Trump is not in touch with reality.

Truly horrified by this order in way that is deeper and darker than I have felt over many truly awful merits decisions.

Shocking

Showdown Between Trump And The Courts Comes To A Head A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This...

Judge Boasberg remained measured despite a Trump DOJ that was giving him the runaround. President Trump’s defiance of Boasberg’s order blocking deportations under the Alien Enemies Act could turn out to be one of the defining stories of our time.

Again, this isn’t their “DEI” nonsense, it’s just racism. Pure and simple.

This isn’t even their “DEI” nonsense—it’s just straight-up racism.

The first sentence of the very next paragraph in that DC Circuit decision is: "The one question, whether the individual involved is or is not an alien enemy, is admitted by the Attorney General to be open to judicial determination."

This is such garbage. It’s not legal argument, it’s just “how dare you question us.”

weird thing about this framing is that this "personal best" is the second lowest for a president at this stage in their administration. the first is trump in his first term.

The big stakes here are not immigration law but the rule of law itself. At the same time the Alien Enemies Act was playing out, the Trump administration apparently deported a professor at Brown University’s medical school in direct contravention of a federal court blocking her expulsion.

You don't need open defiance of an explicit Supreme Court order to prove that an administration is lawless and tyrannical. The Founders would have impeached and removed Trump in the first week.

Inside the White House, officials discussed whether to order the planes to turn around. On advice from a team of administration lawyers, the administration pressed ahead. • "There was a discussion about how far the judge's ruling can go under the circumstances and over international waters and, on advice of counsel, we proceeded with deporting these thugs," the senior official said. • "They were already outside of US airspace. We believe the order is not applicable," a second senior administration official told Axios.

Ignoring a court order on the grounds that “ah-ah-ah, the law doesn’t apply once you get to international waters!!” is absolutely sanctionable. 8th grade-ass lawyering. Completely unserious.

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.

They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump is claiming dictatorial power, declaring in a social media post that the pardons issued by former President Biden are null and void—using lies as his justification.

Another stupid legal argument that’s just a cover for illegal actions. Trump is a criminal and a traitor.

This Court should declare that enough is enough before district courts' bur- geoning reliance on universal injunctions becomes further entrenched. The Court should stay the district courts' preliminary injunctions except as to the individual plaintiffs and the identified members of the organizational plaintiffs (and, if the Court concludes that States are proper litigants, as to individuals who are born or reside in those States). At a minimum, the Court should stay the injunctions to the extent they prohibit agencies from developing and issuing public guidance regarding the implementation of the Order. Only this Court's intervention can prevent universal injunctions from becoming universally acceptable.

BREAKING: DOJ takes Trump's effort to end birthright citizenship to SCOTUS, asking the justices to limit three existing nationwide injunctions to the plaintiffs in the cases — a move that would allow the admin to start implementing an EO that several courts have said is plainly unconstitutional.

Sen. Whitehouse tells me: "This entire predicament is the fault of President Trump and spineless Republicans who will not follow regular order and do bipartisan things in their quest to give him unbridled executive power"

Alsup is very smart and you do not want to make him unhappy by trying to put something over on him. Like the DOJ lawyers were trying to do.

Absolute 🔥🔥 from Sarah McBride: "We will not take a lecture on decorum from a party that incited an insurrection. I appear to live rent free in the minds of some of my Republican colleagues. The Republican Party is obsessed with culture war issues. It is weird and it is bizarre.”

I couldn't be happier that the Canadians are taking a stand for their freedom, their sovereignty and their way of life. But it is sad and shameful that we in the US have, for absolutely no reason, created a situation in which there is so much enmity toward us from our neighbors.

This is flatly illegal. The plain text of the law says that any person who works for any 501(c)(3) nonprofit is eligible. There is ZERO authority for limiting eligibility based on the work such nonprofit does. They WILL lose the lawsuit. Even so, this is making so many people’s lives harder.

“Women,” “female,” and “Black” are on the list but not “men,” “male,” or “white.”

Also can’t mention “injustice” or “oppression,” ironically enough. Down the memory hole.
