beyond what Steve says, I think the OP‘s argument is a trial balloon for just outright ignoring court orders and if that is not what he means he should clarify

So the argument is that Congress giving *judges* this power ≠ Congress giving *courts* this power?

Umm…

State College man allegedly held at Mo-Valley ICE Center despite vacated murder conviction Subramanyam “Subu” Vedam was taken into federal immigration custody Friday, immediately after being released from a Pennsylvania state prison, where he served 4

Indian man wrongly convicted of murder released from prison after 43 years. He’s then immediately arrested by ICE on a detainer from the 1980s.

time CultS -d 8 claire's NOTICE OF STORE CLOSURE To Our Valued Customers, This Claire's location has been permanently closed. The decision reflects both external pressures & internal restructuring. In recent months, repeated attacks of ridicule by radical left agitators have gone beyond mere criticism, escalating into a deliberate effort to destabilize our company - conduct we recognize as Domestic Economic Terrorism. At the same time, our transition under new private equity ownership required difficult financial choices. Protecting the stability of shareholders was prioritized, & this store - along with its local workforce - was deemed expendable in service of that obligation. Despite these challenges, Claire's remains committed to our identity as a traditional American company rooted in values of family & community. We will not be silenced by those who attempt to undermine that mission, & we continue to move forward with confidence in our future. Here at Claire's, we look forward to working with the current administration to reinvigorate our brand presence across the United States, ensuring that we remain a part of American life for generations to come. We invite you to continue supporting Claire's by shopping online at www.claires.com Thank you for your attention to this matter. Claire's Stores, Inc. 2400 West Central Road, Hoffman Estates, IL 60192 | Claire's Stores, Inc. | CBI Distributing Corp.

THE RADICAL LEFTISTS HAVE KILLED OUR BUSINESS
[also we got bought out by private equity who shuttered the store and fired everyone]
BUT IT WAS MOSTLY THE RADICAL LEFTISTS
also can we have a federal bailout 🥹

Bad Bunny responds to his Super Bowl critics in Spanish, and then English: “And, if you didn’t understand know what I just said, you have four months to learn!”

This from @govpritzker.illinois.gov on @cnn.com

“Federal officers were flanked by videographers, toting professional equipment and wearing high-visibility vests. They filmed from behind the lines of officers, capturing the show of force. At least two drones swept over the scenes.”

Samuel Alito says he isn't calling for overturning same-sex marriage ruling An appeal currently pending at the court is asking for the landmark decision, in which the conservative justice dissented, to be cast aside.

This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

The very first statute authorizing domestic use of the military during domestic emergencies, enacted in 1792 by a Congress full of the same folks who wrote and ratified the Constitution, expressly provided for judicial review in certain circumstances *before* the President could even send troops.

Taking stock of the Roberts court at 20—and the shadowy forces that built it "Roberts will go down in history as the most destructive chief justice."

“This is now a MAGA court, and Roberts is at the helm.”

I spoke with @thelisagraves.bsky.social about John Roberts' road to Supreme Court, his legacy after 20 years as chief justice, and how he's empowered Trump.

Trump just ordered his secret police to arrest anyone who burns the flag and imprison them for a year. Stephen Miller just issued new threats to arrest leftists.

Every time the fascism escalates, the logic should be that Dem resistance stiffens, as Sen Chris Murphy says in our pod discussion:

Everytime I listen to Stephen Miller I think of this one angry nerdy bitter kid I went to high school with who used to have just one line in his AIM profile, the Radiohead lyric:

“When I am king, you will be first against the wall”

This isn't subtle or metaphorical: Stephen Miller has repeatedly declared the federal government will use violence against officers of the legal system. Now he's calling a federal judge part of "an organized terrorist attack" and saying it's an "absolute necessity" to deploy troops against her.

*DEVELOPING*: I've updated my scoop with previously unreported details about the State Dept. staffer who requested the sword, NARA's response, and that the gift Trump gave King Charles III wasn't even a replica of Eisenhower's West Point Officer's Sabre:

Dear Secretary McMahon,

Our offer is this: Nothing. Not even the fee for the gaming license, which we would appreciate if you’d put up personally.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

Tweet from the VP: Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It's been overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her. She is far wealthier than most. Yet she oozes with contempt. My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you'd be a much happier person if you showed a little gratitude

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.
