I think I've asked before is there a deadpool for Trump administration exits and are people manipulating the market?
Haven't they been teasing this for months now?
White House officials have grown frustrated with DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, and one source says her position may no longer be secure, Nick Miroff, Yvonne Wingett Sanchez, and Michael Scherer report.

This is an evergreen tweet, right? Right?
The 79-year-old president appeared to malfunction, veering off script into a confusing word salad.

TIL the origins of Kamala is a cop.
Not for nothing, the person who coined the "Kamala is a cop" meme that took off like wildfire in "leftists" circles was a woman who was convicted under Harris' tenure as AG for indecent contact with a minor, a teenage boy.

"Earlier this week, the anti-drone technology was launched near the southern border to shoot down what appeared to be foreign drones. The flying material turned out to be a party balloon, sources said. One balloon was shot down, several sources said. "

@dmaanderson.bsky.social, you might be interested while skimming through this. Constitutional law intersection with health care rights and market forces.
My latest, "Free Exercise and the Redistribution of Liberty," is now posted (and forthcoming in @yalelawjournal.bsky.social). It argues that free exercise doctrine uses selective market logic to redistribute both public resources and liberty itself.

I'm going to hold my breath until I turn blue is always such a winning tactic.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Thursday that demands made by Democrats for new restrictions on federal immigration officers are “unrealistic” and warned that the Department of Homeland Security will shut down next week if they do not work with Republicans and the White House.

Training cannot correct for lack of vetting and unsuitability for a position of public trust
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Trump vs Leonard Leo. Who coulda knowed. Where will the Supremes place their faith?
Trump: "The people heading up the lawsuit - like this guy named Leonard Leo, he's a bad guy - people that are very China-oriented & foreign car-oriented. They're suing to get rid of tariffs! Like Coke. Coke has businesses outside the US. If you have 'em outside, you don't want tariffs"

I am not sure how effective a resignation is in defeating a bad policy, but I am sure a quiet resignation does less. I hope Holsey will voice his concerns.
Adm Holsey retires today.
"It’s an almost incredibly honorable course of conduct for Holsey to have declined to capitulate to Hegseth’s bullying & instead to honor his oath to the Constitution by quietly giving up the job most Naval officers can only dream about."

Yes this is vile, but I quibble. Is any Congressman not "in good standing"? What constitutes good or not good standing for members of congress?
A sitting Republican Congressman in good standing said this, tweeted it out from his own account, and not a peep of outrage.
Imagine if he had said this about any other religious group. Why would it be tolerated? Why is this condoned?
