I hope I'm wrong about this, but I strongly suspect that the Supreme Court isn't done with the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case yet. When the Trump Administration ducks or refuses to implement parts of the new district court order, it'll be back to the 4th circuit and onto SCOTUS.

This was a very neat and focused sur-reply and it's a shame it wasn't admitted. But perhaps it's a sign that they're going to rule for him? If you were going to rule for the govt, you'd allow it in maybe?

Dept of Labor is hiring 8 new security hires to provide a permanent security detail for the DOGE-aligned Dep Secretary for abt $2 million a year. They're also relying on the US Marshals to deputize the new hires since there's no legal authority to guard the Dep. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/doge-...

This is a fascinating case. Trump admin senior officials, and Trump himself, claimed this guy was an "MS-13 leader." It's clear that this guy was illegally possessing guns. But when they took him to court, THIS was the only mention of MS-13 in any DOJ document. Now they're moving to drop the case.

Gotta say, I am not encouraged that SCOTUS has not yet resolved the El Salvador kidnapping case.

Oliver is underselling his scoop. It seems the White House censored a pool report that showed that Trump was violating yet another court order.

and of course, next time Trump says "buy stocks", everyone is going to buy just in case he's about to scrap a tariff or somesuch.

So Gretchen Whitmer was just standing there while Trump signed orders to prosecute his opponents? What? Why? I don't get it.

Less than 90 days ago, these people were whining that Joe Biden and Merrick Garland 'weaponised the Justice system'. Now Trump is basically signing Bills of Attainder in the Oval Office.

You know, it was on me that when they said "we're not a Democracy we're a Constitutional Republic" I thought they were serious about the Constitutional Republic part at least.

This past week, the Chinese learned 1) exactly where Trump's pain points are; 2) how much to squeeze them before he flinches; and 3) how little America's partners and allies want to help this president. Highly useful information.

So the official position is that because other countries didn't retaliate against the massive tariffs, the tariffs succeeded and could be suspended?

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

I was not previously aware that we had a system of government in which tax rates would fluctuate wildly from one day to the next depending on the president's desires.
