Over on X, a tale of the madness currently playing out with student visas is currently going viral on the basis of an astonishing quote from a judge calling what the Trump administration is doing “Kafkaesque.” The lawsuit is one of Banias. law’s emergency TRO cases and the quote is from 5 days ago.

Closing down every avenue of lawful immigration & throwing out every immigrant you can, then bemoaning the lack of young people & wondering how to get American women to bear more children, is not the most rational combination of policies we’ve ever pursued.

Something is off here. There has been no confirmation the Secret Service was by her table when a man who sure sounds like a professional thief—or spy—took valuable, national security-implicating items from her. And there is no statement about who she was with. And she is rumored to be in an affair.

“When even members of the Senate are calling out the danger, it’s past time to act. Pete Hegseth is a threat to national security—Congress must hold him and this administration accountable.

What’s the over under that after Hegseth is ousted from the Pentagon, he finds his calling, and gets taken in by Erik Prince and Blackwater? I honestly believe that there should be an investigation into his time at Guantanamo. I have zero doubt that he committed war crimes & human rights violations

Frost: You want to talk about courts but the highest court in the land told Donald Trump what to do. Facilitate him coming back to the country. And guess what they did? They flipped the bird to the supreme court. That is not the rule of law

Trump is still pushing the complete lie that Abrego Garcia has “MS-13” tattooed on his knuckles. In a sane country we’d be talking about impeachment and removal.

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

A downright creepy afternoon note from JPM: “.. It is VERY quiet on our desk .. I can get behind buying high volume panic, but that is not this... this is a continued flight from USD denominated assets and no measure of retail flow, mutual fund flow or prime data will tell you when / if to buy.”

New Zealanders could be forgiven for thinking Pete Hegseth is just some embarrassing chud, and he is. But he also has a tattoo of the same phrase the Christchurch shooter used in his manifesto, and a staffer at one of his 'charities' reported him for chanting "kill all Muslims".

I love that Hegseth is forcing out half the Pentagon leadership in a search for 'leakers' while he's also just texting war plans to random numbers.

Frost: I still hold the supreme court is very much skewed to the right… But the fact the court is so skewed to the right even then they are still saying in a unanimous decision that he needs to be brought home shows that should not be a partisan issue

This is deranged. Jan. 6 defendants were repped by one of the best public defender offices in the U.S. They were more likely to be released pretrial & got comparatively light sentences. SCOTUS threw out a bunch of convictions, which almost never happens. They got gold-plated due process!

Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth is equally responsible and owns this. Your confirmation served as a stamp of approval and your judgment shouldn't be trusted. This goes for every failure of any official confirmed by the Senate.

Top advisers to Pete Hegseth say they have no idea why they were ousted. Dan Caldwell, Darin Selnick, and Colin Carroll say they "have not been told what exactly we were investigated for, if there is still an active investigation, or if there was even a real investigation of 'leaks' to begin with."

"This is a pattern. If one law firm capitulates, Trump goes after more. If one university, tech billionaire, media company capitulates, he goes after more. If we don't fight him now, when he’s only gone after one legal resident, then we can't act surprised when he ultimately goes after Americans."
