“If we are thinking about AI just in terms of how do we cure cancer or get better energy, you can do that without having agentic roaming free in the internet … Not because necessarily they're trying to do bad things, but because they've got to justify these valuations.“- Barack Obama ~ He gets it.

Trump spends his days padding his pockets, obsessing over plans to build monuments to himself, sleeping in meetings, and occasionally sending out fake announcements about illegal rebates. No wonder gas is heading to $5 a gallon.

It's fascinating to me that Trump assumes all of his dumb renaming will stick after he's out of office. At his current rate of plummeting approval, I'm not sure the family will be able to keep his name on properties they own after his demise.

The Court sums up why the 75-country ban is illegal: 1) Congress said consular officers must make individualized decisions. The ban orders consular officers to deny eligible applicants. 2) Congress banned nationality discrimination in visa adjudication. The ban is exactly that.
DISCUSSION
 In many ways, this is not a challenging case. Congress enacted
comprehensive procedures related to the issuance or refusal of immigrant visas. At
the center of the statutory scheme are the consular officers. Congress imbued these
officers with exclusive authority and discretion to determine if an immigrant is
eligible for a visa based upon review of specific and detailed criteria set forth in the
statute. The Policy, which categorically prohibits the issuance of immigrant visas
based upon the nationality of the applicant, represents a direct abrogation of this
statutory scheme.
Consular officers are required to conduct an individualized assessment of
applicants and to refuse visas only to those whom the consular officer finds
ineligible. The Policy nonetheless directs consular officers to refuse eligible
applicantsThe INA prohibits discrimination on the basis of nationality in the issuance
of immigrant visas. The Policy categorically bans nationals of 75 countries from
receiving immigrant visas, even when otherwise eligible, based solely on their
nationality.
The INA explicitly strips the Secretary of State of authority over consular
adjudication of immigrant visas. Through the Policy, Secretary Rubio nonetheless  overrides consular discretion and decision-making and dictates whether immigrant
visas shall be granted or denied.
The Policy is thus patently unlawful and must be vacated under the APA.

Susan Collins voted for $70 billion in ICE funding just before an ICE agent gunned down a young immigrant father in Maine. Collins also voted against an amendment requiring bodycams. These votes will now be hung around her neck, Dems in the state tell me. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2133...

Abraham Lincoln to Joshua F. Speed, 24 Aug 1855
How could I be? How can anyone who abhors the oppression of Negroes be in favor of degrading classes of white people? Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal except negroes." When the Know-nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes and foreigners and Catholics." When it comes to this, I shall prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty,--to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy.
