The only thing that happened between Thursday-Costa Rica-and Friday-Uganda- was Mr. Abrego's exercise of his legal entitlement to release under the Bail Reform Act and the Fifth Amendment. See United States v. Salerno, 481 U.S. 739, 755 (1987). Indeed, the government has done more than just offer these two options in isolation. On Friday evening, the government informed Mr. Abrego that he has until first thing Monday morning precisely when he must report to ICE's Baltimore Field Office-to accept a plea in exchange for deportation to Costa Rica, or else that offer will be off the table forever. There can be only one interpretation of these events: the DOJ, DHS, and ICE are using their collective powers to force Mr. Abrego to choose between a guilty plea followed by relative safety, or rendition to Uganda, where his safety and liberty would be under threat.

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

Everything going on in LA is a test run to find an excuse to declare an emergency and suspend the 2026 midterms in blue states

I just think there needs to be more attention paid to the uniquely creepy, mendacious, awfulness of Speaker Mike Johnson. Don’t underestimate the depth of his ambition and breadth of what he is willing to do to never return to Shreveport.

Is anyone else uncomfortable with the amount of blinking going on here?

So eugenics. We're doing eugenics again.

Not a slowdown. A meltdown

Trump killed this Queen

Why did Tommy Tuberville vote in Florida if he lived in Alabama? Election records show Tuberville voted in Florida after he says a homestead exemption puts his residency in Alabama.

Ironically, this is Big Pharma's wet dream. Rather than a preventative vaccine that costs a few dollars a dose twice a lifetime, they can sell expensive new in-patent drugs for hundreds a dose that you need to keep taking.

Best sign from yesterday.

Lots of people I know that were furious about kids having to wear masks are real quiet about a two year old citizen being wrongfully deported

Anyone else here jump into the thread to see if Rick was being a snide prick or if Sam Diego was on fire?

It was a coin flip

All we need are a few spines from the GOP. I wish I had a job that was so important that I'd refuse to stand up for myself, not to mention my constituents

My dad is 98, WWII USNavy Veteran. Showed up for democracy in San Diego today. "I fought for it once, I'll fight for it again!" 💙🇺🇸💙 THIS is what democracy looks like!!!!

I would like to personally thank the NRA for living up to their promise and standing up against an authoritarian despot who is actively stripping away American freedoms.

This summer is going to be fucking wild.

Holy shit. Video posted by President Bukele’s team on X shows the moments before his press conference with Trump in which Trump tells him: “We want to do homegrown criminals next. You gotta build about five more places.”

I will pay a journalist $100 if they manage to get an answer from Trump on whether there's a danger in his levying further tariffs on Wakanda if they don't begin fairly trading vibranium with the US.
