Trump keeps saying "excursion" (a leisure trip) when he means "incursion" (an invasion). One slip is forgivable. Repeating it means he doesn't know, and his staff is too afraid to correct him.

it’s a common occurrence now to see the name of a complete lunatic you hadn’t thought about in a while and learn they’re the head of a federal agency. A year or two ago Pulte was fraternizing with a weird online cult who think there’s a conspiracy against Bed Bath & Beyond stockholders.

This decision is bad enough on the merits. But it also gives the government relief in a case in which it defied the district court at least *twice.* That’s quite a message to send to the government with respect to the costs of its litigation behavior in other cases—or the complete lack thereof.

Abrego Garcia could ask for a bail hearing to cross examine the government on this pretty basic discrepancy. Suggests a real rush to charge in order to have a political face-saving way to bring him back. Of course, legally his due process rights were already violated, per the Supreme Court.
