“Patel is apparently planning a trip to Russia, a country that (a) is no friend of the United States nor the FBI specifically and yet (b) is quite friendly with Patel, including via a ‘Russia-linked production company’ that evidently previously paid Patel $25,000 to appear in an anti-FBI TV series.”

This is one of the most maddening thigns about this court: Not just the substantive rulings, but how they think about “irreperable harm.” If the Most Special Boy has to wait a month to do a thing he REALLY wants to, that’s irreperable harm. Actual large-scale human suffering? Meh.

NEW: An investigation by Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell found 52 of 60 potential noncitizens flagged by a error-prone federal system known as SAVE are actually citizens. Last week, SCOTUS said President Donald Trump's administration can use the tool. Read: www.votebeat.org/arizona/2026...

When Trump launched “the largest deportation operation in the history of our country” without ICE facilities to accommodate it, inhumane overcrowding was inevitable. Judge Kaplan’s 9/24 ruling shows the results. Diagrams simulating a NYC holding cell in Aug 2025 look like slave ships. 1/5

Fun fact: the only surgeries performed on trans youth in the US are breast reductions, which are far more common for cisgender youth (by, like 50 times), and are perfectly legal for both male and females (if they're cisgender). ~ 250 per year for trans youth, and ~12,500 for others.
