It's joke level stuff. You can lie all you want from the podium. In court they said his removal was an administrative error. They're lying.
The Trump administration still has not provided evidence of this —
Karoline Leavitt: "Abrego Garcia was a foreign terrorist. He is an MS-13 gang member. He was engaged in human trafficking."

Trump won’t be able to blame this on Obama or Biden. But he may still call the judge a far left lunatic.
BREAKING: A federal judge in Washington state, overseeing Shilling v. U.S., just blocked the anti-trans military ban nationwide.
Opinion from Judge Benjamin Settle, a George W. Bush appointee:

"This is some of the finest journalism I've read in the Trump era so far," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on @motherjones.com's reporting on the Trump admin deporting people to El Salvador, and in one case, over an autism awareness tattoo.

It was a good move to make Ukraine support voluntary. That way everyone who doesn’t want to be on board loses their veto and becomes irrelevant, as not at the table.
Big meeting of European leaders in Paris today.
Unlike previous such events EVERYONE is attending this time, with the notable exception of:
- Hungary and Slovakia (sorry Viktor)
- Austria and Switzerland (delusions of "neutrality")
- Malta (delusions of being an honest broker with Russia)

Blocked Justan and it felt really good.
If I had a dime for every response in this thread which is, hey they said Trump would be bad and they’ve been vindicated. Please just show yourselves out. That’s a different conversation and seriously get out more okay?

Stupid question, which Bernie rightly acknowledges as such. Karl, do better.
KARL: Would you like to see AOC join you in the Senate?
BERNIE SANDERS: Right now, we have just a whole lot of people in the Congress. Ok Jonathan, thanks.
*gets up*
KARL: Wait, I got one more--
SANDERS: You want to do nonsense, do nonsense. I don't want to talk about inside the Beltway stuff.

Hmmm. Last time I read the constitution, everyone is entitled to due process. My interpretation is that this covers angels and devils, & everyone in between.
Uh, I believe the point is to be better than the criminals.
KARL: Do they have any due process at all?
HOMAN: Due process -- what was Laken Riley's due process?
(That's a "no")

El Salvador: The new Guantanamo.
Rubio’s position seems to be:
- We get to say who is a terrorist. Our decision is final. It can’t be challenged. Just trust us.
- Once we decide you are a terrorist, we can immediately deport you. No judges.
- After we deport you, we can make you rot in a foreign prison. No criminal charges needed.

On Hugh Hewitt’s show, Marco Rubio says El Salvador is “housing” people sent by the US. But he never says on what possible legal authority? These people haven’t committed any crime in El Salvador and by their own admission “many” have never committed a crime in the US. It all seems entirely lawless.

Another bad day, with the US moving to autocracy, as demagogic machinations erode constitutional guardrails. Institutional enfeeblement, the weaponization of state apparatus, and a supine legislature portend a descent into illiberalism, imperiling America’s foundational precepts.

Invoking the archaic Alien Enemies Act of 1798, President Trump's precipitous deportation of Venezuelans to El Salvador's draconian Terrorism Confinement Center exemplifies an egregious abnegation of due process, consigning alleged malefactors to a carceral dystopia.

Cheering on Elon’s declining wealth is domestic terrorism? Now I’ve heard it all.
Oh dear
Fox News criticizes people celebrating Tesla's stock value decline because "there are 80,000 people employed by Tesla."

Musk & DOGE closed the specialist unit at Yale tracking down Ukrainian children kidnapped & stolen by Russia.
HOWEVER, it now emerges the entire database may have been DELETED, destroying years of research needed to find missing children.
If so, there should be arrests.

400 dead in Gaza. How many more?
We don’t think Trump is gonna get that Nobel Peace Prize after all. Israel resumed bombing Gaza, and Palestinians are saying more than 400 are dead. Wasn’t Trump going to end this?
Elon’s New Nickname
It’s Tuesday. There are 595 days until the midterm elections. Trump attacks Biden’s kids, Texas goes after women (some more) and a big day for selling out Ukraine.

I like that: “Wherever fascism emerges it takes on characteristics unique to the society and era but shares essential elements.” The same trunk with homegrown branches. And whichever term emerges as the standard, we know we are no longer in a place of democracy, freedom, and liberty.
Wherever fascism emerges it takes on characteristics unique to the society and era but shares essential elements. Hitler had the paramilitary brownshirts whereas trump has an online mob at his beck and call, both used to silence, intimidate and threaten critics and resistors.

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

I don’t really get how drug dealers or gang leaders are now “terrorists.” Terrorists main objectives are political while gangs main objective is money.

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

With Trump’s track record, a high likelihood that some or many are not gang members. But we may never know.
Understand that this El Salvador gulag deportation was done partly in order to make the fascist video that the president now transmits, with his fascist message. The cameras are all set up in advance.
