NEW: A group of activists have built an awesome new tool to help immigration attorneys and the general public know when an ICE flight is headed to their area. gillianbrockell.com/habeas-fligh...

The White House intervenes directly to direct that the Pentagon give a $620 mn deal to a company... which is owned by the president's son Don Trump Jr. Just an ordinary day at Hegseth's Pentagon.

They can't win and they know that but it's amazing to watch this many legal careers willingly thrown onto the bonfire of one special dipshit's vengeance

@cnn.com reports that Trump's DOJ is now criminally investigating E Jean Carroll over a mistaken answer she gave to a deposition in 2022 that both the District Judge & unanimous 2d Circuit found was benign. ... 1/2 www.cnn.com/2026/05/27/p...

Whoever authorized this or has any hand in it should go to prison. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/27/u...

A President ordering the Justice Department to criminally investigate a woman who won a sexual assault lawsuit against him makes Watergate look like an unpaid parking ticket.

There will be no true "justice" until the Department of Justice attorneys who engaged in this vindicitve prosecution are held appropriately accountable

Democrats should be saying anybody who takes this stolen money will see the government coming after them to claw it back.

In order to stay ahead of the curve here, I'd like to note that the U.S. has no grounds to invade Cuba, arrest or change its leaders, take control or directly influence its actions or, for that matter, to be blockading it right now forcing its people to suffer. Nor is any of that in our interest.

Biden's pardon of Saab was conditioned in him not returning to the US iirc. This should be an interesting motion to dismiss.

Turns out a Navy willing to execute civilians in boats in the Caribbean to produce snuff films for the president is a Navy willing to let the FBI director treat a tomb as a fun frolic

Todd Lyons is a reprehsible piece of shit and I hope he burns in hell. wapo.st/439XGwm

NEW: We've spent 10 months tracking the outcomes in tens of thousands of lawsuits brought by ICE detainees amid an unprecedented detention push. It's not a cose call: judges have ruled more than 10,000 times against ICE, a 9-1 ratio. See the database: www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

Anyone who signs off on this should go to prison.

Legal reminder: the courts have declined to recognize a federal reporters privilege that would allow WSJ to quash this thing. But, the courts have pushed back on the breadth of these subpoenas and the degree to which it was a matter of last resort.

I wrote about being inundated with AI writing at every turn, unwittingly turning my brain into the AI police, and how shitty AI writing is randomly showing up in my real life outside of the internet www.404media.co/your-ai-use-...

One does wonder just how much all that Hungarian filthy lucre running through Orban was subsidizing.

Very good reporting and interviewing from Sargent here

I’m not convinced the Democrats should have tried the age limit gambit in Virginia, but I am positive the Republicans are increasingly dropping any pretense of fairness or following laws when it comes to districting.

So, about the War Powers Resolution's 60-day clock and "hostilities" supposedly being terminated...

What do you call camps where people keep disappearing and dying

The Trump regime's desire for authoritarian domination is bottomless, but its capacity is not. In corrupting DOJ, changing it from a law enforcement org into a try to hurt people the president personally dislikes org, they've reduced their prosecutorial capacity to the point of desperation.

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

God damn this is a brutal read. Fuck Putin. wapo.st/4cNY7Cm

The assault charges are in keeping with a long history of state prosecutions of federal officers. Read more on that history here: statedemocracy.law.wisc.edu/our-work/can...

Despite the administration’s rhetoric and bogus legal theories, the supposed armed conflict with “narco-terrorists” appears to be entirely make believe. Murder is the general term for premeditated killing outside of armed conflict.

But the Pope is weak on crime.

Something like this will have to happen in this country once Trumpism is defeated. In the absence of accountability, the world will rightly assume that it will happen again.

Damning reporting on sexual assault allegations against Eric Swalwell.

NEW FOIA Files newsletter is out! On April 1, the DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel publicly released a bombshell 52-page opinion. It said that the Presidential Records Act is “unconstitutional” and that Trump “need not further comply with its dictates.” 🧵 www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
