Trump is a sick guy, and his sickness combined with Republican complicity, makes him dangerous. (He's still behaving like the dictator in Bananas.) All three branches are slipping away from them, assuming we have elections in 26 and 28.

Roberts to the rescue! Balls and strikes my ass. Roberts transferred the Boasberg complaint to Sutton in the 6th Circuit, who gutted it.
A few pages of Jeff Sutton telling Chad Mizelle to shove it — repeatedly — is definitely a good little read that all the more clearly illustrates how unfit Mizelle was for public office.

The purpose and mission of ICE is to forcibly deport ~4% of the people living in the United States, and they are on their way to getting the budget, staff and physical plant to do this. “Regulatory reforms” misses the point

My piece on our break with our closest neighbor and ally:
"There’s no talk about a mutually beneficial relationship; Canada, Trump says, is not even a vassal state. Its very existence is dependent on the US, which means it is dependent on him personally. 'Canada lives because of the US,' he says, like a domestic abuser sneering." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

Evidently, the 47 days of ICE Training left out the part about the legality of recording agents from your car.
Listen to how brave and unflappable these observers are. Incredible heroism and outright villainy. ICE MUST LEAVE and MUST BE DISMANTLED
This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

If they insist on this, at least have it done by an independent auditing firm. Otherwise, no one will believe anything they say. And have it overseen by Congress. Trump's fixation on 2020 is a dangerous sign of his instability.
