I think something to consider here is that Collins voted to confirm Russ Vought as OMB Director despite the fact that he said a billion times that he thought Trump had a constitutional right to illegally impound funds, and now she’s doing shocked Pikachu reactions.

Without warning or consultation, Congress just received an $810 million package of pocket rescissions from the Administration. This is the most recent attempt by this Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to undermine Congress's Constitutional power of the purse.
This move shows that OMB intentionally withheld these funds for months to execute this unlawful cancellation of appropriations that were approved on a bipartisan basis and signed into law.Not only is the delay itself an impoundment that was not reported to Congress, but also it is a usurpation of Congress's appropriations powers.
OMB is an agency of the executive branch. It does not get to decide which programs are worth funding.
The independent Government Accountability Office has concluded that pocket rescissions are unlawful and not permitted by the Impoundment Control Act. Any effort to rescind appropriated funds without congressional approval is a clear violation of the law.
I will work with my colleagues to address these illegal actions.

Hospitals are using AI to submit insurance claims, insurance companies are using AI to dispute or deny them, and costs are up for everyone under this broken system. No more AI denials. No more unnecessary administrative costs. We need Medicare for All.
The image shows a New York Times article titled "Battle of Hospital A.I. vs. Insurer A.I. Is Pushing Medical Costs Higher."

Mahmoud Khalil filed a motion to reopen his case in front of the Board of Immigrations Appeals on the grounds that the process was preordained (true) and thus denied him the neutral magistrates required by due process (true) and they responded with basically “how DARE you cite the FAKE NEWS at us.”
As the primary new evidence in support of the motion, the respondent presents a May 8, 2026, New York Times article ("Article"), a May 13, 2026, affidavit from Andrea Sáenz ("Sáenz Affidavit"), a May 13, 2026, affidavit from Dana Leigh Marks ("Marks Affidavit"), and a May 14, 2026, affidavit from Ryan R. Wood. In general, a domestic media article consisting primarily of opinions with minimal (and anonymously-sourced) facts will almost never be sufficient evidence to warrant reopening. Nearly every well-known domestic media outlet operates with a particular ideological valence which must be accounted for in assessing the persuasiveness of its reporting and its evidentiary weight. See, e.g., AllSides Media Bias Chart, AllSides, https://www.allsides.com/media-bias/media-bias-chart (last visited Sept. 25, 2026); cf. Davis v. Alaska, 415 U.S. 308, 316 (1974) ("The partiality of a witness... is always relevant as discrediting the witness and affecting the weight of his testimony.") (citation modified); see also, e.g., John K. Maciver Inst. for Pub. Policy,
Inc. v. Evers, 994 F.3d 602, 611 (7th Cir. 2021)(recognizing that some media outlets are traditionally viewed as conservative leaning, such as the Washington Times, Wall Street Journal, Fox News, and Washington Examiner, whereas others are viewed as liberal leaning, such as the Capitol Times, New York Times, and Huttington Post). Media coverage of judicial decisions warrants particular skepticism because it is often focused on perceived nonlegal issues rather than the applicable law and legal reasoning actually at issue before the court. See, e.g., Barry Sullivan and Christina Camody Tilley, Supreme Court Journalism: From Law to Spectacle?, 77 Wash. & Lee L. Rev. 343, 343-344, 437-442 (2020) (concluding that contemporary media coverage of the Supreme Court by newspapers including the New York Times focuses primarily on the justices' presumed political and policy preferences rather than the legal issues they confront in the case before them, which can undermine public confidence in the Court as an institution). To be sure, "[a] publication can be accurate but still biased." AllSides Media Bias Chart, supra. But a publication that is (1)based on anonymous factual sourcing* supplemented by opinions of only individuals whose biases are aligned with that of the narrative of the story and who lack any firsthand knowledge of the facts at issue, (2) contains disputed facts, and (3) is clearly biased against the agency and in favor of the subject of the case warrants minimal, if any, weight, and is unlikely to be persuasive enough to warrant reopening. Further, taking action based on such an article would likely violate an Appellate Immigration Judge's ethical and professional duty to act in a neutral and detached manner.
