Finally got around to reading Navarro's full statement. Much respect for putting it out there for awareness. Knowing someone dear to me having to deal with Hashimoto's disease, I can't even begin to imagine what an athlete, who suffers from it, must be going through. Best wishes to Emma ✔️

Lucky break for Hearn's prosecutors? After dismissing the case with prejudice, Judge Edelman, in the last footnote, declines to rule one way or another on whether feds acted in bad faith. Prosecutors have an excuse not to pursue a lousy case and avoid a damning finding. buff.ly/wu0xyjN

Important; it’s an immigration judge, who unlike federal judges are under the direct supervision of the Administration, which has been pushing out judges they feel are unduly biased towards immigrants.

Nice headline to go with this photo. Turns out this announcement is just like the "I'll give everyone $5000" bit.

As promised, I wrote about what really bothers me about Tuesday's unsigned, unexplained #SCOTUS ruling clearing the way for the resumption of third-country removals with minimal (if any) process. Turns out, it's a lot: www.stevevladeck.com/p/254-four-t...

254. Four Things That (Really) Bother Me About “D.V.D. III”
“Third-country removals” raise a host of difficult procedural and substantive questions. The Supreme Court should have answered those questions *before* greenlighting deportations to torture.

www.programmablemutter.com/p/in-praise-... Like O'Brien, the prospect of being completely forgotten gives me hope and a sense of peace.
Striving to be a Dorothea is a noble vocation, and likely the best we can hope for in any event; sooner or later, we will all be forgotten. In the long course of time, all of our arguments and ideas will be broken down and decomposed. At best we may hope, if we are very lucky, that they will contribute in some minute way to a rich humus, from which plants that we will never see or understand might spring.

If “irreparable harm” means anything, it means being sent to a country you’ve never seen, where you may well be imprisoned, tortured, or killed, under a policy that (the cert grant implicitly acknowledges!) may well be illegal

As a matter of logic you cannot be “hard working” if you rely on the state pension. I hope ministers will keep (start?) explaining that the state pension isn’t paid out of an investment fund but by the contributions of those currently working.
