About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”

A judge ruled EPA termination of environmental justice grants was unlawful. EPA cannot “thumb its nose at Congress” by refusing to spend appropriated funds, the judge wrote.

Warnock: You literally have, in real time, the leader of another nation-state—in this case, South Africa—there to talk to him about trade, and he’s saying, “Sorry, Mr. President, we don’t have a plane to offer you.” And you see why we have an Emoluments Clause in the first place.

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison. It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

BUT the majority says Venezuelan migrants MUST be given notice that they're being deported under the Alien Enemies Act and an opportunity "to actually seek habeas relief" before they're removed. The majority affirms their right to due process—this is a big deal. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

“It is well established that the Fifth Amendment entitles aliens to due
process of law” in the context of removal proceedings. Reno
v. Flores, 507 U. S. 292, 306 (1993). So, the detainees are
entitled to notice and opportunity to be heard “appropriate
to the nature of the case.” Mullane v. Central Hanover
Bank & Trust Co., 339 U. S. 306, 313 (1950). More specifically, in this context, AEA detainees must receive notice after the date of this order that they are subject to removal
under the Act. The notice must be afforded within a reasonable time and in such a manner as will allow them to
actually seek habeas relief in the proper venue before such
removal occurs

Yes SCOTUS repudiated the Trump/Stephen Miller position that AEA deportees are entitled to no process at all But requiring such “notice as will allow them to actually seek habeas relief in the proper venue before such removal occurs" is woefully insufficient Nevertheless—habeas here we come

Kristi Noem billed South Dakota taxpayers more than $640,000 in personal travel-related costs, including a six-day trip to Paris, a bear hunt in Canada, a trip to Houston for dental work to fix her smile, and a book tour. But she can afford a $50,000 Rolex for a prison porn photo op in El Salvador.

Kristi Noem refused to say who financed some of her travel. It was taxpayers who were on the hook

An Associated Press analysis of recently released travel records found more than $150,000 in expenses tied to Noem’s political and personal activity.

The reason that the US is locking up tourists for weeks in hellish detention centers rather than letting them book tickets back home is because the detention centers are owned by corporations. They are charging the taxpayers fortunes to cage these people, and making bonanzas off their suffering.
