Screenshotted excerpt from the linked article, reading as follows: Boasberg scheduled a hearing for 5 PM and asked the government’s lawyer point-blank whether there were imminent removals planned under the proclamation. The Justice Department lawyer claimed he didn’t know, so at 5:22 PM, Boasberg adjourned the hearing until 6 PM to allow him to investigate. A removal flight took off at 5:25, followed by another at 5:45. When the hearing resumed at 6 PM, the Justice Department lawyer told Boasberg he still had no flight details to share. Boasberg ordered the government not to carry out any removals under the proclamation for 14 days, and said that if planes had already taken off, the people needed to be returned to the United States. Several hours later, the government transferred the migrants into El Salvador’s custody. Secretary of State Marco Rubio then retweeted a post from the president of El Salvador: a news headline about Boasberg’s order, accompanied by the text, “Oopsie…Too late 😂😂.”

Judge Neomi Rao called the criminal contempt investigation into the Trump administration “improper,” “unnecessary,” and “a clear abuse of discretion"

Trump Threatens to Fire Powell if He Does Not Resign From Fed

Breaking NYT:

Trump is now threatening to fire Jerome Powell if he does not resign from the Federal Reserve.

Powell's term as Fed chair officially ends on May 15, but he can stay on as a governor until 2028 and has said he would not leave until the criminal investigation is over.

It turns out that the DoorDash deliverer earlier at the White House was a Republican staged event. Sharon Simmons of Arkansas was used last year by the GOP to promote their “One Big Beautiful Bill.”

CBS: "Simmons, who told reporters she'd never delivered to the White House before..."

Yes, because she lives several states away.

Gaza: Israeli entry restrictions cause critical shortage of medical supplies | MSF MSF medical adviser, Dr. Randa Abu El-Khair Masoud, describes shortages in chronic disease medication and dressing materials at our hospitals and clinics. The needs in Gaza are massive, but not enough...

Israel is still blocking MSF from bringing critical medical supplies into Gaza. It offers no excuse. Evidently Israel is still pursuing its genocidal unfulfilled aim of making life so miserable that two million Palestinians flee "voluntarily." www.msf.org/gaza-israeli...

The Trump budget calls to eliminate the Native Hawaiian education program but doesn't eliminate the Alaskan Native education program.

What's the difference, you might ask? One state voted for him, and one didn't.

Evangelicals backed Trump. Now pastors denounce his ICE crackdown hitting their churches. Amid ICE arrests and detentions, attendance has dropped and churches have closed. "You're deporting the future of American Christianity," a Latino evangelical leader said.

Pastor Erick Salgado used to preach to his Brooklyn congregation that they shouldn’t fear immigration officers because “they are after criminals.”

Then ICE started arresting members of the church.

For weeks, Hegseth has insisted that the U.S. has complete control of Iranian air space

White House again proposes steep NASA budget cuts For the second consecutive year, the White House is proposing a major budget cut for NASA that would significantly impact science and the ISS.

Even as Artemis II races toward the moon, Trump proposes deep cuts in NASA, slashing 23% from this year, mainly eliminating science programs. Last year Congress reversed similar cuts. spacenews.com/white-house-...

“He’s not a war hero. He is a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.” -- President Donald J Trump, July 18, 2015

Hegseth has intervened in military promotions for more than a dozen senior officers The defense secretary’s efforts to block or delay promotions to general or admiral for some officers has raised concerns that he may be targeting them because of race, gender or affiliation with the B...

NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has taken steps to block or delay promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military, according to nine U.S. officials familiar with the process.

I knew he was going to look like this.

Still can’t get over the House GOP rejecting a 100-0 bill from the Senate to fund TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA and… just going on vacation.

Complete abdication of duty.

Walz: The president said it's a bunch of radicals. You're damn right we've been radicalized. Radicalized by compassion, radicalized by decency, radicalized by due process, radicalized by democracy.

If Trump responds to the No Kings protest by sending more troops in to American cities, liberals will have blood on their hands.

Thankful for foreign governments telling us what our government is hiding.

10 American service members just got hurt in Saudi Arabia. Iranian attack.
Retaliating for a war Congress never authorized.
That Trump launched from a golf resort.
These are real people.

Trump: "We have a thing called a war, or as they would rather say, a military operation. It's for legal reasons. Because as a military operation, I don't need any approvals. As a war you're supposed to get approval from Congress. Something like that. So I call it a military operation."

It’s almost midnight and we’re just getting out of votes. Not a single Republican joined us to reopen the government—even with a bipartisan Senate bill to fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard. Shame.

Detained by ICE, he missed multiple cancer treatments. Now he’s in hospice. Some immigrants with chronic health problems were swept up by ICE in Minnesota, leading to missed medications and, for one man, missed chemotherapy sessions.

Oudone Lothirath missed four out of five chemotherapy appointments while in ICE detention and received no medical care there. Now he will likely die in a matter of days. www.startribune.com/how-ice-deta...
