A great deal happened today. But nothing more important than this. SCOTUS allows Trump Administration to continue sending detained migrants to third countries with which the migrants have no prior connection. Just appalling.

An 11th Cir panel has refused to reverse the district judge & stay the sanctions she imposed on the plaintiffs in the slush fund case, Trump v IRS, strongly suggesting it was a collusive lawsuit designed to deliver relief to the parties.

A couple quick observations here, which should be obvious. 1) insurance “risk pools” work by requiring younger/healthier people who make few or no claims to sign up and pay premiums alongside older/less healthy people who do, essentially covering their costs.
