She goes way beyond the purely textual points I made yesterday, including pointing to relevant Scotus and DC Circuit litigation.
“Jeff Clark, the MAGA goon … tried to escape discipline by the DC Bar on the exact same theory … and got laughed out of the DC Circuit.”

@lizdye.bsky.social wrote about the Trump DOJ’s ethics-rule gambit, and it’s deservedly brutal.
“The problem” with DOJ’s arguments for why their proposed rule isn’t illegal, she patiently explains, “is that all of that is bullshit.”

This is an abomination.

Relevant to this soft-glam fascist's comments today, there's a bill in Florida to ban prescribing birth control to minors—or even giving teens information about it—without parental consent. It's called HB 173
The attacks on contraception are, and have been, in motion
It's one thing to get a "no true bill."
It's quite another to get *shut out* in the grand jury.

This is such a bonkers misstatement of the law by Pam Bondi’s terminally online deputy that I really hope this judge-appointed U.S. attorney challenges this.
Yes, Congress has allowed Article III judges to appoint U.S. attorneys, and yes, the Constitution explicitly contemplates this possibility.
Brutal but important explainer thread. See ## 1-30.
Given what the Florida legislature has gotten up to during the DeSantis administration, it’s likely very good that they’ve not actually been successful in getting anything done.
Why did so many people miss what Trump was really planning to do on immigration? The people who voted for him but are upset about how it’s playing out.
We had Project 2025. And this, from his own lips, is when everyone should have known…
“They’re poisoning the blood of our country.”

This is literally what CURRENT LAW requires. It’s in the Constitution! www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

MEMORANDUM FOR: All ICE Personnel
FROM: Todd Lyons Acting Director
SUBJECT: Utilizing Form I-205, Warrant of Removal
On January 20, 2025, President Donald J. Trump issued Executive Order 14159, Protecting the American People Against Invasion, directing the Secretary of Homeland Security to "ensur[e] the successful enforcement of final orders of removal." 90 Fed. Reg. 8443, 8444 (Jan. 20, 2025) (E.O. 14159). Essential to the removal of aliens subject to final orders of removal is the ability to locate and arrest them. To this end, certain supervisory immigration officers within both Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) are authorized to issue an administrative warrant, Form I-205, Warrant of Removal (Form 1-205), for the arrest of an alien with a final order of removal. 8 C.F.R. § 241.2(a)(1). All U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) special agents and deportation officers are authorized to execute Forms 1-205. 8 C.F.R. § 287.5(e)(3)(iii) - (y)
Although the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has not historically relied on administrative warrants alone to arrest aliens subject to final orders of removal in their place of residence, the DHS Office of the General Counsel has recently determined that the U.S. Constitution, the Immigration and Nationality Act, and the immigration regulations do not prohibit relying on administrative warrants for this purpose. Accordingly, in light of this legal determination, ICE immigration officers may arrest and detain aliens subject to a final under of removal issued by an immigration judge, the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), or a U.S.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreifrzrvaszfhj4bzhgtyvx3fm6ht4kc2zrwtvozijyxl3zxgp7vx6a)
ICE secretly told its officers that any time someone has been ordered removed, ICE can break down their door.
It has been accepted for generations that the only thing which can authorize agents to break into your home is a warrant signed by a judge. No wonder ICE hid this memo!
🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
I try to avoid hyperbole when it comes to Trump policies, but this is absolutely frickin’ insane—on about eleventy different levels.
Massive, systemic Fourth Amendment violations because … reasons.
Perfect!
Philadelphia showed up on MLK Jr. Day.
From the Immigration Court at 9th & Market to ICE’s field office, the city marched in defiance: against ICE raids, against state violence, against the killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis.
Dr. King taught us: justice requires action. Philly answered.
OMG! Miami Beach!
"I've asked them to get their affairs in order to make sure they have their wills written... because it may be that now is no longer the time for statements, but for us with our bodies to stand between the powers of this world and the most vulnerable..."

People in Minnesota are now using their key fobs to trigger their car alarms from the safety of their homes when they see ICE walking around.
I agree. Excellent, short piece.
seriously these results are a roadmap to demands for the upcoming budget battle: criminal liability if they break the law, no masks and mandatory IDs, no new funding and clawing back as much as last year’s funding as possible.
The Iranian regime’s thugs are brutal to this woman. Glad I live in a democracy where this would never happen.

Jack Nicklaus has been a hometown hero for forever it seems, but I’m so disappointed in his support for Trump.
