RFK Jr. has now officially stated that he will dismantle the United States Preventive ServicesTask Force (USPSTF).

This is an independent body of expert scientists who volunteer their time to review data and provide guidance to Americans on important things like cancer screenings.

The largest domestic deportation operation in US history has seen detention companies’ market value surge. But FT analysis has identified facilities housing 100s more people than they are designed to hold.

A chart with details on how the Supreme Court has handled applications for emergency relief from the Trump administration.

To help visualize how #SCOTUS is handling Trump emergency applications, here's my chart of the rulings to date.

Some of the trends rather jump off of the page...

You know these kinds of leading questions are especially interesting to me as a Black American because white supremacists have been trying to kill us the whole time and we have managed not to commit genocide in response

Thank you for not paying attention to this matter!!

We’re releasing the Epstein Files day one. There are no Epstein Files. Here’s video proof nothing happened. Ok we had to edit it. There are no Epstein Files. There are Epstein Files, but the Democrats made them. Why do you care so much about this Epstein guy? What are “Files”?

FYI: Gutting funding for public media will cut off news sources for millions of Americans. That’s exactly what Trump wants: to exert even more control over the news and information that the public receives – or doesn’t even receive at all. It’s a hallmark of dictatorship.

I'm not successful in the traditional sense, or in any other sense, but at least I forgot where I was going with this.

Brave and important warning by a group of Israeli scholars regarding "the plan to concentrate the population of Gaza in a so-called 'humanitarian city'":

"If implemented, the plan would constitute a series of war crimes and crimes against humanity, and . . . could amount to the crime of genocide."

At least 17 million Americans would lose insurance under Trump plan GOP legislation would set back years of progress in expanding health care coverage, unwinding key parts of President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act.

You know you’re winning when you post “We are NOT the Gestapo!”

The government now seeks an emergency stay of these orders. Largely for the reasons explained in our opinion in Öztürk v. Hyde, No. 25-1019, 2025 WL 1318154(2d Cir. May 7, 2025), we deny the motion for a stay. As explained there, the government is unlikely to succeed on its arguments that the district court lacked jurisdiction over Mahdawi's habeas petition. We further conclude that the government is unlikely to succeed on its arguments that the district court lacked the authority to order Mahdawi's release. We are also unpersuaded by the government's argument that the district court's orders prevented it from effectuating duly enacted law, thereby causing it to suffer irreparable injury. In fact, immigration removal proceedings have continued in Louisiana, and Mahdawi has attended them remotely since his release. Finally, the balance of the equities tips in favor of denying the stay. Indeed, the practical effect of the relief the government seeks would be Mahdawi's re-detention.

BREAKING: The Second Circuit panel unanimously denies DOJ's request to stay the order granting Moshen Mahdawi's release pending his habeas proceedings.

The panel notes that granting DOJ's request "would be Mahdawi's re-detention."

It is bizarre and outrageous that the person hyperempowered by Congress to destroy our international trade reveals daily that he cannot comprehend how trade works.

A trade deficit is not a ‘subsidy’. It means that the US got valuable *capital* in exchange for goods & services. Mutual benefit.

HAPPENING NOW: A Second Circuit motions panel hears arguments on the govt's emergency request to stop Tufts PhD student Rümeysa Öztürk from being physically moved from Louisiana to Vermont while the govt appeals the VT fed court's jurisdiction. (It isn't clear this order should even be appealable.)

IV. CONCLUSION The U.S. Constitution affords critical protections against Executive action like that ordered in EO 14230. Government officials, including the President, may not “subject[] individuals to ‘retaliatory actions’ after the fact for having engaged in protected speech.” Hous. Cmty. Coll. Sys., 595 U.S. at 474 (quoting Nieves, 587 U.S. at 398). They may neither “use the power of the State to punish or suppress disfavored expression,” Vullo, 602 U.S. at 188, nor engage in the use of “purely personal and arbitrary power,” Yick Wo, 118 U.S. at 370. In this case, these and other foundational protections were violated by EO 14230. On that basis, this Court has found that EO 14230 violates the Constitution and is thus null and void. For the reasons explained, plaintiff is entitled to summary judgment and declaratory and permanent injunctive relief on Counts II through IX of the Amended Complaint. The government’s motion to dismiss is denied. An order consistent with this Memorandum Opinion will be entered contemporaneously. Date: May 2, 2025 __________________________ BERYL A. HOWELL United States District Judge

BREAKING: Federal judge rules that President Donald Trump's executive order targeting the Perkins Coie law firm — the first of several such orders — is unconstitutional and, accordingly, "null and void."

Trump’s Tirade at Reporter Wrecks His Own Case Against Abrego Garcia Watch Trump lose it under tough, persistent questioning from Terry Moran of ABC.

Now that Trump admitted he can pick up the phone and bring Abrego Garcia back, time to press WH on the fact that their basis for refusing is the word of a cop who was indicted for serious misconduct.

Trump's ABC interview is full of bullshit. My rebuttal:

Yesterday, the President of the United States played this video to cheers while claiming Democrats are "racing to the defense of some of the most violent savages on the face of the Earth." www.theguardian.com/us-news/live... Literally a fascist rally. No other way to describe it.
