From Immergut opinion: "Pres is certainly entitled “a great level of deference ..But a great level of deference is not equivalent to ignoring the facts on the ground. Must reflect a colorable assement w/in a range of honest judgment. The President’s determination was simply UNTETHERED TO THE FACTS."

News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement. Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.

Our allies for a century all hate us, but at least the rulers of Saudi Arabia and Qatar appreciate how easy it is to get what they want from our govt, and appear to enjoy our president’s willingness to trade US govt policy for personal enrichment. So we have some friends.

RFK Jr., DOGE gutted legally required offices. Courts may undo it all. Federal workers, Democratic lawmakers, state officials and independent legal experts say keeping offices afloat in name only – with minimal or no staff – is an unconstitutional power grab.

Howard Lutnick on UK Deal: “They opened their market for the first time in 30 years for 5 billion in exports, while paying us 6 billion a year in tariffs” Fact check: The UK won’t pay a penny. American companies importing goods from the UK will pay the tariffs, and pass the cost on to consumers.
