Which reminds me. Did anyone recently look at the hold in Fort Knox? Is it still there?

This is the central dynamic to most of the Trump Administration’s legal strategies, including, most notably til now, the deportations to El Salvador.

A law says: Under condition X, the President can do Y.

Trump: I declare X is happening! So I can do Y.

SHUMATE points to the Take Care Clause as justifying Trump's action.

BREYER: You're telling me that the president acted on evidence. Did he have to?

SHUMATE: It would be a nonjusticiable matter.

BREYER: So, if he simply says it, it's so.

This is how 9 news australia is phrasing the attack on their reporter..

"reporter caught in the crossfire" there's no crossfire. a cop shot you with a gun that was put in his hand by fascists. No one is shooting back.. this is why this is happening, you're giving cops reasonable doubt.

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

The Obama administration deported over 3.16 million people. Biden’s passed 4.44 million. Not once did either need troops in the streets to do it. That’s all you need to know about what’s happening.

Let’s be clear: Israel, an occupier, has no authority under international law to board or divert the Madleen.

This is a hijacking, plain and simple. A hijacking of a UK-registered ship, with multiple *European* citizens on board.

Does the EU or UK government have anything to say? Anything??

For reactionary centrists the “fight against woke” was always a grift. They knew universities weren’t really woke and that “woke” faculty hold little power. They gave the far right an excuse for their attack on higher ed… and now they whine in the media, ignoring their own crucial role.

De uitspraken van de premier zijn fundamenteel onaanvaardbaar. Wie het internationaal recht selectief toepast, kiest voor straffeloosheid en laat oorlogsmisdadigers begaan.

Politiek leiderschap draait niet om gemak, maar om wat juist is. Wij vragen dat élke politicus zich uitspreekt.

It was never about free speech, just like it was never about “efficiency.”

The image is a screenshot of a post on X by Jon Favreau (@jonfavs

promises to use the power of the state to target people who say mean things about his car company." Below this, Aaron Rupar (@atrupar

I think the real problem with DOGE is that it’s a bunch of people who think that everyone is stupid except for them, when in reality every organization is made up of people who are trying to do things as best as they can but are constrained by other factors
