That is the language of a coup. Not a democracy.

Leading economists are agreed: Trump's Big Budget Buster bill contains a forecast that is in error by $11 trillion. finance.yahoo.com/news/the-11-...

Jason Smith shuts down Gomez as Gomez tells Bessent, "I think you don't care because your net worth is $521 million"

She's such a hypocrite.

Plaskett to Bessent: "Excuse me. Let me get something straight with you. I've seen you interrupt everyone. When you come to someone's house, you respect their rules. And in this house, we don't interrupt individuals. And you're not going to interrupt my time."

This is it. This is the ball game. DoD does not have a role in enforcing the law.

<thread> Hegseth expands Guard's orders dramatically today Declaration by California Military Department (CMD) Deputy GC: "CMD was informed ... Guard units would be providing support for counter-immigration operations across Los Angeles, in communities during immigration enforcement operations..."

LAWSKY: I see a lot of folks hoping Abrego Garcia will sue Bondi for defamation. I don’t think he can sue her for defamation, but if she drops the charges, I think maybe he can sue for false arrest. Do I have that right? Thanks!

Turns out running a council is more than just screaming "Stop the boats".

During their Oval Office visit, Merz gives Trump a copy of his grandfather's birth certificate from Kallstadt in Bavaria. But he doesn't give Trump a copy of the decree of Feb 27, 1907 signed by Prince Regent Luitpold in which his grandfather was ordered deported from Bavaria as a moral degenerate.

Useful definitions to understand SCOTUS dockets and rulings

The claims that the Trump administration made to judges around the US about the Venezuelans it shipped off to a special concentration camp in El Salvador were knowing lies. And that should put a cloud over any claims the administration makes in law courts, or to the media, from now on.

CNN's line of questioning to Ed Markey about Trump's latest corrupt pardons is almost literally "but Hunter Biden"

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

Nice!

Way to admit you have to “persuade” women to sleep with you, MAGA.

Trump "invites" tech company execs to travel with him to Saudi and Qatar to show he's down with the techbros. Apple's Tim Cook declines. In other news: Trump puts 25% tariff on Apple products. Coincidence surely?

The longer it takes to release the Epstein files, the more trump stuff they're deleting.

The UM Club of DC hosted an event where I got to talk about LAWLESS with Steve Vladeck! And as you can tell we … had a good time 🤣😂😆 @stevevladeck.bsky.social I can’t promise the book alone will be QUITE as much fun, but IMHO it’s still a good time 😀 : bookshop.org/p/books/lawl...

Trump relies on MAGA being not just dumb but too lazy to check out his claims as well.

"You said there were no cuts to scientists, and then the HHS spox said, 'Actually, there were cuts to scientists and now we're trying to rehire them.' It gives the impression you're not sure about personnel actions in own agency." -- Jon Ossoff just dismantled FDA Commissioner Makary

@muellershewrote.com Seems Alito's only concern is the wellbeing of 5th Circ judgements, rather than irreparable harm being done to detainees denied DP. Him being Circuit Justice there might have something to do with it. His ego is getting an ouchie from the 7!
