Jaw-dropping admission by DOJ to court. DOJ admits to having repeatedly made "material mistaken" representations to judge - ICE never had authority (under 2025 Guidance) to conduct arrests at immigration courthouses! DOJ admits court "relied on...prior misrepresentations." DOJ blames ICE (page 2)

This is hideous and horrible, and the people pushing for it deserve to spend the rest of their lives in a cage.

Hidden on page 744 of the farm bill the House Agriculture Committee passed Thursday is a provision that would condemn millions of pigs to a lifetime in gestation crates.

Rebranded the 'Save Our Bacon Act,' it's a pork-industry play to wipe out every state law banning the sale of pork from crated pigs — laws the conservative Supreme Court upheld in 2023.

Over 85% of Democrats and Republicans oppose these crates. Voters have backed ballot measures to ban them in state after state.

The pork industry knows it can't win a straight vote on this. So it's burying the provision in an 800-page bill and hoping no one notices.

Contact your senators and representative today and tell them: oppose the farm bill unless the Save Our Bacon Act is stripped out. You can reach them at http://senate.gov and http://house.gov — it takes two minutes and it matters.

I can so relate to this.

Being a sane American right now: It's like the United States is riding in the back-seat of a car and Dad is driving drunk. Mom is the Republican party, riding in the passenger seat: She knows Dad is completely sloshed but she goes along with it because she's afraid of getting beaten up again if she says anything. Some of your brothers and sisters are excited because they like carnival rides and think speed and chaos is entertaining. But you feel slightly insane because you're the only one in the car who understands the danger everyone is in and no one seems capable of stopping the maniac at the wheel.

More Americans voted for Senator Alex Padilla than for 48 of the 53 red state GOP U.S. Senators combined. That alone makes him a powerful senator.

As a non lawyer I’m trying to square the Chevron decision with their opinion today where it states "On the contrary, as this Court has stressed, courts should and 'must defer to 'the informed discretion of the responsible federal agencies.'" Huh???

"White House officials point to an NSC structure that's filled with committees and meetings that they say slow down decision-making and produce lots of jargon and acronyms." They are completely clueless what the NSC does, and apparently they can't be bothered to learn what the acronyms mean.

The White House just dropped an executive order significantly shaking up operations at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the government’s nuclear safety regulator widely regarded as the “gold standard” for global nuclear power safety operations. I used to cover NRC closely. Here are some notes🧵

They had lawyers, trials, most were given pretrial release, allowed to testify in their own defense, got discovery, could call witnesses, could cross-examine witnesses, could present mitigation at sentencing, and had a right to appeal.

Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

They estimate this operation has cost the U.S. over $16M which is low because it doesn't count the photo op flights in and out by Kristi Noem and Pete Hegseth. They built 1600 tents that ICE can't use because they are inhumane. My latest. Subscribe for free! open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Lisa Blatt—a Big Law attorney who bills herself as a feminist—argued that protecting migrant children from sexual abuse in detention is BAD because it will “actually incentivize illegal crossings” if they know they’re protected from rape. From @jaywillis.net: ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...

But this news may not have been the Justice Department's only rationale. Among those who had urged the Trump administration to drop the lawsuit, according to reporting from Bloomberg Law, is the famed Supreme Court lawyer Lisa Blatt, a Williams & Connolly partner representing Southwest Key. In a February Il email viewed by Bloomberg, Blatt warned the Justice Department about the
potential consequences of its legal theory: If the government's lawsuit were successful, she said, the resulting protections for detainees would be strong enough to
"actually incentivize illegal crossings at the southern border." In other words, if it is serious about about cracking down on immigration, protecting children from the threat of taxpayer-funded sexual violence may not be in the Trump administration's best interests.

Today is January 6th and no one is watching the Capitol be plundered, feces being smeared on the walls, and police officers being stabbed with American flags. Why? Because one side believes in democracy no matter what, and the other side only believes in it only when they win.

Old enough to remember when Bill Clinton letting donors sleep in the Lincoln Bedroom was the biggest controversy of the year. Now a gov't contractor spends over $200 million to buy an election, and the President-elect is just handing the government over to him. This should be a 🚨 story every day.
