Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

They have done so in reasoned and thoughtful written opinions—opinions that, in the nor- ‘mal course, we would get to parse, assess, and embrace or reject, while fully explaining our reasoning.
I really appreciate Justice Jackson contrasting the lower courts' meticulous and responsible approach to judging—extensive deliberations, written opinions—with the Supreme Court's slapdash, unreasoned work over the shadow docket. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

I wrote about Kash Patel's cringe, weird challenge coin. Perfect for him:

The lesson of the Trump era is to stick with your principles. He’s coming for you anyway, whether you do or not, so you might as well stick to your principles so people don’t laugh at you afterward and you can look yourself in the mirror.

“Pro-life” MAGA sure does love dictators who indiscriminately bomb innocent civilians daily, kidnap children, rig elections, plunder resources, jail journalists, torture and murder political opponents, and poison dissidents.

This is what happens when you have cosplaying imbeciles who aren’t remotely qualified for their job suddenly are thrust into a leadership position and are desperate to be seen as badass.
Loser.
weird how the actual answer, "he has been a habitual liar his entire life," is never considered here

They might look at what happened to the oligarchs in Russia. Sure, use tyrants to get rich. But you can be jailed as easy as anyone else.

Don’t worry about the paywall. No need to actually read the article. The point is clear.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

“Newsom declared that the state of California will pull funding from any university that caves to Trump’s extortion gambit. This is the right path for Democrats. Where they control levers of power, they should use them to create counterincentives.”

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year.
Republicans in Washington did this.
This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.
These are the lowest cost insurance options for a 62 year old Georgian making $65k.
2025: $228
2026: $1142
She will lose $704/month in credits because of GOP cuts to health care.
This is a crisis. We cannot wait to fix this.

BREAKING
YouTube has agreed to pay $24.5 million to settle the lawsuit brought by President Trump against the company for suspending his account.
Most of the funds will go towards the fund the president setup for the White House ballroom.

"I'll just go use official force to coercively raise my own revenue (a/k/a taxes!) and then spend it on whatever government stuff I decide I want to do" is complete and total executive tyranny, Congress reduced to nothing but a powerless sham legislature, a head of state with absolute power.

So lame. Trump’s weakness fails to restrain Netanyahu. Now Trump wants to appear tough. If he was tough, it never would have happened.
