Today, a chamber that once filled me with wonderment made me feel disgust.

THIS IS A POLICE STATE: Adrian Andrew Martinez. Say his full name. He defended someone from ICE harassment. So CBP jumped him like a gang in a public lot.

No lawyer. No phone call. No fucking trace. They kidnapped a U.S. citizen. Keep filming. This system needs witnesses.

U.S. Correspondent Lauren Tomasi has been caught in the crossfire as the LAPD fired rubber bullets at protesters in Los Angeles.

144. The Supreme Court's Late-Night Alien Enemy Act Intervention Just before 1:00 a.m., the justices (aggressively) stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation—in a decision suggesting that a majority understands that these are no longer normal circumstances.

An absolute must-read from @stevevladeck.bsky.social this morning:

“Just before 1:00 a.m., the justices (aggressively) stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation—in a decision suggesting that a majority understands that these are no longer normal circumstances.”

JUST IN: Judge Boasberg finds probable cause to hold administration in contempt of court for defying his order to turn around planes, demands new details in order for officials to “purge” their contempt. Details TK

Without Due Process, it's just kidnapping!

You know, them and all their cronies. Planned maybe?

Do you think maybe they shorted the market?

Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.

“Elon Musk has committed a blatant felony by offering money for votes in order to help Brad Schimel. Musk’s illegal election bribery scheme to put Brad Schimel on the Supreme Court is a chainsaw attack on democracy and the rule of law in Wisconsin and our nation. Elon Musk should be brought to justice for his illegal attempt to buy votes for Brad Schimel, and Brad Schimel should immediately condemn Musk’s crimes and disavow his continued involvement in his campaign. If Schimel does not immediately call on Musk to end this criminal activity, we can only assume he is complicit. Law enforcement must act now before this goes any further. Musk’s crime to assist Brad Schimel has already been committed, and if Elon Musk sets foot in Wisconsin, he should be placed in handcuffs and held accountable—just like any other criminal. Musk can have his day in court, but he cannot buy the court.

Here’s our full statement from me for @wisdems.bsky.social.

Read, share—and then if you want to help ensure that Musk’s lawbreaking to help Schimel backfires, donate and volunteer to help Susan Crawford: CrawfordForWI.com

When we finally get to put the current administration and their enablers in prison, this is the conditions they should be kept in. What goes around, comes around.

When does the judge initiate Contempt of Court proceedings for defying the court's oder? If a finding is made for Contempt, what sort of sanctions can be applied and to whom?
