DHS Official quote tweeting a paid Russian propagandist.
By amplifying this post calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist,” the Trump administration just violated the court order that they reference.

Oh my fucking god I just saw an ad with a voiceover from trump talking about his imaginary healthcare plan that says “thank trump for taking on big insurance” while everyone just saw their ACA bill go up $2,000 because republicans won’t extend the subsidies. The fucking nerve.

To recap:
*The Trump administration illegally renamed the Kennedy Center. They broke the law.
*Now they are suing a guy who refused to perform because of the name change for $1 million.

This piece is a great illustration of how the long-term effect of Trump’s destruction of US institutions won’t be felt in a dramatic market collapse, but rather in permanently worse economic conditions, and lower prosperity.

For those not following at home, “Heritage American” is a category of white supremacy covering people whose ancestors were white folks who were pioneers.

Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.

There are only two offenses the Constitution goes out of its way to specifically say merit impeachment, and this is one of them.
GOP operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, convicted election fraudsters, were paid $960,000 in the second quarter to secure a pardon for a former nursing-home operator who defrauded the government of $38 million. Trump pardoned the man, Joseph Schwartz, last month.
Inside the New Fast Track to a Presidential Pardon
Even some of the president’s closest advisers have been surprised by a number of the recent series of pardons.

is it a coincidence that 2 key countries in Trump’s crosshairs are Venezuela, with the world’s largest known oil reserves, and Nigeria, the top oil producer in Africa?
Trump says he ordered strikes on ISIS targets in Nigeria
The president said numerous strikes were conducted against alleged Islamic State terrorists whom he accused of targeting Christians in northwest Nigeria.

NYT provides no evidence here, probably because the claim is flatly untrue. See eg recent Pew data, or many posts on the subject from @gelliottmorris.com this year

The President of the United States is very seriously mentally ill, and elected Republicans are so afraid of him that they won’t do or say anything about it.

In a profile of Stephen Miller with @swin24.bsky.social, we reported he’s privately laughed off immigrant families’ “sob stories.”

Speaking last night on Fox about the spiked CECOT story, Miller laughed about how ‘60 Minutes’ is “trying to tell sob stories."

Again, the same Muskworld guy who told me in October that Musk was planning a shadow presidency reached out a month ago to say “Okay, yeah, confirmed that Musk nailed Miller’s wife”
I want to stress, also, how when we approached the Trump White House with a lengthy comment request on our findings, the only things they disputed - among the batch of lawless, titanically rancid shit - were a) Stephen miller was NOT regularly made fun of by his former GOP Hill colleagues…

A Christmas week legal miracle--one that those of all faiths can enjoy:

Trump's targeting of our client @markzaidesq.bsky.social incl pulling his security clearance was enjoined as unconstitutional retaliation

A great win for him, for us @democracydefendersfund.org & for the superstar legal team👇

I have the “In Covid’s Wake” PDF and this section floored me. Here is some of the surrounding content — and citations. The professors cited laundered Twitter Files claims in their discussion of the Murthy v Missouri case — they stuck the *outcome of the case* in a footnote while centering the lies.
