Buttigieg on Indiana Republicans: "To be clear, they didn't stop being Republicans. This is a conservative state. These are conservative legislators. But they figured out that the right thing to do and the smart thing to do was to say no to the White House, no to Donald Trump, and not to JD Vance."

Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

Lie. Scary, though.

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.

NEW: President Donald Trump says he is granting a pardon to Tina Peters, who was convicted on state charges related to tampering with Colorado's election systems. Legal experts say presidential pardons do not apply to state charges.

Trump sent Vance there twice. He threatened to cut off all federal spending to the state. He vowed to back primary challengers of any Republican who voted against him here. He posted their names online, prompting his fans to send them death threats.
But all that failed, so now he wasn't involved.

So yeah, egg prices are down. And today I paid $2.51 for a gallon of gas in central Indiana but the *regular* price was $2.91. It's true these numbers are lower. OTOH groceries seem to be even higher than EVER!

Everyone loves when a billionaire grifter president who was born into massive wealth lectures them on how their affordability struggles are a hoax and everything is fine, but they also need to spend less and ration baby dolls for some unrelated reason.

And we’re get … Russia?
Donald Trump's longer NSS completely delivers on Russia's demands. As I feared would happen in the transition when Russia was calling in his debts, he's ceding Europe to Putin.

It’s as plain as the nose on your face.
Trump says reporting on his health is "seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean 'THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.' They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it."

They’re blaming Dems for the shutdown, as if that stopped them from doing the job. They were still getting paid, they could have been working the entire time.
