This thread and the piece at the end are incredible. SCOTUS ruled just before 1am and Chris wrote a thread through the night and published a full, polished analysis at 4:41am. I must note that Chris wrote this on the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s ride — to the hour.

NEW: The first excerpt from my book HUBRIS MAXIMUS details how Elon Musk raged over a Tesla death investigation in a 27-minute phone call, threatening to sue, eventually hanging up on the chairman of the NTSB. When the line went dead, investigators were stunned: "He hung up on us.” wapo.st/4jdONIx

“They walked the full length of the train and questioned every single passenger about their citizenship status. According to the conductor, who has worked nearly 40 years on that route, this was a first. In all his decades of service, federal agents have never boarded his train like this.”

Real quick as I'm losing steam: dismantling CFPB puts consumers in a worse position than they were in 2008. The consumer protection laws were still being enforced by the Fed and other agencies, just not particularly well. Now the signal is they won't be enforced at all.

Can district courts order the executive branch to engage in specific acts of diplomatic negotiation? If SCOTUS doesn’t think so now, why did it let Matthew Kacsmaryk force U.S. diplomats to negotiate the revival of a Trump border policy in 2021 after Biden tried to end it? slate.com/news-and-pol...

One thing that this saga and Trump's comments during it have made fairly clear is that as far as immigration is concerned — and possibly well beyond it — Stephen Miller is the president.

Context: The Trump administration is trying to use a procedural issue (the scope of the injunctions) to put the policy into effect across 99% of the country. It’s not formally asking the Court to uphold the executive order, but the relief it’s seeking would produce the same practical result.

Interesting research! Human beings are, by nature, extremely bad at noticing & appreciating the significance of gradual change over time. We notice binaries, on/offs, either/ors. "Winter temperatures gradually rising." - no one cares "Lake X used to freeze over; now it doesn't." - people notice
