![[UPDATE, 4:45 p.m.: Judge Paula Xinis issued an order shortly after the hearing, finding that “the Defendants have failed to comply with this Court’s Order“ from Thursday night.
As to the basic questions about Abrego Garcia’s whereabouts and the Trump administration’s previous efforts under her order to facilitate his return, Xinis noted, “Defendants’ counsel responded that he could not answer these questions, and at times suggested that Defendants had withheld such information from him.”
As discussed at the hearing, Xinis accordingly has ordered that “beginning April 12, 2025, and continuing each day thereafter until further order of the Court, Defendants shall file daily, on or before 5:00 PM ET, a declaration made by an individual with personal knowledge as to any information regarding: (1) the current physical location and custodial status of Abrego Garcia; (2) what steps, if any, Defendants have taken to facilitate his immediate return to the United States; (3) what additional steps Defendants will take, and when, to facilitate his return.”
The next hearing in the case is set for 4 p.m. Tuesday. Abrego Garcia’s lawyers are invited to request any additional relief in a filing due by 5 p.m. Saturday, and the government’s response is due by 5 p.m. Sunday.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreihwpkbndu6ms73vygkscfkuflt3srojbo3pivnavxknusekmkhohq@jpeg)

NOW: According to Trump the Great Depression would have never happened if we had tariffs in 1929. WE DID!
AND worse, President Hoover signed the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act into law in 1930, which raised import duties by an average of 20%.

Okay, let's keep going. Got another one today looking at just how absolutely fucking crazy it is that an inexperienced Musk-lackey is apparently pushing untested live code to America's checkbook. Tried to contextualize all of it.
