why would anyone trust anything we say? Trump lies as he breathes so they can't make agreements with that
So the USA now completely steps back from the Budapest Memorandum from 1994 where it provided "security guarantees" to Ukraine in exchange for, among other things, Ukraine's nuclear disarmament . USA has lost all its credibility as a reliable partner.

Truth.
Donald Trump turned due process into a four year circus and then as President decided others weren’t worthy of it.

someone definitely thinks they are above the law but it's not the judges. tge judges are trying to uphold our due process and other laws
No attorney general should ever speak like this. She's Trump's advocate, not the people's lawyer, which is what the AG's job is. Whatever state she is barred in should start disciplinary proceedings immediately. This isn't subtle or arguable, it's wrong.

Apart from the fact that US Attorneys have no business in trying to intimidate academic journals, why the acting US Attorney for *Washington DC* is going after a journal based in Massachusetts suggests he has some confusion about jurisdiction.

Arresting judges cannot be the new normal in America. I’m deeply concerned by the lack of information and partisan tone surrounding this news, and I trust my Republican colleagues will agree. It’s incumbent on all of us to uphold and protect the constitution.

Fox "News" has been straight up lying about a lot of things for two decades now. The also lie by hiding a lot of newsworthy truths that are just never mentioned there.
Fox News has resorted to just straight up lying about Abrego Garcia, who has never been convicted or even charged with a crime

omg
Essentially using a Sharpie to draw a gang tattoo on a picture of Abrego Garcia.
Trump fabricates a photo of Mr. Garcia with MS-13 tattoo on his hand. This is NOT a real image. Trump and his regime fabricated it. Please understand that Trump regime would fabricate evidence to put you or your family in jail. This is what FASCISM regimes do. www.mediaite.com/trump/trump-...

It's probably too eloquent for Trump to understand
"The relief the government is requesting is both extraordinary and premature. While we fully respect the Executive’s robust assertion of its Article II powers, we shall not micromanage the efforts of a fine district judge attempting to implement the Supreme Court’s recent decision."
“The Executive may succeed for a time in weakening the courts, but over time history will script the tragic gap between what was and all that might have been, and law in time will sign its epitaph.” - Judge Wilkinson www.muellershewrote.com/p/how-a-judg...

Hegseth is now without a chief of staff, a deputy chief of staff and a senior advisor, less than 100 days into his tenure. A "senior defense official" suggested he made poor choices for who to trust in his inner circle, with another saying there would likely be more "chaos" to follow soon.

He wants people loyal to him who don't know anything so they will Implement whatever he wants
So today:
- Trump says he’s “just giving you what they handed me” about Abrego Garcia.
- We learn Trump didn’t know Musk picked the IRS head.
- It’s reported that they didn’t mean to go to war with Harvard.
Perhaps staffing a White House with unqualified loyalists isn’t a great approach.

He doesn't care about intelligence. He doesn't use intelligence
As you read about SCOTUS blocking some deportations, make sure you read this piece on how the IC debunked Trump's claim that Venezuela is behind Tren de Aragua. That undermines the entire premise of Trump's AEA invocation (even before the "invasion" claim).

JD Vance's arguments on Abrego Garcia are collapsing. His latest absurdity reveals that he knows the admin has the option of returning him and retrying him for removal in a lawful way. So why not do that? He won't say.
