Vladimir Putin wants to force Ukraine to abandon its strategically critical “fortress belt”. For many Ukrainians, giving up this area without a fight would be tantamount to capitulation

You said that we have never seen people grabbing people off the street and not identify themselves but the Portland BLM Protests found people being grabbed off the street by people who were not showing ID. It scared me then and I didn't understand why we didn't stop it then.
Top Senate Democrats are urging Republicans to back away from changes to social safety net programs as the GOP prepares to bring Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” to the floor next week.
Lisa, on the National Guard deployment, can they raise the issue that both Noem and Trump suggested the real reason for sending troops was to depose our elected officials and gutting Democrats?

Love your show every day. But why don’t you all just talk about what musk really did?? He stole all of the countries data. All of our data for his AI computer. That’s what he did. Now he went on his merry way with trumps blessing on lying and stealing.
Qatar may have in mind that when they passed on funding Kushner's overpriced building at 666 Fifth Ave, suddenly Saudi Arabia and the UAE put a blockade on Qatar. When Qatar financed the building, the blockade went away.
500K Mexican-Americans served in the U.S. armed forces in WWII, as did millions of 1st and 2nd-gen immigrants, and 109K noncitizens. Mexican immigrant Macario Garcia won the Medal of Honor in Normandy. When he returned to the US, he was was arrested for trying to eat at a segregated restaurant.
The Trump administration has settled on One Weird Trick to avoid judicial review: Kill nationwide injunctions, refuse to respect lower court rulings, and keep cases away from the Supreme Court indefinitely. Oddly, it was Kagan and BARRETT who hammered this yesterday. slate.com/news-and-pol...
They should at least say we aren't at war or in aninvasion.
The 7-justice majority emphasizes that they are not deciding if Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act is legal. But they do make clear that HOW the Trump admin was trying to USE the law WAS illegal - a very clear violation of due process. They remand to the 5th Circuit to develop a new test.
The Supreme Court recites the facts about what happened in detail, making clear that the government was about to deport hundreds of people to El Salvador without ANY real opportunity to file habeas corpus lawsuits in challenge, a direct violation of their previous order - and mentions Abrego Garcia.
![We understood the Government to assert the right to remove the detainees as soon as midnight central time on April 19. The Government addressed the detainees’ allegations on April 18 only at an evening hearing before the District Court for the District of Columbia, where the detainees had separately sought relief. The Government guaranteed that no putative class members would be removed that day. Tr. of Proceedings in J. G. G. v. Trump, No. 25−cv−766, ECF Doc. 93, p. 9. But it further represented that, in its view, removal of putative class members as soon as the next day “would be consistent with” its due process obligations, and it “reserve[d] the right” to take such action. Id., at 26; see id., at 16 (explanation by the court that “tomorrow . . . starts at 12:01 a.m.”). Evidence now in the record (although not all before us on April 18) suggests that the Government had in fact taken steps on the afternoon of April 18 toward removing detainees under the AEA—including transporting them from their detention facility to an airport and later returning them to the facility. See Supp. App. to Reply 1a−5a. Had the detainees been removed from the United States to the custody of a foreign sovereign on April 19, the Government may have argued, as it has previously argued, that no U. S. court had jurisdiction to order relief. See Application To Vacate Injunction in Noem v. Abrego Garcia, No. 24A949 (Apr. 7, 2025), pp. 11−20.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreiheenywehgdn44vephcsrlhamh2jzjuzuc7axbuq6axiz37kzdrui@jpeg "Click to view full size")
The Supreme Court also rebukes Judge Hendrix in the Western District of Texas and the Fifth Circuit for refusing to act on the ACLU's emergency request, emphasizing that the facts on the ground showed that planes were set to take off -- thus making Judge Hendrix' failure to act an appealable order.
The Supreme Court makes clear AGAIN that the Trump administration cannot throw people onto plane with little to no notice. Those subject to the Alien Enemies Act MUST be given given time to contact a lawyer, file a habeas lawsuit, and pursue the case. Anything less is illegal.
HUGE. A direct rebuke to the Trump administration's practice of shoving people onto planes: "Under these circumstances, notice roughly 24 hours before removal, devoid of information about how to exercise due process rights to contest that removal, surely does not pass muster."
BREAKING: The Supreme Court holds that the Trump administration violated the due process rights of Venezuelan migrants last month in its rushed effort to expel them to El Salvador in the middle of the night (which SCOTUS blocked). Alito and Thomas dissent. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...
Because if she disappears, how will anyone know where she is? This is real. This is happening. And there is no acceptable scenario where “law enforcement” hides behind masks, unidentified. If you’re following the law, what are you hiding? And don’t forget—there’s fake ICE out there too. -end-
What’s supposed to happen? If my daughter is out and masked men grab her, claiming they’re ICE, drag her away w/out letting her prove she’s a citizen… w/out calling me, her dad… what is she supposed to do? Does she not have the right to fight back, as we have taught her, to free herself. Run? 1.

I caught up on this episode I missed and may save it a while. Opening on the Oath almost made me cry. I took a similar Gov Oath too and remember it distinctly because the hair rose up on the back of my neck. I swore to protect the Constitution and still want to keep that Oath.

No. It's for his Presidential Library? The one that will apparently fly around and have no books? That he did nothing to build in his 4 years out of office?
Why? There is no emergency. Trump clams border crossings are down. This is an assault on America.
The Supreme Court needs to start holding the Trump officials who follow illegal orders accountable. PUT THEM IN JAIL FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT. If you haven't written to your representatives... www.republicanleader.senate.gov/senate-resou... Do that, and also write to the leaders of the majority.
This is nuts. Trump White House proclaimed on April 28 that it “achieved” “border security.” So there’s no invasion and no emergency. This is just a fascistic power grab.
The amount of Russian soldiers in this picture is how many are killed or wounded every three days

They are obviously slow learners
Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory
Maybe Trump is so anxious to attack China because he is jealous that XI and Putin got close over Ukraine.
Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.
They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

A disgraced former Milwaukee cop with credibility issues helped seal the fate of a gay Venezuelan makeup artist sent to El Salvador's notorious prison. Cross was fired from his position as a Milwaukee Police Sergeant in 2012 after driving his car into a family’s home while intoxicated.
I was a social security recipient from the age of 12 through 18. That’s not some weird thing or corruption. It’s called survivors’ benefits. You don’t have to know this. You’re blessed if you don’t. But if you’re going to speak publicly abt the program you need to know this.
Letterman for Pres!
Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.
In most societies, the rich and powerful acceded to the rule of law solely because they realized that, as soon as ordinary people feel they’re getting screwed without any chance of peaceful redress, that’s when you get the pitchfork-wielding mobs.
MAGA: Violent rapists have no place in this country. Also MAGA: Cry harder. He’s your president.
The effects of this is going to be felt every time you shop for almost anything very soon. Unless, of course, Trump chickens out and backs down again.
Is Jesse's masculinity expressed by lying on FOX? Or letting the air out of women's tires?
