Need a slapstick buddy comedy about how these two unlikely bros hop around the globe to “negotiate peace,” but somehow end up stuffing their pockets and setting everything on fire before jetting off to the next negotiation.

There are 2 troubling things people should understand about all the reporting of Army Secretary Driscoll going to Trump to complain about Hegseth before resigning. 1, that Trump did not know what Hegseth was doing is a myth. 2, that Trump would want Hegseth to stop is a delusion.

Then the Haitians did it The Right Way. And now after Americans lured them here and practically begged them to come to Springfield — Springfield! — now they’re having Trump’s armed secret police inflicted on them, and being told they all need to go back to an incredibly dangerous place or else

NEW FROM ME: The Great Delegalization. There are now (almost certainly far more than) 1M immigrants who were protected from deportation on Jan 20, 2025, and no longer are. It’s the result of a problem that’s been building for 30 years—& now only Congress can fix. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

These Immigrants Lived in the U.S. Legally. Now Trump Is Changing Their Status.
More than a million immigrants are seeing protections that granted them safe lives in the U.S. suddenly swept away.

“The idea wasn’t just to retroactively protect ‘the babies of slaves’; it was to prospectively forestall future efforts to deny citizenship based on whatever other non-sovereignty-based criteria might be politically popular in any given moment.” Me on why Trump’s new EO is *still* unconstitutional:

243. Birthright Citizenship, Redux
President Trump's new attempt to cabin birthright citizenship is a lot narrower than the one the Supreme Court struck down in June. Its key provisions are still unconstitutional.

NEW: A California DA was prosecuting Stanford students for felonies over pro-Palestine protests. Bolts reported back in February that he was fundraising off these cases. Learning this, defense attorneys dug more, & filed a motion to force Rosen off the case for bias. A judge just removed him:

It is objectively bad for democracy that both blue and red states are doing extreme gerrymanders. But the only feasible solution — a national ban on partisan gerrymandering — has only been endorsed by one party. And it's not the one complaining about Virginia right now.

Becker: The DOJ has been hollowed out. They’re the losingest law firm in America right now. They’re going to lose. The president simply does not have this power. This executive order is about as effective as if I wrote it in crayon on a napkin. It just doesn’t mean anything legally.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist. He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.
