NEW: The DOJ will potentially treat opponents of Trump’s policies as “domestic terrorists,” according to a leaked memo. The move appears to represent the department’s first attempt to implement Trump’s calls to target left-wing activists and others who protest his policies.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

A missile screams down from the sky and sinks your boat. You climb onto a fragment of it. You hear an aircraft overhead. You wave toward it: don't shoot, help me. Maybe you know they have to provide assistance. This goes on for 45 minutes. Only then do they execute you with another missile.

The Constitution is very straightforward on birthright citizenship. There's no ambiguity in the language, no other plausible interpretation.
The fact that this is a public discussion at all, and that the Supreme Court is taking it up, is on its own anti-constitutional bullshit.

Not to defend Olivia Nuzzi, who broke every rule in journalism and promoted a charlatan to his current position. But it's incredibly telling that she will lose her job, but RFK Jr. gets to stay in his job despite the reports of his drug use, his affairs and his defenestrating of public health.

Tomorrow Hegseth will likely claim he has no idea who the actual Secretary of Defense is, and Trump will probably try to say it’s Biden.
Also, a good reminder that, while badly damaged, rule of law norms still keep popping up to bite the would-be autocrats, contrary to what doomers keep saying.

Translation: Pete may well go down for this. But I’m not going with him.
Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?
Trump: I don’t know that happened and Pete said he did not even know what people were talking about. I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine.
