So wait, how did Sen. Schmitt get those text messages? Internal messages between a prosecutor and his staff?

I've been in court. I've dealt with the constant fear of messing up. But in my entire career I don't think I've ever seen anyone mess up like Eric Schmitt did today. I can't even imagine.

Real lives are being destroyed and snuffed out every day that this policy is allowed to continue and the people who devised it are not in jail. I know we all know this, but I feel like it's important to say it from time to time.

This is a human rights abuse worthy of prosecution under intentional law. Minimally, they should be impeached and removed for this alone.

And once again, real harms imposed on real people must be set aside until after real damage is done in order to privilege the unproven right of Trump to impose those harms

Listening to the D.C. Circuit's en banc oral argument regarding Judge Boasberg's efforts to investigate contempt of court in regards to the CECOT flights, and it's not going great for the government right now. It seems like the en banc court is likely to allow the investigation to go forward.

Proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump and Co. conducted a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States out of its presidential election — ie attempted an autogolpe, or "self-coup" — was in the public record. The facts and the law were never in question. Only if America would follow them.

Listening to the en banc DC Circuit appeal of the Boasberg contempt matter, unfortunately I don't have time to listen to the whole thing so I'm not live-posting. But one of the judges just asked the government's attorney: "I know you think that, but what evidence do you have to support that?"

Ok so when Biden says stop collecting on certain loans that is an unconstitutional overreach but when Trump says stop giving out loans (which is just as income-reducing from a lender's perspective) it's not a constitutional problem?

Wow. “Boasberg is now, in a sense, carrying the load for American society and history. The administration has been intent, from its first minutes in office, on the Orwellian project of whitewashing history and erasing Trump’s perfidy, the worst by any president in our history”

Issues involving voluntary departure are generally not reviewable. But here, the majority says it would be absurd for the Board to be able to insulate its rulings from review by lying about the evidence in front of it. This is a good case for noncitizens.

It almost reads as a very sneaky, coded request to the court to take the matter away from her if she doesn't grant an admin stay. So, in that sense, it's certainly worse!

New — I had the opportunity to see NAZA, the documentary freaking out the Israeli government because of its horrifying firsthand descriptions of the way the IDF has used AI to target and massacre Palestinian civilians. My thoughts on the film’s damning revelations, and the banality of evil:

I saw the documentary the Israeli government doesn’t want you to see
'NAZA' dispels once and for all the myth that the IDF didn't target civilians in Gaza.

ICE has a bigger budget than the Marine Corps & still conned Congress out of $20M more for bodycams. Swore every agent would wear one by August. It’s September and ICE shot an Austinite in the back. They say there was no camera. They’re liars with masks and a blank check from Trump.
