Well I never ! Who could possibly have predicted the rapid collapse of the ‘bonhomme’ between Elon Musk and President Trump??

Forgive me, but IF the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ contains provisions forbidding the States, from enacting laws regulating Artificial Intelligence for 10 years, can some one please specifically identify to me the Constitution’s Art 1 ‘enumerated’ power, authorising Congress to enact such a prohibition ??

WDAG) v Lambeth LBC [2025] EWHC 1111 Subject to appeal, Lambeth’s West Dulwich Low Traffic Neighbourhood’ traffic scheme has been quashed by High Court as unlawful. Is council liable to refund circa £1 Million it recovered from motorists in fines & penalties??Oops!! www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/u...

As a legislator, wasn’t it basically MTG’s job to read & scrutinise the latest draft version of the ‘B B Bill’ BEFORE she affirmatively voted to enact it ? Didn’t same MTG recently mock attendees at her Town Hall event for being gullible enough to believe what they were told ?

Khalil v Trump Following last week’s determination K likely to win on merits with 5th Amnd challenge to Rubio’s foreign policy designation, parties to further file by 10 June on whether K suffers ‘irreparable harm’ when he’s now detained on basis separate to Rubio ie non disclosure…

USA - Non partisan Congressional Budget Office report estimates that, in the form passed by the House last month, the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ is predicted to add a whopping $2.4 Trillion to the US National Debt over the next 10 years…

After their trial in Romania &, if extradited to UK, Andrew Tate (38) will face 10 criminal charges. His brother Tristan Tate (36) will face 11 Charges for both will include rape ABH, human trafficking and controlling prostitution. The Tates vigorously deny all charges and any wrong doing.

Khalil v Trump K sought preliminary injunction. I respectfully agree with DJ’s rulings yesterday that: 1/ K unlikely to win 1st Amnd retaliation claim; but 2/ K is likely to succeed on the merits with his 5th Amnd as applied ‘vagueness’ challenge, to Rubio’s s. 1227 decision.

The restriction on courts’ enforcing contempt citations is in s. 70302 of the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’. In essence it says if, when the injunction was issued, the Plaintiff did not give a security bond, pursuant to FCPR 65(2), the court can not enforce a contempt citation for breach of that injunction.

Oh I see… In addition to his experience as an asst US Attorney for NY, Dep US AG, Trump’s nominee to 3CA, 44 yr old Emil Bove III, was also formerly one of Trump’s ‘personal’ lawyers. He’s a shoe in. An expert on the Rule of Law I gather…?

Billionaire Elon Musk is disappointed with the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ because “the spending raises the deficit.” I suppose any ‘cause and effect’ analysis is viewpoint biased? In my eyes the income tax cuts, not the public spending, are the key upward drivers of the US deficit. But there it is.

London - CPS announced intention to indict Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate on 21 criminal charges including rape and human trafficking. CPS has issued European Arrest Warrants for the brothers. Reported Romanian Court has ordered them to attend court for extradition proceedings.

DVD v S/S DHS S/S SCOTUS stay application of DJ Murphy’s order revealing. IMAO if DHS compliant with prior order, production of DHS records of process for 8 would prove - defeating claim ? Instead she appears to assert entitlement to complete, arguably unlawful deportation process, thwarting remedy

Trump warns CEO of Apple Inc that, unless 🍏 agrees NOT to switch its non US iPhone 📱factories to India 🇮🇳, Trump plans 50% US import tarrifs on 📱& similar. Just to bend 🍏 to his will, Trump appears willing to inflict economic harm on 🇺🇸company & increase prices to US consumers! How’s that freedom?

NEW: Judge Burroughs GRANTS Harvard's requested TRO against the Trump administration, blocking it from revoking Harvard's ability to enroll international students during early court proceedings.

IMAO Trump et al’s decision to revoke immigration status of Harvard University’s foreign students is arbitrary capricious unfair and unlawful. Isn’t it basically the executive’s equivalent to a legislative ‘Bill of Attainder’ ? Also inflicts harm on new foreign students without any due process.

I wonder if the majority of American citizens will ever wake up? Why aren’t they realising that Trump isn’t the only bad actor here? The critical constitutional question is how has it come to pass that, the supposed ‘checks & balances’, aren’t functioning to stop him? They all swore oaths. So why ?
