To get this result, you need to treat a TRO as appealable (maybe), then ignore irreparable harm (there's none) and balance the equities against the plaintiffs (how). The Court is reaching out to give Trump this half-win.

If the government’s position is that being trafficked to El Salvador by Donald Trump and Stephen Miller amounts to a final and irreversible deprivation of all rights, then it seems to me every federal court has a duty to permanently enjoin the practice as soon as it possibly can.

Covington
Crowell & Morning
Freshfields
Manatt
Munger Tolles
Wilmer

What the House needs is a full re-institutionalization - a decentralization of power and a return to regular order.
It needs a return to the rule of law, rather than the current regime of omnipotent Speakers exercising ad hoc, arbitrary power.

CNN reports that these tariffs will be the largest tax hike in US history. Will Young Kim defend the voters in her district, or help destroy the economy in fealty to Trump?

There are no more speakers - but there are over 70 emailed public comments.
The Mayor, Tiffany Ackley, said "in light of the fact that this was brought on by one individual, I will be reading all of them".
She begins, asking the timer to be set. We'll share quotes from those emails as they go.
