It’s really all we should be talking about today.
There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

The Supreme Court derives its power from its legitimacy. It earns its legitimacy by explaining its decisions. The endless stream of wholly unexplained orders in favor of the Trump administration is not just indefensible—it's a threat to the court's own long-term power. This reeks of illegitimacy.
Since April 4, #SCOTUS has issued 15 rulings on 17 emergency applications filed by Trump (three birthright citizenship apps were consolidated).
It has granted relief to Trump ... in all 15 rulings.
It has written majority opinions in only 3.
Today's order is the 7th with no explanation *at all.*

Here we go again: Over an acerbic dissenting opinion by Justice Sotomayor (joined in full by Justices Kagan and Jackson), #SCOTUS, with no explanation, grants a stay in the Department of Education RIFs case—effectively clearing the way for the Trump administration to dismantle much of the agency:

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

TPM’s @hunterw.bsky.social makes a convincing case - citing experts - that we should be referring to CECOT as a “concentration camp,” “penal colony,” or “permanent prison camp.”
Based on its features (no due process, indefinite detention) he says: “President Trump is sending people to the camps.”

The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0.

This is a lie. Here's how Mr. Abrego gets back.
1. Bukele releases him from CECOT.
2. The US gives him humanitarian parole as part of the court order requiring them to facilitate his return.
3. His family buys him a plane ticket.
4. He flies home.
