Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

I've been at DOJ for so many important speeches & presentations. Today, my heart is filled with sadness for my former colleagues & our country as a convicted felon who doesn't understand justice or the meaning of the rule of law & why both are essential to our democracy stands there.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

I watched Lawrence O’Donnell’s analysis on that conference and what he said confirmed my impression: Trump is Musk’s b*tch and not the other way around. Body language, clothing, the presence of the kid, & previous behavior all provide strong evidence supporting his analysis.

Some of you have inquired over on my Substack where you can find a list of all (organized in useful, searchable ways) the litigation over the Administration’s executive orders and other actions, since January 20,2025. A great tracker is at Just Security.

Pretty damn good framing for Dems

How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65

Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

We can’t say this enough: When people in Trump‘s orbit deliberately lie about how our constitutional democracy works, they violate the oaths they take to uphold the law. & they violate the trust the American people place in them.

A federal judge has just ordered Musk to get out of Treasury’s computers. We are fortunate there are good lawyers representing democracy. Normally that would end the matter, but in this era there are legit questions about compliance & enforcement. We live on the edge of a constitutional crisis.
