So — what I don't understand is if the WH will continue to violate the law til courts say not to, what kind of accountability is possible for breaking the law to begin with?

ALSO - it's really important to know, abortion stories end up being censored by search AND a lot of social media. Which is why so many different news outlets aren't reporting these essential stories. I don't know how to fight back against this legally but someone should

Exactly! You can't go on TV and talk about how you're a "corporate lawyer" and WORK as a lead council for a group when you're not really a lawyer. You just went to law school

So one of my theories about Katie Zacharia is that Susie Wiles was pissed Trump went behind her back and then threw her in the deep end on day 2 knowing she'd crash and burn. Assuming Hannity's humiliation is an extension of that effort by Wiles to say. See, this is why I need make these decisions

Trumpers recklessly expended limited supplies of sophisticated weapons systems on a war of choice, including because they were wholly unprepared for predictable Iranian drone attacks (which Ukrainian technology could have been used to combat). And Trump is blaming ... Ukraine.

9th Cir. holds that California's law requiring federal law enforcement to visibly display ID while on duty violates the supremacy clause. Remanded with instructions to grant a PI blocking California's ID requirement. cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/op...
We previously granted the United States’s motion for an injunction pending appeal.  See United States v. California, 173 F.4th 1060, 1063 (9th Cir. 2026).  As before, we conclude that the United States is likely to succeed on the merits of its Supremacy Clause claim because § 10 of the No Vigilantes Act attempts to directly regulate the United States in its performance of governmental functions, and Congress has not authorized such regulation.  Indeed, we conclude that the United States is certain to succeed.  The other preliminary injunction factors also weigh in its favor.  Thus, we reverse and remand and instruct the district court to enter a preliminary injunction enjoining the State of California, its Governor, and its Attorney General from applying or enforcing § 10 of the No Vigilantes Act, S.B. 805, 2025 Gen.
