INCREDIBLE opinion by Wilkinson refusing to stay Judge Xinis's orders in the Abrego Garcia case, condemning DOJ's arguments as "shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear."

U.S. intelligence contradicts Trump’s justification for mass deportations
The determination is the most comprehensive assessment to date undercutting the president’s rationale for deporting suspected Tren de Aragua members without due process.

Criminals. 🤬
Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process.
This is not lawful.

Europe not messing around anymore with DT. France giving 200B to Ukraine and beefing up its own military.
1st you cut off Maxar satellite imagery, intel and weapons to Ukraine
Then Trump says he’ll “tune down” F-47 and other planes the US sells
Why would Europe buy from the US?
Now you “object”?

US officials object to European push to buy weapons locally
U.S. officials have told European allies they want them to keep buying American-made arms, amid recent moves by the European Union to limit U.S. manufacturers' participation in weapons tenders, five sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

Justice served. Right wing weakening here in France as Trump shows what could be in store. Au revoir Marine.
Every time an authoritarian con-artist is held accountable, every time the mask slips in a courtroom, the spell weakens.
It takes pressure. It takes a public that doesn't flinch when the volume gets turned up. It takes faith - not in the perfection of institutions, but in their potential.

Authoritarian Grift Meets the Grind of Justice
Marine Le Pen has been convicted of fraud, shattering the illusion of far-right immunity—and sending a warning shot to strongmen everywhere.

I should have organized one here in France, but I hope everyone gets out on Saturday. Be bold but be safe. 😎
If Senator Cory Booker can stand up for 24+ hours against Trump dismantling America, you can stand up for a couple hours this Saturday, 4/5, right?

Sanders: You have a president who is suing ABC and CBS and the Des Moines register. He is threatening to investigate PBS and NPR. He loves media that fawns on him.. If you cannot take the criticism, get the hell out of politics

“The DOGE Team is essentially engaged in a fishing expedition at SSA, in search of a fraud epidemic, based on little more than suspicion. It has launched a search for the proverbial needle in the haystack, without any concrete knowledge that the needle is actually in the haystack," Hollander said.
At some point all words fail when attempting to describe the insane, psychopathic, inhumane and profoundly evil statements and actions of Trump, Musk and the Republican Nazis. Calling these human monsters fucking assholes and so on doesn't even come close to responding to their foulness.
Commerce Secretary Lutnick’s plan to detect Social Security fraud:
“The easiest way..is to stop payments and listen, because whoever screams is the one stealing”
I guess the millions of Americans who need Social Security to pay for food and rent
Would just quietly stop eating and become homeless
