Whalp, this is pretty horrifying. SCOTUS will allow third-country removals without any additional process while the case is working its way through the 1st Cir. Justices Sotomayor dissents, joined by Justices Kagan and Jackson. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Crucially, the mother missed the hearing in 2018 because she was a child at the time, and it was her mother’s failure to bring her to the hearing which led to the deportation order. This is depressingly common.

Got my hands on an internal IRS report on how Direct File went this season. TLDR: pretty well. 94% of users said their experience was excellent or above average. That said, the IRS is reportedly killing the free tax filing service. www.nextgov.com/digital-gove...

Reminder: Nobel-prize winning PCR (1983), used in basically all genetic tech today, was only possible because of extremophile bacterium discovered in 1964 in Yellowstone funded by a small ~$80k NSF grant with no obvious application at the time. #science 🧪 www.richmondscientific.com/how-a-discov...

HOLY SHIT. The ban on any federal funding gender-affirming care includes stripping ACA plans of covering it as the essential care it is. I have an ACA plan. I live in a blue state, but I am about to lose access to treatments I need. We told you this was coming www.advocate.com/politics/ant...

Ken Paxton likely used a little known database that tracks RX records of controlled substances to target gender affirming care providers. Worse, he can access the prescription records of anyone without a warrant in over 37 states with an agreement with Texas. www.thedissident.news/texas-ag-ken...

Costco is a really popular subject for business-success case studies but I feel like business guys kinda lose interest when the upshot of the study is like "just operate with scrupulous integrity in all facets and levels of your business for four decades" and not some easy-to-fix gimmick
