How the Trump Administration Violated a Court Order
Ryan Goodman points out the Trump administration circumvented a federal court order barring the removal of migrants to third countries without due process by playing a shell game with government agencies.
In this case, the Department of Homeland Security “transferred” custody of a detainee to the Department of Defense—then allowed the Pentagon to carry out the deportation to El Salvador.
Then, the Trump administration argued the court’s order didn’t apply to the Defense Department, since DOD wasn’t technically a party to the original lawsuit.
Democrats Dust Off the 50-State Strategy
“The Democratic National Committee is pledging to give tens of thousands of dollars monthly to every state party across the country, emphasizing red states over blue ones, in an expansive — and expensive — push to make Democrats competitive from Alaska to Florida,” the New York Times reports.
“The DNC will spend more than $1 million a month on the 50-state program, which is increasing the organization’s monthly cash donations to state parties in red states by 50 percent and in blue states by 30 percent.”
“The extra money to red states, the D.N.C. argues, is to build long-term infrastructure in places where it is currently lacking to create possibilities in elections beyond just the upcoming midterms.”

Senate Democrats Brace for Leadership Fight
“Sen. Dick Durbin’s (D-IL) retirement is setting off a once-in-a-decade leadership fight for Senate Democrats,” Axios reports.
“Durbin, 80, has been the Senate Democratic whip since 2005. Whoever replaces him becomes the instant front-runner to replace Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer down the road.”
“An open fight for the whip spot next year could also complicate Schumer’s strategy of privately mediating intraparty disputes. It will potentially expose the party’s deep divide on whether to elect a moderate — or a progressive — to help them return to power.”

Incompetence Is Undoing Trump’s Approval Rate
“In less than 100 days, President Trump has squandered his polling strength on the two issues most fundamental to his re-election: the economy and immigration,” Axios reports.
“Trump’s approval rating is cratering not because voters reject his goals — but because they’re increasingly alarmed by his methods. That disconnect threatens to collapse the two most durable pillars of his political brand.”
