This is splitting the baby, in everything the metaphor implies. It dulls some immediate pain threatened but not enough. And it puts the union in an impossible position, jurisdictionally, which it shouldn't be given the APA claims against the agency re: DOGE's meddling. Those belong in this court.

Costco and Trader Joes are yin and yang. Together they form a harmonious balance. One sells big piles of normal food, the other sells small piles of weird food. These are the two food piles people need

That stuff won't happen. And if it does, it won't be that bad. And if it is, that's not a big deal. And if it is, that won't be his fault. And if it is, he won't have meant it. And if he did, you'll have deserved it.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

The amicus brief of AMERICA’S FUTURE, GUN OWNERS OF AMERICA, INC., GUN OWNERS FOUNDATION, et Al., may it not surprise anyone, is absolute horseshit. They cite cases for a proposition that, when read in its entirety, does not even apply or goes contrary to their arguments.

What Trump lawyers are doing by invoking Native people to defend the unconstitutional birthright citizenship EO is incredibly cynical and harmful. But this is not an accurate description of the cynical, harmful thing they are doing, and it's creating a lot of confusion. Brief thread.

1. Per settled con law doctrine, state officials can’t be commandeered into enforcing federal law. 2. Noted liberal squish Antonin Scalia wrote one of the two major opinions setting out the commandeering doctrine. 3. The memo doesn’t mention this, because apparently federalism is for losers now.

Second lawsuit filed against the birthright citizenship EO. Given the 30 day delayed implementation, there will undoubtedly be at least one court order blocking the program before then. I'll also add that I will personally judge any DOJ lawyer defending this. Either refuse or quit. Period.

This lawsuit is about the June 2024 asylum restriction that Biden put into effect, which was justified in part by the existence of alternate legal pathways like CBP One. Eliminating that pathway now makes this regulation less defensible. Trump will aim to replace it, exact method still unclear.
