As awful as things are right now, I think it's important to understand that there are more decent ppl than there are awful ppl. Don't let the awful ppl out of your sight don't stop calling them out but mostly don't let them think there's more of them than decent ppl.

I should get credit for not attending Jeff Bezo's wedding even though I wasn't invited.

If you complain about a 245% import tax on key parts of your supply chain, it’s because you’re both bad at business and really bad at politics.

Democratic House Rep. Greg Casar on Fox News pointing out Elon Musk's staggering conflicts of interest and the corruption of Donald Trump's administration is awesome.

He's a superstar in the making!

every person involved in this needs to be in prison

Few things make me livid when I see them online seeing parents proudly say they have no regrets after letting their child die of measles, a fully preventable disease, I lose it for a bit.

That’s child neglect.

CPS has taken Black kids for far less, and it’s infuriating to watch this go unchecked.

Statement from Elias Law Group Chair Marc Elias

“Elias Law Group will not be deterred from fighting for democracy in court. There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf."

ORDER On March 18, 2025, the Court ordered Defendants to provide by noon the following day specific information regarding flights carrying individuals subject to the Court's Temporary Restraining Orders issued three days before. See Minute Order of 3/18/25. Defendants instead filed a pleading shortly before the deadline seeking to stay the Order in large part on the ground that they were considering whether to invoke the state-secrets privilege. See ECF No. 37 (Stay Motion) at 3-4. Although skeptical of the applicability of such privilege, the Court granted Defendants another 24 hours either to release the information ordered or to invoke the privilege. See ECF No. 38 (Order). In an ex parte pleading delivered shortly after today's deadline, the Government again evaded its obligations. It submitted a six-paragraph declaration from the Acting Field Office Director for Enforcement and Removal Operations at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Harlingen, Texas, Field Office, the contents of which the Government has informed the Court may be disclosed. After four paragraphs of identifying information, he

repeated the same general information about the flights: "On March 15, 2025, two flights carrying aliens being removed under the AEA departed U.S. airspace before the Court's minute order of 7:25 PM EDT, and before the Court's oral statements during the hearing." Decl. of Robert L. Cerna, I 5. He then stated, "I understand that Cabinet Secretaries are currently actively considering whether to invoke the state secrets privilege over the other facts requested by the Court's order. Doing so is a serious matter that requires careful consideration of national security and foreign relations, and it cannot properly be undertaken in just 24 hours." Id., 16 (emphasis added). This is woefully insufficient. To begin, the Government cannot proffer a regional ICE official to attest to Cabinet-level discussions of the state-secrets privilege; indeed, his declaration on that point, not surprisingly, is based solely on his unsubstantiated "understand[ing]." Although its skepticism concerning the suitability of such privilege expressed in yesterday's Order remains, the Court at a minimum requires an official with direct involvement to swear that deliberations of the privilege's invocation are ongoing at the level Cerna attests. It further expects such deliberations to be concluded by March 25, 2025, which only exceedingly good cause may excuse. In addition, to avoid further delay, the Court will require Defendants to show cause on the facts that they have already disclosed as to why the failure to return the class members aboard the two earliest planes did not violate the Court's Temporary Restraining Orders. Further supplementation may be required once particulars are ultimately disclosed. The Court, accordingly, ORDERS that:

1. By March 21, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., Defendants shall submit a sworn declaration by a person with direct involvement in the Cabinet-level discussions regarding invocation of the state-secrets privilege; 2. By March 25, 2025, Defendants shall submit a declaration indicating whether or not the Government is invoking the privilege; 3. By March 25, 2025, Defendants shall file a brief showing cause why they did not violate the Court's Temporary Restraining Orders by failing to return class members removed from the United States on the two earliest planes that departed on March 15, 2025; and 4. Plaintiffs may file any response to such brief by March 31, 2025. Is/ James E. Boasberg JAMES E. BOASBERG United States District Judge

NEW: Judge Boasberg issues a show-cause order (precedes contempt sanctions) on why he shouldn't find that the gov't defied his orders.

That is exactly true.

What a wonderful idea…👇

Watching the government try to provoke the black community and us not falling for it is my favorite song

Tadaa.

The next Canadian Prime Minister should appoint Trudeau as Ambassador to the United States.

THIS is how administrators need to respond to the bigoted jawboning of the administration: a very very polite but quite clear FOAD.

Exactly!!!!👇🏻

NEW: A source tells me that response teams for FEMA set to deploy to the South Carolina wildfires are unable to travel because their government issued travel cards have had their limits reduced to $1. FEMA response team cards were supposed to be exempt.

Happy Third Graders Day, Minnesota!

This is the most dangerous move yet The canary is gasping for air

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

This. Also. @aoc.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social et al , can you do what ever you guys do in the House to let Musk, Trump and everyone know that the UCFE, which funds unemployment benefits , is in the Dept of Labor. If these funds are cut, the cost will fall on the states.
