So he's right in the sense that I don't think he pays state and local taxes in NYC. On the other hand, it could be taken as a good argument for 10x-ing his taxes.

In *normal times* it is a decent win for the minority party to force the majority into taking unpopular rolls call votes. A big divide for Ds is beliefs about whether we are in normal times (we are not).

It is sad how gullible so many media actors are. Trump creates a problem by initiating a trade war, calls the trade war (partially) off, and by the numbers has us in a worse place than we started out. This is called a win.

There are plenty of things from the previous version of US democracy that need to be set aside. Due process, freedom from unreasonable searches and other similar protections most definitely deserve to be maintained.

It's not hard to understand why a guy with Trump's history would view due process simply as the way guilty people get away with crimes.

Hopeful signs these past 48 hours that we are gonna beat this authoritarian regime and send them packing. Conservative thought leaders advocating for a mass anti regime movement. SCOTUS showings signs of acknowledging reality. Powerful organizations refusing to obey in advance. Regime balking.

obviously Bukele has given his spin, but if a single senator can spring Kilmar for margaritas, then it has become exceptionally awkward for the President and his entire executive branch to insist there's nothing they can do to get him back to the US.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

One problem that seems common among elites is that they expect there to be some way to take on fascism that is easy and risk-free, which is absolutely delusional.

America is on the clock to stop the current regime's authoritarian consolidation. It is indisputable in my view that authoritarianism is here. We may well be headed toward totalitarianism.

The US is sending people to a death camp. No trial. Not any serious process at all. Just an assertion by a tyrannical government. It is illegal, unconstitutional, and deeply immoral. It is nazi shit and we cannot look away. Every American is now facing a moral test of historic proportions.

Without robust due process protections, government tyranny can prevail. And I am just going to say that is inconsistent with the US Constitution, full stop.

SCOTUS: You cannot hustle people off in the dead of night without access to courts. . . But who are WE to do anything to stop you from doing exactly that?

Nate Kelly @natekelly.bsky.social · 08/04/2025

What a way to avoid a showdown between the judicial and executive branch, just rule that due process protections are optional and that tyranny is consistent with the constitution. Problem solved!

020

Nate Kelly @natekelly.bsky.social · 08/04/2025

Seems a whole lot like due process protections in name only. A classic Roberts move: write down that the protection of rights exists while gutting any practical protection of those rights. I am not seeing very much of a silver lining here.

Sotomayor: "The implication of the Government’s position is that not only noncitizens but also United States citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal"

Serious question. What is the remedy for someone who is removed without being given enough notice to actually seek habeas relief in the proper venue? How does this work in practice if the government wants to continue right on without providing due process?

A conspiracy theory I 100% believe is that a number of people close to Trump are getting rich(er) shorting the market before he makes stocks tank, buying low after they take a dive, and then selling high when Trump backs down.

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.
