No, Trump Voters Did Not Vote for This - emptywheel
Prominent Republicans want to -- correctly -- blame Stephen Miller for the lies he has told about immigration and the chaos that has erupted. Let them!

Turkin hard or hardly turkin?

Part 1/3 of a 10-panel SMBC comic update. Campaign aides are seen reacting to a situation - reporters found their candidate, Thompson having sex with a turkey. Again. At first they were cautiously optimistic, since there's no median-voter data on turkey-fucking. But then, the constituents turned out to be furious, as illustrated in a panel by someone posting online "Dammit, fucking a turkey just feed the narrative that he's a turkey fucker! #thompson2038" Part 2/3 of a 10-panel SMBC comic update. Surrogates went to talkshows for damage control. A panel shows the talkshow host saying that "what the working class are asking is why didn't the current administration f*** the turkey of inflation?" The following panel shows that damage control went better on podcasts. The podcast host says "You got people out here, who are judging this man purely based on his character, statements and actions, I mean, grow up!" with his co-host replying "wow, that is so real, bro." A third panel shows that the opposition admittedly had a solid case, showing a woman repetitively insisting that "he's a turkey-fucker," while also mimicking the action with her hands. Part 3/3 of a 10-panel SMBC comic update. The narration keeps going, saying that happily, due to decades of partisanship, the truth was received by supporters as wicked propaganda. This point is illustrated with another person posting vehemently that the other party are hypocrites to social media. The narration underlines that within 24 hours, the news had moved on from the turkey-fucker news, in this case, moved on to be cruel towards trans people. Once Thompson won the election, they refuse to answer any question regarding the "menage à turkey" because "elections have consequences." The final panel of the comic shows a character wondering if tearing moral character away from power will ultimately rip apart the fabric of state. Another characters replies that if so, they'll get amazing book deals.

There's ample evidence that Trump/Miller saw Abrego Garcia as a test for the broader MAGA project. Miller hopes to carve out power for Trump to remove people with zero legal constraints. JD Vance's dishonesty has been reprehensible. It all now looks even worse. 4/

"Does [Halligan] get an infinite number of shots at James before an infinite number of grand juries?

The legal answer to this question is apparently that she does. But the assumptions behind that toleration all seem pretty flawed in the current context," writes @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org.

Sean Hecker, Kilmar's attorney, once hailed how much courage it took Kilmar to challenge what DOJ/DHS is doing to him. That stuck with me. Kilmar Abrego is just some guy, vulnerable in a way most of us are not.

But he has taken on Trump and ... thus far at least, prevailed.

"Today’s ruling is a powerful affirmation that the rule of law still matters," Sandoval-Moshenberg said. "The Court made … clear that the govt cannot detain a person indefinitely without legal authority, and that every agency involved must now comply fully and promptly with the Court’s directives."
Kilmar Abrego Garcia is released from ICE custody following judge's order
Judge Paula Xinis of the U.S. District Court in Maryland ruled that the Trump administration lacked the legal authority to continue holding Abrego.

T-Rex: They're painting DEER on the WALLS instead of hunting and gathering with their families! T-Rex: I don't know what to do. I tell them "stop painting deer" and you know what they do? They paint a really stupid-looking deer - seriously, the worst deer you can imagine, a full-on baloney deer - and then they call me into the cave and point at it and say "look, that's you." Dromiceiomimus: Can you see the painting clearly? Isn't it dark? T-Rex: THEY HAVE TORCHES! This is a diss that takes PLANNING and like, INFRASTRUCTURE!

They were like "we're gonna plant seeds instead of gathering; this way we can stay in one place instead of moving all the time and can create longer-lasting buildings." T-Rex: INFRASTRUCTURE! It's always the same! WHY do kids love INFRASTRUCTURE so much? Narrator: LATER, IN A CAVE: T-Rex: Dang it! I wanted to come here to sit in the dark and smell bear poop, and now that my eyes have adjusted, you know what I see? T-Rex: DEER! T-Rex: DEER ALL OVER THE FRIGGIN' WALLS

@sethmagaziner.bsky.social had a REALLY effective exchange with Kristi Noem, asking her to thank service members for their service (she refused in case of veteran she deported to Korea).

Magaziner accused Noem of not knowing the good guys from the bad guys.

I’ll never forget hearing Donald Trump’s racist “shithole countries” comment in a 2018 Oval Office meeting about immigration.

Tom Cotton and David Perdue claimed Trump didn’t say it and accused me of lying.

The truth comes out.

TRUMP: “I said why is it we only take people from shithole countries? Why can't we have some people from Norway, Sweden, Denmark… But we always take people from Somalia— places that are filthy, dirty, disgusting.”

Such a mystery what he means when he says this stuff, isn’t it?

Multiple U.S. citizens have been arrested during ICE operations.

The forcefulness, lack of communication, and unlawful practices displayed by federal agents will not be tolerated in Minnesota.

I identified myself as a US citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out. Even after I complied, I was taken to a detention center and held for 3 days without charges. No phone call, no lawyer, no medical care
