pivotal moment to lean in and fight a lawless move.
Another camp sees a trap and wants to pivot to hitting Trump on his growing economic vulnerability.

Abrego Garcia's deportation case exposes a rift among Democrats over how to take on Trump
As some Democrats vocally push for the release of the man the administration says was mistakenly deported, others have sought to steer clear and focus on high prices and economic issues.

I think we are well past that point already. But as I started saying two and a half months ago, the administration will at some juncture openly state that it is defying court orders. And that will happen very soon.
At what point does defying court orders signal to the populace, the government, and the remaining institutions that this needs to be stopped now?

On Sunday, a report is due that could include a recommendation to invoke the Insurrection Act as part of Trump’s effort to "secure" the southern border.
Let’s be clear: This might not happen. But we’d be foolish not to take the possibility seriously. This isn’t about fear, it’s about preparation.
