The average Fox News consumer thinks the Guard deployments have something to do with crime. They don't know they're just standing around looking bored and occasionally picking up trash.

All Whiskey Pete is doing is sending 500 more people away from their families and friends at the holidays.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump administration orders 500 more National Guard members to Washington after shooting, Hegseth says.

An 18yo US citizen, surrounded by eight masked, armed agents of the state, taken into custody, not read his rights, not offered a chance to contact a lawyer, proof of citizenship ignored, handcuffed so tightly he later required medical attention.

Profoundly, profoundly anti-American shit.

Meta, YouTube, TikTok and Snapchat know how addictive their platforms can be to teens.

Those are allegations a group of school districts is making against the social media giants, according to a newly unsealed legal filing that quotes the companies’ own internal documents. https://cnn.it/3Xjq5x5

The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.
BREAKING:

“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “

The DOJ tells Judge James Boasberg that Kristi Noem made the decision that flights that had departed should continue on to El Salvador, in contravention of the court’s orders.

Hi, quick crim law question, should you talk to the FBI when the guy in charge of the FBI has publicly called for your execution and also has a history of obtaining indictments based on false information? Thx

Historically, I have had one particular opposing counsel file an "emergency" motion on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, which, per local rules, must be responded to within 24 hours.

This happened twice. The second time the clerk issued an order setting my deadline in December. Heh.
Checking in! How are we?

Thanksgiving week is historically Very Weird. It's a Very Slow Week, that also has Key News Dumps. So, it's both and not always clear what's what.

If you're still in government, especially DOJ, and something unusual is going on this week, reach out! Signal is crg.32

I know that sometimes my Civ Pro dorkdom comes out in these moments, but this is lowkey HILARIOUS to me. These Evil Twerps can't even read the Local Rules when they're trying to get children's medical info from a hospital as part of their anti-trans tirade. Sorry. You lose!
UPDATE: Another judge just dinged DOJ in another trans care subpoena case, with Judge Joun finding that DOJ missed a deadline, and, accordingly, their motion to alter the judgment in the Boston Children's Hospital case was "untimely." And, because DOJ also appealed, Joun has no further jurisdiction.
