Old enough to remember *this morning*, when the DC Circuit had a hearing on whether the administration criminally lied about flying immigrants to dangerous third countries without a hearing. So maybe don’t keep letting them fly immigrants to dangerous third countries without a hearing.

SCOTUS just agreed that Trump is *irreparably harmed* by not being able to disappear folks without a hearing to places like South Sudan, even though they’re already locked up & argument is in a couple months. A friendly bonus scoop of cruelty, from the Justices to their favorite little boy.

The day before his release is too early to sue, and the day after—when he flees—it’ll be too late. Oh the majesty of the law. Time to add “just flee to Texas” to “sign up for ICE” and “bribe Trump for a pardon” on the growing list of ways to get away with crimes, now.

Either we can do round 978 of “defund was a bad slogan and HR trainings were annoying” OR we can take that era’s best ideas —accountability for sexual predators & law enforcement violence — and apply them today…to the sexual predator unleashing law enforcement violence on the country. How bout that?

Every story in America today--the slush fund, Esptein, ICE murders, all of it--is about the total lack of accountability for the rich and powerful. Voters are pissed off and checking out. But if we can finally fix it, we unlock everything else. I wrote about how, for @thehill.com. bit.ly/45hkdbJ

Amy Coney Barrett just told Congress that it would be inappropriate to explain the reasoning behind the Court’s unreasoned shadow docket orders. As if unreasoned judicial orders are a thing. They are not. The reasoning is the whole point.

We can have a world where families get to haul ICE killers into court, take their money & badges, and get closure. We can have a world with real accountability. But we need news laws & a new Supreme Court, which took all of it away from us in the first place. Let's demand it back.

Don’t believe the lie that the Roberts Court is killing independent agencies to make government “more democratically accountable.” They’ve gutted voting rights, made it impossible to sue rogue officials, defied congressional oversight & refused an enforceable ethics code. They *hate* accountability.

I’m glad the Roberts Court didn’t blow up the Fed today, but it was a policy decision to help Trump and their rich friends, who like the Fed but don’t like other regulators. No other straight faced way to justify the two outcomes.

Samuel Alito’s son has worked as a lawyer inside Trump’s Treasury Department since early last year. The administration hid it. No public resume, no mention on the Treasury website, outdated bar listings. Four former officials confirmed it. The public was never told. Here is why that matters.

A little lost in the redistricting insanity is that it would all go away if Republicans just, you know, tried to appeal to minority voters with, like, policies that helped them. But that’s obviously off the table, so instead, we get this.
