"We have to make ICE's conduct into a major issue in the 2026 and 2028 elections and pressure our elected officials and in particular Congress to make this priority and change ICE's practices. If we don't do that, nothing is going to change."

- Professor Noah Feldman, a Constitutional law Professor
Professor Noah Feldman was my classmate twice over. He is one of the more brilliant minds I have ever encountered. I love how he lays it plain here.

Me on DOJ’s behavior: “it’s malevolence *exacerbated* by incompetence. That’s problematic enough for the government’s credibility before federal district judges. But at some point soon, one suspects that the Supreme Court itself may well have to grapple with its consequences—or risk being duped.”
194. Another Bad Week for the Presumption of Regularity
Three different flashpoints highlight how much the Trump administration has done, in such short order, to undermine its own litigation efforts and to damage—perhaps irreparably—DOJ's credibility.

NEW: Trump DOJ once again BUSTED for yet another lie told to a federal judge, this time in Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s cases:

DOJ told Judge Xinis Costa Rica wouldn’t take Abrego Garcia & instead he has to be deported to Liberia, with which he has no ties at all.

Turns out, it’s a LIE.

Another late night threat by Donald Trump, and this time he’s going after people in just one state w/ legal status. Maybe the President should spend his evenings working on bringing down costs instead of targeting Somalis who have been in our country for years. Think about it.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

The plan gives Putin a clear victory:
- Ukraine ceding territory it now holds, after 4 years of fighting;
- Reducing Ukraine's military by over half, making it weak;
- No NATO enlargement, giving Putin a veto over NATO.

I served as our Ambassador in Ukraine for 3 years under Putin’s missiles and drones but resigned when Trump kept appeasing Putin. America does not bow to dictators. It’s not who we are.

“His main priority was getting his reading done for English class.”

Students are being taken from school by ICE — and the classroom is now part of the front lines.
