in real terms, #7 would give states leverage to put an end to surges, #8 would give states the ability to outright stop construction of new detention facilities, #1 and #6 would slow the rate at which DHS could train and deploy officers, #2 and #10 would likely shrink the pool of recruits

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

The 78-year-old Janet Mills has a very inspiring campaign message: "I'm too old to care."

Asked how hard the race would be, Mills deadpanned.

“None of it’s going to be easy, but hey, what are they going to do to me?” she said. “I’m too old to care.”

Civil litigator here with years of experience of business people’s emails to each other in disclosed evidence for disputes. As a general rule: the senior the business person, the less effort they put into emails, and the more effort expected from those reading them. Effectively a mark of rank.

Seeing that photo of Obama putting the Medal of Freedom on Tom Homan circulate again. It's fake. Homan did get a civil service award during the Obama administration, but it wasn't the Medal of Freedom, it wasn't a medal (it was a certificate), and Obama didn't present it to him in person.

Federal judge has ordered the release of Liam Ramos (the bunny hat boy) and his father. A brief and rather remarkable order. Clearly written to be shared widely, so please do. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Ultimately, Petitioners may, because of the arcane United States immigration system, return to
their home country, involuntarily or by self-deportation. But that result should occur through a more
orderly and humane policy than currently in place.
Philadelphia, September 17, 1787: "Well, Dr. Franklin, what do we have?" "A republic, if you
can keep it."
With a judicial finger in the constitutional dike,
It is so ORDERED.
SIGNED this 31st day of February, 2026.

Absolute amateur hour at DOJ; they didn’t even respond to a “hey you forgot to attach the thing” request.

This complaint warrants dismissal.
The Subject Judge's March 11 Comment. The primary theory of the complaint is that the judge made an improper statement at the Judicial Conference on March 11 about the risk that the Administration would not comply with federal judicial rulings. This claim fails to establish a cognizable basis of misconduct. First, it lacks "sufficient evidence" to support the allegations. Judicial-Conduct Rule 11(c)(1)(D). Here is the key allegation in the complaint: "On March 11, 2025, at one of the Conference's semiannual meetings, Judge Boasberg disregarded its history, tradition, and purpose to push a wholly unsolicited discussion about 'concerns that the Administration would disregard rulings of federal courts, leading to a constitutional crisis. By singling out a sitting President who was (and remains) a party to dozens of active cases, Judge Boasberg attempted to transform a routine housekeeping agenda into a forum to persuade the Chief Justice and other federal judges of his preconceived belief that the Trump Administration would violate court orders."Compl. Compl. at The The Department identified one source of evide, Attachment A, for the judge's statement and for the setting in which it occurred. The complaint, however, did not include the attachment
The D.C. Circuit contacted the
Department about the missing attachment and exp
ed that, if it failed to submit the
attachment, the circuit would consider the complaint as submitted. The Department did not supply the attachment.

Democrats can and must make it clear there will be trials and anyone even somewhat associated with ICE will face them. Maybe give a quit-your-job deadline on appeasement and give people 72 hours. I don't know. But currently the plan is to let them murder us in the street and get away with it.

/8 A huge part of what makes it very hard to convict Jonathan Ross for murder was baked into America generations before Trump was President. That’s the primary factor that lets law enforcement kill with impunity, not Trump. Dick Wolf has killed more black men than Leopold II.

I think I'm just realizing because of all the open Islamophobia from both the right and centrist boomers during the Mamdani campaign, that most people under 45 in urban areas know Muslims and see them as real human beings and ... like, normal, where older/rural-er Americans don't know any.
