The Stop The Settlements Act would "prohibit anyone from importing any goods produced, wholly or in part, in any Israeli settlements or outposts in the West Bank (including East Jerusalem) or Gaza" like the UK's recently announced ban. It would also impose a comprehensive sanctions regime.
What the Bill Would Do:
Sanctions:
• The Stop the Settlements Act requires the President to sanction any foreign entity or individual that:
o Is responsible for, complicit in, or directly or indirectly engaged or attempted to engage in the
establishment of new Israeli settlements or outposts in the West Bank or Gaza on or after Sep 30,
2026
o Invests in or constructs infrastructure designed to facilitate the establishment of new Israeli
settlements or outposts or expand existing Israeli settlements or outposts
o Constructs or develops settlements in the area known as “E1,” a project that would cut the West
Bank in two and isolate East Jerusalem from the rest of the West Bank
o Facilitates the transfer of Israeli civilian population into Israeli settlements or outposts on or after
September 30, 2026
o Is a leader or official of any entity, including government entities, that has engaged in these
actions or of any entities sanctioned under this act.
• The bill would also allow for sanctions on any foreign entity or individual that:
o Participates in activities related to financing, planning, construction, expansion, or maintenance
of existing Israeli settlements or outposts that the President determines undermines the viability
of a future Palestinian state
o Assists, supports, or is owned or controlled by a sanctioned entity
• The sanctions to be imposed include revocation of visas, prohibitions on issuance of new visas, and the
blocking of a sanctioned entity’s assets that are in the jurisdiction of the United States.
• The bill includes the ability to waive sanctions for 12 months (renewable once), with reports to
Congress, and exemptions for humanitarian activities, in support of treaty obligations, and national
security activities.
Financial Crimes Enforcement Network Guidance:
• The Stop the Settlements Act would require the director of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network to
issue guidance to financial institutions regarding the activities subject to sancti…

It is both great that these passed and utterly damning that this is the best we could get. The last two in particular in any sane society would be ”never drive again” rather than debating how many points on a license or how long the suspension is.

One of the things to come from GamerGate was the gamification of torturing real, live women...hounding them out of their homes, making them look over their shoulders for years. It was treated as a joke, nbd, the work of a few bad apples--as all terrorism against women is--& that failure leads here.

SCOTUS’s shadow docket strikes again. Third-country removals are back on, using a policy that two federal courts have now ruled is unlawful.

The application is also treated as a petition for a writ of certiorari, and the petition is granted. The parties are directed to brief and argue the following questions: (1) Whether the district court had jurisdiction over Respondents' claims.
(2) Whether the
district court had
authority to enter classwide

(3) Whether the Government's Guidance on third-country removals
is unlawful under 8 U. S. C. §1231(b), the Due Process Clause, or
FARRA/CAT and its
implementing regulations. (4) Such other
questions that the Government determines are appropriate for the

You don't really need to know what a bond is. An easier way to think about it is just: "the cost of mortgages, corporate debt, and government debt all went up, and stock prices are being pulled down". That's what the interest rates mean. The broader economic implications follow from that.

The equities here could not be more one-sided. Defendants admit that they
provide a service without fully knowing how it works. 

This is not just any service. It is one that Defendants themselves concede poses an existential risk to the continued
survival of humankind. 

Defendants claim they cannot stop barreling forward with their potentially civilization-ending endeavors unless they are forced to do so by the
government. They have asked the government to tie them to the mast.
