Jay Kuo provides a list of ten reasons to be hopeful that Trump and MAGA are on the ropes as a new year begins:

1. DOGE went down in disgrace.

2. Abrego Garcia was freed, with the DOJ itself now facing accountability.

3. Trump’s federal troop deployment was kneecapped.

4. Censorship and persecution of Trump’s enemies are failing.

"I’ve never seen a case where the government made representations to a judge that were refuted by its own internal communications. It’s exceptionally unusual for prosecutors to have to take the witness stand to defend their own conduct. But Abrego Garcia’s case, which has been highly irregular from the start, may well be the one where that happens."

Once Again, The Trump Administration Is Caught Lying About Deportation Options For Kilmar Abrego Garcia

"Ahead of Abrego Garcia's criminal trial that is scheduled to begin next year, the Trump administration has repeatedly sought to deport him from the U.S. again, proposing to send him to countries including Uganda, Eswatini and now, Liberia.

The Trump administration is urging Xinis to lift her August order barring Abrego Garcia's deportation and allow the government to remove him to Liberia, arguing that the administration has gone through all the necessary steps to deport Abrego Garcia.

The Justice Department said that Abrego Garcia, who remains in federal immigration detention, was interviewed in October by a U.S. government asylum officer, and that officer determined that he failed to prove he would face persecution or torture in Liberia. The Justice Department said any additional due process would be unwarranted."
