Judge opens criminal contempt proceedings against Trump officials
Finally! US District Judge James Boasberg said there is cause to hold the Trump administration in criminal contempt for "willful disregard" and ignoring his orders over flights containing migrants who were disappeared to a notorious prison in El Salvador. For the last several weeks, Boasberg has grilled officials about the lawless flights, pressing for details on when the government started hauling people out of the United States and who specifically made those orders. Trump's prosecutors have dodged the judge's questions routinely, claiming state secret privileges over information or flatly asserting that they simply don't know who instructed the planes to keep going even after his order was issued. Funny thing about courtrooms run by competent judges — they place a premium on the rule of law and aren't exactly receptive to fascist bullsh*t. More of this, please!

Deb Haaland vows to protect us from Trump and his billionaire allies
Deb Haaland for Governor: Deb Haaland has fiercely fought for justice and delivered results for working people throughout her life, be it as an organizer, from the halls of Congress, or as Secretary of the Department of the Interior.

We can help Deb fight back against Trump by electing her to the governor’s office in New Mexico. Will you chip in to help this fierce public servant answer the call to service once again?
Trump’s pick to run the critical DC attorney’s office has appeared on Russian state media over 150 times
Interim US Attorney for for the District of Columbia Ed Martin, Trump's supremely unqualified permanent pick for the post, has appeared on Russia's Kremlin-controlled state media more than 150 times, parroting sympathetic pro-Putin talking points. Oy! What's the big deal, you ask? It's not like he also organized the baseless "Stop the Steal" movement following the 2020 election, compared DEI policies to Jim Crow, lied about Martin Luther King Jr., and made wildly racist comments about Kamala Harris and Planned Parenthood. Shit, wait. No, he's terrible. Oh, and also probably a compromised stooge unwittingly or willingly doing Russia's bidding.

White House brings out mom of woman killed by immigrant to justify rejection of due process
With stunning, opportunistic cruelty, the Trump regime trotted out a grieving Maryland mother and used her family's tragedy to justify the MAGA cult leader's continued trampling on the US Constitution and the rule of law. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt seized on the nakedly political stunt to defend the administration's wrongful deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man with absolutely no connection to the crime. There simply is no bottom with this administration.

Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen denied request to meet Kilmar Ábrego García by Salvadoran government
Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen says the government of El Salvador denied his request to visit Kilmar Ábrego García, his Maryland constituent who was wrongly and illegally deported by Donald Trump to a notorious prison where he has not been heard from since. Van Hollen was also denied the opportunity to speak with García by phone, as El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, has steadfastly refused to cooperate or return the US resident to the states and his family. "We have an unjust situation here. The Trump administration is lying about Ábrego García," said Van Hollen, who added his constituent had been wrongly named as a member of the MS-13 criminal gang. The Trump regime has admitted that an "administrative error" led to the deportation of Ábrego García to his native country, despite an immigration judge granting him protected status in 2019.
Trump calls Harvard a "joke" and says it should be stripped of funds
Folks, the con man who was forced to pony up $25 MILLION to settle multiple lawsuits for running a totally fake, unaccredited scam of a "school" called Trump University says Harvard, perhaps the country's most prestigious institution of higher education dating back to its founding in 1636, is a "joke" and should be stripped of all its funding. We are truly living in the upside down.
RFK Jr. plays medical detective as he contradicts his own department on autism
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sits atop a government agency that spends $45 billion a year on medical research. The best scientists in the world, with access to the most technologically advanced equipment and cutting-edge artificial intelligence, are at his disposal. But with confidence that only a worm-addled Kennedy heir could muster, the health secretary dismissed the findings of those scientists Wednesday, instead announcing his intention to find the real truth behind what he described as an “epidemic” of autism. It's so good to be great again and finally have an expert on the case!

"Treated like a criminal": US citizen says he was detained returning from Canada
Bachir Atallah and his wife, Jessica Fakhri, were traveling back from a quick family trip Sunday when they say US Customs and Border Protection stopped them when reentering the country in Vermont. Attallah complied after the officer began to brandish his gun, and was then detained, manhandled, and had his personal electronic devices examined under duress and against his will. "They handcuffed me, they twisted my arm, my wrist," said Attallah, who was held for five hours before finally being released. The real estate attorney, who was returning from a family gathering to celebrate Palm Sunday, immediately questioned why he was being detained. "Even if you ask questions, they say, 'We don't know, it's the government,'" he said. First it was immigrants. Then it was tourists. Now it's US citizens with the wrong last name. How much more has to happen before any random American entering or leaving the country gets thrown around in the box by Trump's immigration goons?
10 New York prison guards indicted, 2 for murder, in connection to inmate's brutal beating death
Ten New York corrections officers were charged in an 11-count grand jury indictment on Wednesday in connection to the March 1 beating death of an inmate, Messiah Nantwi, according to charging documents obtained by ABC News. Two officers, Jonah Levi and Caleb Blair, were charged with the most serious offense in the indictment — second-degree murder — and are also each facing five additional charges of first-degree manslaughter, first- and second-degree gang assault, conspiracy and intent to defraud. During a press conference on Wednesday afternoon, Onondaga County District Attorney William Fitzpatrick said Nantwi, who was serving a five-year sentence for second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, "suffered massive head injuries." He added, "It was determined by the Onondaga County Medical Examiner that Mr. Nantwi died from traumatic brain injuries as a result of violent blows to his head, as well as at least 69 other serious blows about his body."
