A great deal happened today. But nothing more important than this. SCOTUS allows Trump Administration to continue sending detained migrants to third countries with which the migrants have no prior connection. Just appalling.

Today’s clown show at the Senate keeps going more ridiculous. The breaking point for me was when I was reminded that the committee chair (Grassley) is from Iowa, and learned that Schmitt went to university (Truman State) just around 30 miles from the border with Iowa!

A 2,300-year-old silver container in the shape of a scallop-shell decorated with an octopus 🐙 It may once have held cosmetics. From Paternò, Sicily. Altes Museum, Berlin 📷 by me #Archaeology
My photo shows a silver shell-shaped container with an eight-armed octopus in relief at the centre of the lid. The arms of the octopus curl outwards across the ridges of the shell’s surface. This ornate shell container has a hinged lid and may once have been a cosmetic container . It is displayed on a clear stand in a museum case. Dimensions: 13.3 × 13.2 × 3 cm. It is part of the Silver Treasure from Paternò, Sicily, a hoard discovered in 1909, consisting of tableware and toiletries. Dated 4th-3rd century BC.

How has the evidence base changed? What makes the evidence hard to generate, evaluate and use in clinical/policy decisions?

Today is the feast day of St Manchán. Manchán was an important figure in early medieval Ireland. He is thought to have been born somewhere in the north-east of Ulster in the early 7th century. He went on to found a monastery at Lemanaghan. His relics were housed in this spectacular shrine.

NEW: QueerDoc is seeking en banc review by the Ninth Circuit of the 2-1 decision from earlier this month siding with DOJ's invasive administrative subpoenas probing gender-affirming medical care provided to minors. Background: www.lawdork.com/p/ninth-circ...
By “avoid[ing] the clear error standard of review for factual findings,” Op.
86 (Paez, J., dissenting), the panel legally erred and issued a decision
that conflicts with numerous decisions of this Court, the Supreme Court,
and other courts of appeals, see Fed. R. App. P. 40(b)(2)(A)-(C).
In addition, the panel’s decision implicates questions concerning
the separation of powers that are of exceptional importance. See Fed. R.
App. P. 40(b)(2)(D). If allowed to stand, the panel’s decision will
significantly limit judicial review of administrative subpoenas issued to
harass and intimidate those associated with causes disfavored by the
President, rendering meaningless the statutory restraints imposed by
Congress to limit agencies’ investigative power.
This Court should grant rehearing en banc to resolve the conflicts
created by the panel’s decision and to address the important questions
raised by these proceedings.
