Judge Ana Reyes issues a stay of DHS Sec. Noem’s decision which was to go into effect tomorrow to end Haiti’s temporary protected status (TPS) designation. The conclusion of her opinion gets to the heart of it and should be read in its entirety.
Judge Reyes’s conclusion: “There is an old adage among lawyers. If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither, pound the table. … Having neither and bringing the adage into the 21st century, [Noem] pounds X (f/k/a Twitter).”

CNN: DHS officials have come to FEMA staff and told them to limit the use of the word ice…they are worried that by posting something like, watch out for the ice, that it's going to become a meme….

I don't think they're going to make it after all.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.

Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

I don't know. I think I'd prefer it if justice rolled down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.
Q: What goals do you have for '26 in Congress for your agenda?

TRUMP: I have great executive orders. Like, water coming out of a sink. The water wouldn't come out. They had all sorts of restrictions. I took them off. Straws. They don't have to be paper anymore. I'd like to have all that confirmed.

Theoretically, possible if this is based on the all-beef hot dog and 20oz soda for $1.50 at Costco three times a day, w/ a bag of dry fruit to munch on as well. Jar of M&Ms for to snack.

Doesn't factor in cost of annual membership...certainly not at the Executive level for timely breakfasts.
Brooke Rollins is still at it!

"We had run almost 1,000 simulations, and between $3 and $4 is a fair number if you can have access to that food. I just saw new numbers that were run: a full day, meaning 3 full square meals and a snack, is about $15.64."
