I'm going to take this time to give kudos to the ASL interpreter who is doing a better job at signing than the lady I saw earlier at an earlier presser for this reason alone:

When ICE was mentioned, she signed "police"; this fellow here did not, and fingerspelled
"I C E". Good job, terp!

We have a lot of totally useless Senators. Here's one who could pretty clearly make a great apple pie. But we need someone to tear down a fascist regime here. Please call Amy and tell her to resign and go away.

Amy Klobuchar calls on Supreme Court to hold Trump officials in contempt

Senator Klobuchar warns of US getting ‘closer to a constitutional crisis’
-- as Samuel Alito’s dissent signals deference to Trump

On Sunday Minnesota senator #Amy #Klobuchar warned that the US is “getting closer and closer to a constitutional crisis”, but the courts, growing Republican disquiet at Trump administration policies, and public protest were holding it off.

“I believe as long as these courts hold,
and the constituents hold,
and the congress starts standing up,
our democracy will hold,”

Klobuchar told CNN’s State of the Union, adding
💥“but Donald Trump is trying to pull us down into the sewer of a crisis.”

Klobuchar said the US supreme court should 👉hold Trump administration officials in contempt if they continue to ignore a court order to facilitate the return of Kilmar Ábrego García from El Salvador,
the Maryland resident the government admitted in court it had deported by mistake.

Klobuchar said the court could appoint a 👉special prosecutor, independent of Trump’s Department of Justice,
to uphold the rule of law and charge any officials who are responsible for Ábrego García’s deportation,
or have refused to facilitate his return.

The senator’s comments came hours after supreme court released justice #Samuel #Alito’s #dissenting #opinion on the court’s decision to block the Trump administration from deporting more Venezuelans held in north Texas’s Bluebonnet detention center .

In his dissent, Alito criticized the decision of the seven-member majority,
saying the court had acted “literally in the middle of the night” and without sufficient explanation.

The “unprecedented” relief was “hastily and prematurely granted”, Alito added.

Alito, whose dissent was joined by fellow conservative justice #Clarence #Thomas, said there was “dubious factual support” for granting the request in an emergency appeal from the American Civil Liberties Union
to block deportations of accused gang members that the administration contends are legal under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.

The majority did not provide a detailed explanation for the order released early on Saturday,
only that the administration should not to remove Venezuelans held in the “until further order of this court”.

The court has said previously that deportations under the 1798 law can only proceed if those scheduled to be removed are offered a chance to argue their case in court and were given “a reasonable time” to contest their pending removals.

Zelenskyy is fighting for freedom. Putin and Donold are fascists destroying freedom.

All of us have to decide whose side we're on.

In 2022, #Royce #White
—a former first-round NBA draft pick and George Floyd protest leader
—ran in the primary for #Minnesota’s Fifth Congressional District
as a far-right Republican and disciple of #Steve #Bannon.
White lost—badly... probably because he was hard to take seriously as a candidate.
White’s campaign centered less on issues affecting Minnesota voters and more on incendiary comments about the #Chinese Communist Party, #women, and #Jews.
After this defeat, one might assume an end to White’s political journey. Especially because, in many ways, his public image has somehow gotten worse. Earlier this week, the Daily Beast reported that White’s 2022 campaign spent lavishly, including thousands at strip clubs.
But, no quitter, White persisted. In an outsider campaign, he announced last year he would run for US #Senate in 2024. This week
—somehow—
💥White won the endorsement of the Republican party to face Sen. Amy #Klobuchar in Minnesota.💥
White’s endorsement perhaps shows the degree to which a new Republican party is emerging. Or, it could simply be a quirk of a weird election year. But, either way, you should go read Eamon’s old piece outlining White’s rise (perhaps descent is the better term) to MAGA candidate.
There is one part that has always stuck with me from that piece. For it, Eamon talked with White’s #grandfather, Frank White, an elder statesman in the Minnesota sporting scene:
“I’m proud of my grandson, but do I agree with his politics? -- #No,” White told us at the time.

“He told me, ‘Hey grandpa, I’m going to be on Steve Bannon’s podcast.’
I said, ‘Do you know who Steve Bannon is, man?’” White continued:
“There’s no way I can support my grandson supporting the GOP, and in essence, Trump. This is a guy who wants to be a #dictator. Think about what that means. You’re a person of color. Do you think you fit in his plans?”

Sen. Amy #Klobuchar (D-MN) said #Senate #Democrats have concluded that #uninterrupted #aid to #Ukraine is their top goal, adding that aid negotiations will be saved for a supplemental request.

“I believe there’s a bunch of #Republicans who are w/ Ukraine. The big test … is going to be what happens w/the supplemental & what happens in the next few weeks,” she said.
