Have I mentioned I love spring?! #iris #bloomscrolling
Montmartre iris in bloom; the upright petals are light purple with ivory-yellow edging, the falls are bright purple with ivory-yellow edging, and the base of the petals is bright yellow.

And the Big Beautiful Bill is going to make it better for them and worse for the rest of us. "Under the current federal income tax system, over half of the real-world income available to the top 0.1% of wealth-holders (those with $62m or more) goes totally untaxed."

The day will come when the bottom half rise up against these 800 families. "Just 800 families in the US are collectively worth almost $7tn – a record-breaking figure that exceeds the wealth of the bottom half of the US combined."

BREAKING: Federal judge finds that Trump exceeded his authority in his Alien Enemies Act proclamation addressing alleged members of Tren de Aragua, issuing a permanent injunction barring AEA proclamation-based removals from the Southern District of Texas.
Neither the Court nor the parties question the Executive Branch's authority and
responsibility to enforce federal laws and, along with local law enforcement agencies, to protect

Case 1:25-cv-00072

the nation's population. Neither the Court nor the parties question that the Executive Branch can
direct the detention and removal of aliens who engage in criminal activity in the United States.
The Executive Branch has and will continue to rely on the Immigration and Nationality Act to
remove aliens found to represent a danger to the country. The question that this lawsuit presents is whether the President can utilize a specific statute, the AEA, to detain and remove Venezuelan aliens who are members of TdA. As to that question, the historical record renders clear that the President's invocation of the AEA through the Proclamation exceeds the scope of the statute and is contrary to the plain, ordinary meaning of the statute's terms. As a result, the Court concludes
that as a matter of law, the Executive Branch cannot rely on the AEA, based on the Proclamation,
to detain the Named Petitioners and the certified class, or to remove them from the country.'Case 1:25-cv-00072
