- JUST IN: Judge Xinis says the DOJ has failed to file a privilege log regarding invocation of the state secrets privilege in Kilmar Abrego Garcia's case. She's giving them until 3pm or will construe it as "intentional refusal" to comply. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
- Reminder: when Sean Duffy was a congressman, he and other Republicans voted against upgrading air traffic control systems. Now, he’s trying to blame those systems for Newark airport’s outages – while claiming DOGE’s cuts of critical support staff at the FAA had nothing to do with it. Hello?
- I had some new headshots taken, and my donkey would not get out of the way, so I ended up taking a couple with him. Gus❤️

- Your Mother’s Day weekend reminder that the so-called “party of family values” has historically blocked: -Paid family & medical leave -Universal childcare -Universal pre-K -Expanded Child Tax Credit -Programs to support reproductive health Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

- I’m not a lawyer. Before Trump, I didn’t know a Habeas from a Corpus. Most of us do…now, though. We also know what corruption and attempts at destroying democracy look like. That’s his whole game plan.
- Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.
- If you think for a single fucking second that suspending due process will stop with the people you don’t happen to like, then congratulations, because you are an idiot, an asshole, and you’re in a fucking cult.
- In case anyone was wondering how things were going in here America, the Fox flunkies & taint-licking toadies who work for the sexual abusing, tax fraud felon and current occupant of our White House, are arresting judges and mayors while threatening to “suspend” habeas corpus.

- Mothers Day hits different for many of us. Many have strained relationships with their moms, some wish they still had their mom's... no matter the relationship, I wish all the moms a happy mother's day especially my mom and to all those who are without their mom's this year, my heart is with you. 🫶🏽

- The Trump administration is trying everything it can to dismantle our democracy. We can't let that happen. The first step to fighting back is staying informed. Get free daily updates from Democracy Docket: hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
- A Member of Congress —who was at the facility today with the Newark mayor — told Alicia Menendez on air tonight that the Newark mayor was *invited* into the detention facility. And then when he left, ICE arrested him for trespass!
- Elon Musk and Big Balls decided he was dead.
- On Friday, a judge ordered the release of Rümeysa Öztürk, a Tufts student seized by ICE in March. The ruling affirms our habeas and due process rights—just as Stephen Miller suggests erasing them. The law is not on his side. Jen Rubin and I break it all down.
- NEW: The Trump administration is looking into suspending people’s right to challenge their incarceration in court, to carry out President Donald Trump’s mass deportation efforts, White House aide Stephen Miller said Friday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

- I am outraged by the unjust arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka earlier this afternoon outside of Delaney Hall in Newark. I am calling for his immediate release by federal law enforcement.
- The mayor of Newark was arrested today while protesting at a federal immigration detention center operated by GEO Group — a private prison company and major Trump donor. Kudos to Ras Baraka for standing up to this authoritarian regime.
- Arresting a mayor for doing his job should never be allowed in this country. We stand firmly with Mayor Baraka and his right to do his job. The Trump administration’s actions are an abuse of all we believe in America. www.aft.org/press-releas... @aaup.bsky.social @aftnewjersey.bsky.social

- Bill Gates pledged to give an additional $200 billion to charity during the next 20 years- effectively spending down his personal fortune. Of Elon Musk, Gates said “The picture of the world’s richest man killing the world’s poorest children is not a pretty one,”

- In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.
