From the article: "Data from the Marine Exchange of Puget Sound, an industry association, shows the number of arriving container ships berthing at Seattle and Tacoma terminals from April 1 to April 24 was down 12% compared with the same period in 2024...."

Whether Judge Boasberg was correct on the law is largely irrelevant to whether the government is in contempt for willfully disobeying it. If the Trump administration knew there was an order from a federal judge and then willfully violated it, that is the end of the analysis.

"The ACLU, which filed the lawsuit that led to Boasberg’s temporary restraining order on deportations, said it was asking the government whether the removals to El Salvador were in defiance of the court." The world wants to know.

Warning: "President Trump’s proclamation turns the Alien Enemy Act on its head. ...If left unchecked, it would set an extraordinarily dangerous precedent for using self-serving and counterfactual assertions by the President as a basis for short-circuiting the ordinary processes the law requires."

Reminder: As a practical matter, the idea that America literally ever had a uniform Christian culture is an imagined falsehood. There have been/are many, many Christian sub-communities in the U.S. with wildly different values, and some actively murdered each other. religionnews.com/2024/10/30/w...

NOTE: If Trump/Musk really cared about identifying "waste, fraud, and abuse," they wouldn't have fired all the Inspector Generals, who actually have the expertise to do it

I would like to make an argument that Trump is taking a "great man" approach to the presidency. What does that mean? 😱 I'm afraid that it is not good. First, Hegel: “The great men in history are those whose own particular aims contain the substantial will that is the will of the World Spirit..."

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

I hear people say Trump is dismantling our democracy and no one is stopping him. Not so! Lawyers are the super heroes, with lawsuits and judges standing up for the rule of law. Check out the litigation tracker in justsecurity.org.

"I want to warn the country of some things that give me great concern. That's the dangerous concentration of power in the hands of a very few ultra wealthy people and the dangerous consequences if their abuse of power is left unchecked. Today, an oligarchy is taking shape" --Joe Biden

Canadian MP Charlie Angus responded to Trump's proposal to make Canada the 51st U.S. state by noting that existing laws prevent "sexual abusers" from leading his nation.

I think this might be a mistake. To honor the memory of Jimmy Carter, Governor Stitt has ordered flags on state property to fly at half-staff until the end of the day on Tuesday, December 31st. Biden's order says 'til January 28, 2025.

The threat to invade and capture Greenland is a loyalty test, isn't it? It's to determine which generals are willing to draw up the plans and give the orders. If an officer balks, out the door they go. It will be Trump's way of purging the military.
