you don’t need to codify Bivens. you just need to expand 1983 (which is better bc it offers damages AND injunctive relief) to cover federal officers

the NOEM act is a partial step in that direction and supporting it should be the bare minimum of all elected Dems going forward

ICE shot and killed a woman on camera today. We all saw the video.

The Trump administration is lying.

I agree that using court of appeals judges would be constitutionally risky

but I see no problem if Congress were to actually create 100+ supreme court judges as part of this scheme

the Exceptions Clause gives Congress a ton of power. I don't see why Congress couldn't:
* create 100 supreme court judgeships,
* require randomly drawn panels for cert and merits of appellate cases

a few candidates have talked about this but any Dem planning to run in 2028 should make it explicit: the next DOJ will, in fact, go after you if you’re funding this awful ballroom, or any other pay to play deals you make with this administration

Insane but true fact: making US roads as safe as Canadian, Australian, or European roads would save more lives than eliminating murder from the US.

Jeffrey Epstein [jeevacation@gmail.com]
He is digging around again -- not clear if its another book/or expanded paperback version. Was asking me all sorts of questions about why you hired Ken Starr. I told him I had no idea - I think he is doing some Trump-related digging too.
Anyway, for what its worth...

Skrmetti Beyond Scrutiny - Harvard Law Review In United States v. Skrmetti, the Supreme Court upheld Tennessee Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), a state law that prohibits transgender minors from accessing gender-affirming care.

What this order makes clear is that plaintiffs can collect a mountain of animus, the district court can write extensively about the record, and the Supreme Court will just go “nuh uh.”
