Q: “What's your message to the 170 or so U.S. citizens who have been detained by ICE, about 20 of them are children?”
Johnson: “I don't know what you're talking about with the children…I haven't seen that, so I'm not going to comment on it.”

How the Supreme Court could aid the GOP's redistricting games
If the court rules quickly enough in a key voting rights case, it could allow yet another round of partisan redistricting before the 2026 midterms.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.
I am not fearful — I am fearless.
We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.
Bondi claims that the ICEBlock app was "criminal in that people were posting where ICE officers lived"

I really appreciated speaking in depth with @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social about Venezuelan boat strike, what the law allows, and what comes next.
Important for concerns about Forever Wars, those who care about deportation without due process and killing suspects without a trial.

Really excellent explanation by Ryan Goodman of the legal justifications (or rather the lack thereof) of Trump’s boat strike, and of some the (chilling) further implications. An important conversation, I thought, if not a cheering one.

Much of Trump's authoritarian power grab has been green-lit (at least temporarily) by the Supreme Court's "shadow docket."
This allows justices to effectively make rulings in secret without explaining their decisions.
Is it any wonder why so many do not trust the Roberts court?
