This isn’t a difference of opinion. Ilan Wurman and Randy Barnett are straightforward liars.

Exclusive: ICC shuns US demands to drop Israel war crimes probe and amend treaty Washington also called for end to Afghanistan investigation and change to Rome Statute in return for lifting sanctions

In a back channeled "offer" to the International Criminal Court, the United States proposed dropping sanctions on ICC officials if the Court

•Dropped charges on Israeli officials and pledged not to indict anymore
•Stopped investigating crimes in Afghanistan
•Amended the ICC treaty

the ICC said: no

Trump’s DOJ is building a voter purge machine—powered by your private data The federal agency ordinarily would prevent attacks on voting rights. Now it’s carrying them out.

Trump’s Justice Department is hellbent on accessing our private voter information—Social Security numbers, party affiliation, driver's licenses—resulting in what experts warn would be a gold mine for hackers.

Becoming a U.S. citizen takes years and involves immigrants acquiring a green card, extensive interviews, background checks, classes and a citizenship test. The naturalization ceremony is the final step to the process, where the oath of allegiance and a citizenship certificate are granted. Immigrants approved to be naturalized went to Faneuil Hall Thursday - known as the country's cradle of liberty - for that long-awaited moment to pledge allegiance to the United States. But instead, as they lined up, some were told by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials that they couldn't proceed due to their countries of origin.

This is the piece that gets ignored too often. It's not just choosing not to vaccinate; it's essentially taking the choice away from those who do want it.

And they talk about freedom

Laws aren't real. They exist solely on account of buy-in from society's participants. Once one side disengages, you no longer reside in a society based on laws. You live in a society based on power and armed force. I am begging folks to accept this so we can get moving.

US raid allegedly killed Syrian undercover agent instead of Islamic State group official A recent U.S. operation in Syria mistakenly killed a man who had been working undercover against the Islamic State group, according to his family, a war monitor and officials.

First they came for the immigrants.

Then they came for trans people.

Then they came for the disabled and marginalized.

Then they started blowing up fishermen.

Now they’ve killed a man who was working undercover with the government.

No one is safe.

Let's be very clear that one of the major effects of the CDC no longer recommending various vaccinations is that it becomes much harder for folks who still want to be—or want their children to be—vaccinated to get their insurance providers to cover those vaccinations.

ICE just released new detention statistics.

As of November 30, 2025, ICE was detaining 65,735 people across the United States.

My ten cents is that newspapers should stop calling it a drug boat if there was never any evidence presented of it being a drug boat.

How and when exactly did a president acquire the authority to rule in all matters great and small by diktat?

Also, make sure you’re yelling to any potential customers to warn them that they’re going to get stuck with a bill for hundreds of dollars. They hide the price to fleece tourists, and if we make that impossible, the “industry” will die.

This story made me want to throw up. If you’ve ever delivered a baby, you immediately put yourself in her place and it’s intolerable. But everyone with a soul will find the cruelty on display here too much to bear.

this is really it — this case isn't about the legitimacy of birthright citizenship or the 14th amendment, it's about the legitimacy of the court, and any ruling that doesn't uphold the former decides the latter

Counterpoint:

The Supreme Court lacks the authority to change the text of the Constitution.

So either it affirms the text or (further, and more completely) nukes its authority as Constitutional arbiter.

There’s no third option. Art III (courts) can’t just usurp Art V (amendments).

Family says critically ill man was pressured into deportation order after 'Charlotte's Web' sweep Relatives of a 27-year-old Honduran man say he was denied dialysis and pressured into signing a voluntary deportation order after being detained during "Operation Charlotte's Web."

A 27 year old man in end stage kidney failure was told if he wanted his dialysis he has to sign self deportation papers.

“If you want to leave, sign. If not, you're going to die here."

One problem of mainstream legal journalism is treating constitutional subversions as horserace political coverage.

I don't know how to fix it, other than to urge news organizations to ... not do that.

"All is lost" narratives are popular because people generally do not want to take action. Taking action is tiring so if all is lost, you are off the hook. Nothing is more seductive than not having to do anything.

CDC panel recommends delaying birth dose of hepatitis B vaccine The CDC's ACIP panel voted to recommend delaying the birth dose of the hepatitis B vaccine, ending a policy that has reined in the virus.

This regressive move will literally kill people. It's making kids' liver cancer great again. And it's a sign of more harm to come.

DOJ's newest recruitment ad features Judge Dredd, the comic satire about the dangers of lawless policing and authoritarian power

Exclusive | Hegseth Asked Top Admiral to Resign After Months of Discord The relationship between the Pentagon chief and Adm. Alvin Holsey had been rocky since Trump’s inauguration.

Wow, Adm. Holsey didn't leave of his own accord, Hegseth pushed him out. What looked like the SOCOM head resigning rather than do war crimes now looks like SecDef canning him to facilitate war crimes.

Congress should have him testify, and would've already if war-crime-sympathetic GOP didn't run it.

Wilson Building Bulletin: The Chuck Brown post office is no-go Also: D.C. gets no deference from Congress, and there won't be a referendum on the tipped wage (though the fight isn't over)

If there’s one thing you’d think Congress could do without controversy, it’s renaming post offices.

But this week, a House committee quietly pulled Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton’s bill to rename one in Brookland for Chuck Brown, D.C.’s godfather of go-go.

@maustermuhle.bsky.social has the story:

Supreme Court at any time may issue 2 orders on its emergency docket that will greatly affect how Americans live over the next few years: one on legality of national guard troops in American cities and one on whether States like Texas can re-redistrict and get away with it on timing grounds for 2026

A picture of Senator Bill Cassidy.

ACIP may end universal Hep B vaccination today.

Hep B prevention is Cassidy's passion, as he made clear during RFK Jr's confirmation hearings.

But let's not forget... his vote to confirm RFK Jr. got us into this mess!

He needs to use every lever of power he has in the Senate to fix it.

I have been thinking about this for months. What's the point of Cassidy being a senator, a doctor, and now in the case of hepatitis-B, a gastroenterologist? What good is power if he doesn't use it to stop what's coming and roll back damage done? Even if it takes impeachment articles against Kennedy?

That last point. Cassidy really has enormous leverage if he wants to use it. He would win this fight. Worst case is he winds up losing a primary and spends his 70s (he's 68 now) as a hero to millions. He'll likely never have as much influence over anything again as he has over this right now.

Fred Hampton speaking at a rally in Grant Park, Chicago, September 1969

"If you ever think about me, and if you ain’t gonna do no revolutionary act, forget about me. I don’t want myself on your mind, if you’re not gonna work for the people."

On this day in 1969, Fred Hampton was shot to death by Chicago, Cook County and federal police as he slept in his apartment.
