The dopamine hit when a judge tells you that you win is huge. Whenever this happens it reminds me why I went into law—there aren’t many jobs you can do where someone decides who “wins” and when it happens you feel like you can fly.

If “irreparable harm” means anything, it means being sent to a country you’ve never seen, where you may well be imprisoned, tortured, or killed, under a policy that (the cert grant implicitly acknowledges!) may well be illegal

John Oliver lists off just some of Ken Paxton’s scandals: “Paxton spent nearly 9 years under indictment for securities fraud... He was also accused of bribery and abuse of office by eight of his own top deputies... But wait, because I'm still not done.”

Tom Kean thinks we're winning a war that's raised your gas prices, depleted our munitions stockpile, and left us no closer to achieving our goals in Iran. NJ-7 deserves better than Tom Kean. They deserve @rebeccabennettforcongress.com.

I don't love dunking on folks but it's so fucking funny to me that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies 2 years ago, faced no punishment, and went on to win the presidency a second time and journalists are still like, "hmm, I have an inkling that maybe he believes he's above the law for some reason."
Post from NYT reporter Eric Lipton 

"What an odd moment in United States history.

A U.S. president is running an overtly political campaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government.

Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit."

Tom Kean has no answer for Trump’s tariffs, just more of the same blind support that’s allowed him to raise your costs. NJ-7 deserves a leader like Rebecca Bennett who will vote to end the tariffs and hold Trump accountable.

The Trump admin admitted it made a mistake in illegally deporting this man TWICE, but — like it initially did with Kilmar Abrego Garcia — it's defying a court order & refuses to bring him back. This federal judge is right to hold the admin in contempt. There must be a penalty for flouting the law.
X Post from @kyledcheney: JUST IN: A federal judge (Trump-appointed Stephanie Gallagher) has held the Trump administration in contempt for deporting a man to El Salvador in violation of three court orders. She's ordering the government to return him.
