Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

we're doing capital controls now?

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends. We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over. We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

I am happily surprised that 3 conservative supreme court justices raised objections against Trump's absurd "emergency" tariffs. let me once again go through the main arguments: 1. There is no emergency, only a trade deficit that the US has had for decades = no change. /1

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

I'm grateful to @60minutes.bsky.social featuring our study published @justsecurity.org. Link to the study (on the 'presumption of regularity'): www.justsecurity.org/120547/presu...

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

Finally came across video of an arrest at a #NoKings event yesterday. 🙄

Mike Johnson: "They berated a Capitol police officer, screamed at him. He was merely standing his post. It shows, again, their disdain for law enforcement, the Democrats, screaming, assaulting officers."

The new Supreme Court term starts today, meaning that -- in a novel twist -- the justices will hear oral arguments in some cases before they issue rulings that actually explain what they are doing.

EXCLUSIVE: The number of people charged with breaking federal drug laws dropped to the lowest level in decades this year after the Trump administration ordered enforcement agencies to focus on deporting immigrants, a @reuters.com review of court dockets found. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school. Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families? My own colleagues are silent.

Trump goes to the Smithsonian "why nothing about the Future?" *bans climate change exhibits*

Trump says the -818k 2024 benchmark payroll revisions show BLS commissioner McEntarfer was political and incompetent. Let’s look at the facts. 1. The revisions were released in Aug 2024, not Nov 15 as the president said. So the BLS release showing far less job growth came 3 mos. BEFORE the election

Just to reiterate: What this administration is doing right now is orders of magnitude more dangerous for academic freedom and free speech than anything the right has spent the last 30 years complaining about.

Now seems the time to repost this big story we did a few years ago... www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

SCOTUS just stripped judges' power to stop unconstitutional orders nationwide in a move KBJ calls "an existential threat to the rule of law" The Court has chosen a side, and it isn't the rule of law. Lower courts can't protect the Constitution because the Supreme Court won't let them.

Since May: Federal district courts have ruled against Trump admin 94% of the time. Supreme Court has sided with the Trump admin 94% of the time. A judiciary at war with itself.

NEWS: Kenneth Chesebro, "architect" of the 2020 fake electors plot who pleaded to criminal charges in Georgia, has been disbarred from the practice of law in New York, per order issued today by New York appellate court.

I'm going to try and communicate with my Republican colleagues in a new way.

As much as I covered Biden, we never had such blatant disregard of basic truth presented on the global stage with NO follow up from the US media The int media is LAUGHING. Really, laughing.. all of them. Gov officials too

"no legal authority" "unconscionable" "soaked in animus & dripping with pretext" "unabashedly demeaning" "impermissible retaliation" "disingenuous" "brazenly claiming" "conscious flouting" "disaster" "manufacturing the very chaos they decry" "patently unconstitutional" "callous" "irreparable harm"

Last year, reporters sent a letter to Chief Justice John Roberts, asking him to consider live-streaming the audio of the court’s opinion announcements. They did not receive a response to the letter. It is now being publicly released.

Welp...Facebook deleted me. Here's what little I know. sethandrews.substack.com/p/facebook-d...

They're literally doing the meme

NEW: Thursday, June 5, will be an opinion day at the Supreme Court.

2025 is also the 250th anniversary of the US Navy and the US Marine Corps - but their founding dates don't coincide with El Jefe Maximo's birthday party, so no parade for them.

A headline that will come back to haunt them.

it’s not easy being king

No country in the world will take the US seriously as long as a completely ignorant liar is president.

The Plan 1) Economic sneak attack on allies and partners. 2) Threaten to invade Danish territory and to annex Canada. 3) Sell out Ukraine to Putin, wreck NATO. 4) Permanent 10% tariff on former friends. 5) Surprise and hurt that nobody wants to help Trump find a face-saving exit

NEW: Marko Elez is back in govt (and has been for weeks); Amy Gleason’s job is to recommend DOGE detailees to agencies (who can say no), Luke Farritor has access to 12 sensitive databases. New details on DOGE in Saturday court filing. w/ @joshgerstein.bsky.social t.co/XPpopMEndd

It feels so surreal as an American to hear about Green Card holders asking relatives of mine to delete text exchanges on their phones for fear that they'll be searched by the authorities and those private conversations will become the pretext for illegally deporting them. But here we are.

I’ve now watched this clip like 10 times and it’s instant first ballot hall of fame. One of the most comically out of touch things I’ve ever heard heard from a public official.

LOL

1/🧵 Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative). This isn't partisan opposition to Trump—it's the judiciary functioning as intended by cutting across partisan lines to uphold the Constitution.

Trump’s commerce secretary Howard Lutnick says if Social Security skipped a check, his mother-in-law wouldn’t complain—and if you would, it indicates you are probably a fraudster. Insane.

"I don't care what the judges think" should be grounds for impeachment for any public official, but especially for key actors in the national security system.
