Trump promised peace through strength and all we got is new and escalating wars through weakness.
But I have every confidence he will issue more very stern warnings on Truth Social to solve everything.

Sen. Mark Kelly: "What happened today to Sen. Padilla was outrageous. It was violent. It's a scary thing to see happen in the United States of America...The Trump administration has arrested a mayor, a member of congress, and a labor leader...That is not who we are as a country."

This devastating Substack post by Georgetown Law Professor @stevevladeck.bsky.social ought to cause Samuel Alito discomfort whenever he sees the word “Justice” in front of his name. He doesn’t deserve what that honorific implies.
Today’s “One First” takes a (very) deep dive into Justice Alito’s Saturday night dissent in the A.A.R.P. Alien Enemy Act case—and how it attempts to invent a series of procedural objections to the majority’s intervention that … simply don’t exist:

145. Justice Alito's Misbegotten Dissent in A.A.R.P.
Justice Alito's after-the-fact opinion dissenting from the Court's early-Saturday-morning Alien Enemy Act ruling rests on a revealing array of misrepresentations, misstatements, and non-sequiturs.

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read.
He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords

Either the courts get to decide who is a “violent criminal” or “gang member”, or Donald Trump gets to decide.
That choice determines whether we are a Republic governed by laws or an autocracy living under a ruler.

If anything, cutting a deal with Trump instead of challenging his absurd executive orders gives the big law firms *less* leverage: now they're entangled with the administration in addition to being targeted by it.

Trump is making noise about being president for a third, and unconstitutional, term. He claims he has a “method” that would allow it. I take a deep dive into that claim in today’s piece. Link: open.substack.com/pub/statusku...

And if there were a mass-violation exception to the Constitution, why have a constitutional at all?

According to MAGA, if you hit a car with a baseball bat because you don’t like the company’s owner you’re a “terrorist”, but if you hit a Capitol police officer with a baseball bat because you don’t like the results of an election, you’re a “patriot.”

The president is asserting an unreviewable power to seize any person off the street and ship him to a dungeon abroad. Nobody can say this is an overreaction or alarmism or "TDS" when this is literally what the administration is doing right now.

By shipping men to a Salvadoran prison without due process, the Trump administration has begun defying court orders in earnest.
