NEW: In this evening’s emergency hearing, DOJ lawyer Drew Ensign told Judge Boasberg that no Alien Enemies Act deportation flights will take place tonight, and β€œpeople he spoke with”are unaware of any plans for flights tomorrow.

Of course, Judge Boasberg was highly skeptical of Ensign’s…

My name is Ben and I have autism.
I’m not less than anyone else I just see
the world differently. Lately I’ve been
working on losing weight by walking.
I walked 5 miles yesterday. It’s also

enjoy the outdoors and the scenery.

Van Hollen: I should also just say, I mentioned the fake margarita, they actually wanted to have the meeting by the side of the pool in the hotel. They want to create this appearance that life was just lovely for Kilmar. Which of course is a big, fat lie.

I’ve been suggesting on TV and podcastsβ€”without actual evidence(!)β€”that it may turn out that DOJ will wind up not having enough lawyers to defend all the lawsuits challenging this administration’s illegal conduct.

Turns out it seems already to be true. πŸ‘‰

Republicans are too chickenshit to hold town halls. Shocker.

Here’s an idea: Democrats, hold town halls in Republican districts.

The Instincts of an Arsonist Sensible leaders understand their job is to put out fires. One man only wants to watch everything burn.

For some reason, it seems important to recall this:

"He delights in seeing things burn. He likes destruction. Fixing things is hard; destroying them is much easier."

"Finding solutions...demands expertise, interest, a desire to learn and make things better."

Given the toxic swirl of narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that has enveloped the country, I’ve never been more pessimistic about its future.

And it’s not even about FFOTUS. He could choke on a cheeseburger tomorrowβ€”a fate no cheeseburger would deserveβ€”and I’d feel the same way.
