Chris Murphy is saying what I’ve been screaming about for months. Better late than never. Now, Murphy needs to hammer this message home in an unrelenting fashion…and never stop.

A Skadden attorney resigned today, citing the firm’s decision to strike a deal with Trump amid pressure campaign on law firms. “[I]f my employer cannot stand up for the rule of law, then I cannot ethically continue to work for them,” the former Skadden lawyer, Brenna Trout Frey, wrote on LinkedIn.

Every admirable instance of intellectual clarity and moral courage is a sad reminder of how few such there have been.

Just putting this out there but if they can grab anyone they want, stick them on a plane, and then say US law and judicial review doesn't exist over international waters then no one in America has ANY Constitutional rights anymore.

The Trump administration has again suddenly cleared out all the migrants it sent to the US Navy base at Guantánamo Bay, ostensibly with final deportation orders. But this time it flew everybody back to the USA -- without an explanation. w/ @charlie_savage nytimes.com/2025/03/12/us/…

The largest donor in the 2024 election, who also happens to be the richest man in the world, tried to hijack negotiations over a spending bill and nearly pushed us to the brink of a disastrous government shutdown. Good lord do we need to overturn Citizens United.

The US's largely unknown imprisonment scandal: how long 16 men still held at #Guantanamo have been held since they were unanimously approved for release by high-level US gov review processes. A scandal that Biden MUST address with a clear sense of urgency before he leaves office.

Photos and Report: Dismay and Determination at the Global Vigils for #Guantanamo’s Closure on November 6, 2024: With Trump heading to the White House once more, Joe Biden has just 2 months to take decisive action & free the 16 men long approved for release andyworthington.co.uk/2024/11/09/pho…

For those who want to see #Guantanamo closed, Trump's victory leaves a 2-month window of opportunity for Biden to take decisive action before Trump seals it shut again. We need to demand that the 16 men still held who have long been approved for release are freed before Jan. 20.
