The promise of $10-a-day daycare outside Quebec feels like it’s slowly dying under Mark Carney’s austerity agenda, just as the imperfect pharmacare program for diabetes drugs and contraception did before it.

It has fallen on me to coordinate my high school friend group for our 20-year reunion and I think it is slightly easier than herding cats, but I would probably rather plunge fifty toilets.

Through one email we got our daycare to agree to tighten restrictions on the use of LLMs for classroom decorations or "crafts," as well as a more explicit opt-in policy for any use of LLMs with the kids at all. Feels like a victory these days.

Oh man, I love me some split pea soup. It’s easy, and doesn’t have to be anything fancy. A little onion and carrot, a little ham, salt pepper. My big epiphany was realizing dried peas are not like dried beans, and will cook in a fraction of the time.

For our nonlawgeek friends, Thuraissigiam is a 2020 SCOTUS case that held that a noncitizen apprehended 25 yards within the United States border was “an alien at the threshold of initial entry” and therefore had no due process rights apart from those provided by statute.

9th Cir. holds that it violated due process to deny bond hearings for asylum seekers who entered without admission/parole, were screened for expedited removal, and who were found to have a credible fear of persecution or torture. Thuraissigiam does not apply. cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/op...
In sum, the government’s strictly circumscribed detention authority, a pillar of our common law tradition for almost a millennium, stands in contrast to the political branch’s “plenary authority to decide which aliens to admit.” Thuraissigiam, 591 U.S. at 139. Thuraissigiam was an admission, not a detention, case. For that reason, as well as because it was specifically limited to noncitizens at the “threshold of initial entry,” it has no application here, the government’s fervent pleas for its vast expansion notwithstanding. Id. at 107. Noncitizens who arrive illegally and are found away from the border well after arrival are protected from arbitrary detention in violation of the Due Process Clause.16  III. Conclusion The district court correctly concluded that (1) it has jurisdiction over this dispute and (2) Thuraissigiam does not bar the bond hearing class’s due process claim. The district court’s order denying the government’s motion to dismiss is AFFIRMED.
