The case challenging the first-ever presidential firing of a Fed governor will almost certainly make it to the Supreme Court — where the extremity of conservatives’ mission to drive the independent agency into extinction will be tested.

In front of the White House today, a man was arrested for burning the American Flag. It's the first documented defiance of Trump's unconstitutional EO. With multiple legal firms challenging the order, this arrest crystallizes the collision of civil liberties and authoritarian governance.

NEW: McCarthyism returns to immigration law, as @USCIS announces that it will begin screening applicants for immigration benefits for "Anti-America ideologies or activities." The term has no prior precedent in immigration law and its definition is entirely up to the Trump admin.

August 19, 2025 PA-2025-16
Policy Alert
SUBJECT: Clarifying Discretionary Factors in Certain Immigration Benefit Requests
Purpose
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is updating policy guidance in the USCIS
Policy Manual regarding the factors that officers may consider in certain benefit requests where an
exercise of discretion is required, including factors relating to aliens’ past requests for parole and
any involvement in anti-American or terrorist organizations.
Background
For certain immigration benefit requests, such as adjustment of status, the alien bears the burden of
proof to demonstrate that a favorable exercise of discretion is warranted.1 For these benefit requests,
the discretionary analysis is a separate component of adjudicating the benefit request which occurs
after an officer determines whether all threshold eligibility requirements have been met. The act of
exercising discretion involves weighing positive and negative factors and considering the totality of
the circumstances in each case. There are various factors officers may consider when conducting a
discretionary analysis, including facts relating to an alien’s conduct, character, family ties,
immigration history, and any humanitarian concerns.
USCIS guidance provides that an alien’s compliance with immigration laws is a relevant factor when
determining if a favorable exercise of discretion is warranted. USCIS is updating the Policy Manual
to provide additional guidance for officers on the significant negative discretionary weight USCIS
assigns in circumstances where an alien has endorsed, promoted, supported, or otherwise espoused
the views of a terrorist organization or group, including those who support or promote anti-American
ideologies or activities, antisemitic terrorism, antisemitic terrorist organizations, and antisemitic
ideologies, in any case involving an exercise of discretion.2
In cases where the alien has engaged in such activities, USCIS will enforce all relevant …

During his interview with Trump on Air Force Once Bret Baier didn't push back at all when Trump made false statements about the history of inflation in the U.S. This is not something that is debatable. Inflation was much higher when Trump was a businessman in the 70's and 80s.
