"The record clearly demonstrates that there is an imminent danger of irreparable harm, in the form of potential torture or even death, if Doe is not immediately returned .... overwhelmingly supports the immediate necessity of ordering Doe’s return to the United States."

[Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney]

A man who aided US authorities by testifying against Mexican cartels was illegally removed *three times* in recent weeks — including to Mexico, where he had protection from deportation due to threat of torture/death.

A judge in MD has ordered his return.

Three times.

Three times @margbrennan had to ask Dr. Oz to say the MMR vaccine is not lethal (and, by implication, Trump was wrong to say otherwise).

Dr Oz admits it on third attempt.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

BRENNAN: The president twice said the MMR shot may be lethal. Do you want to clarify that?

DR OZ: We want parents to have the autonomy to decide what their kids receive

BRENNAN: But he used the term 'lethal.' Do you want to clarify?

OZ: The MMR vaccine is not a lethal vaccine

"The US Navy is working to rename an aircraft carrier under construction that was set to honor a Black sailor hailed for his heroic actions during the attack on Pearl Harbor ... there have been internal conversations about renaming it to honor Trump."

[Ryan Goodman @rgoodlaw]

In every case decided on a U.S. plaintiff's claim, courts have ruled against Trump administration or the administration abandoned its defense.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

“Just Security [@just_security], an online law and policy journal, has been tracking cases in which federal judges have admonished Trump’s prosecutors, including those involving the presumption.

“‘We’re witnessing a breakdown in the ways in which any administration ordinarily carries out its responsibilities, through the Justice Department in particular,’ said Ryan Goodman [@rgoodlaw], Just Security’s co-editor-in-chief.”

[Ryan Goodman @rgoodlaw]

2/ Judge Sullivan: “I’m here to ensure compliance with the law that Congress passed and the President enacted.”

“The public has a right to know what the hell is going on in this case,” Sullivan said. “The victims have a right to know.”

"During a blistering hearing on Thursday, a federal judge skewered the Trump Justice Department’s justifications for withholding the Epstein files and warned that he has a history of holding government attorneys in contempt."
