JUST IN: The Trump administration asks the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to stay Judge Sara Ellis' preliminary injunction restricting the use of force against protesters and journalists in Chicago.

Full motion here: cst.brightspotcdn.com/bc/ac/04906a...
![INTRODUCTION
The role of the Judiciary is to resolve concrete cases and controversies, not to act as general overseer of the Executive. But in response to the government’s efforts to enforce the Nation’s immigration laws after years of non-enforcement during an unprecedented wave of illegal immigration, courts have issued sweeping, programmatic injunctions that usurp executive authority and empower judges to superintend law-enforcement activities under threat of contempt. The predictable result is to broadly obstruct the enforcement of the Nation’s laws, chill the exercise of executive power, and subvert the constitutional structure.
This case is a perfect example. This Court previously issued a writ of mandamus to quash an order of this district court that “infringe[d] on the separation of powers” by “set[ting] the court up as a supervisor” of the agency’s law- enforcement activities. Order, In re Noem, No. 25-2936 (7th Cir. Oct. 31, 2025). The district court has now issued an extraordinary preliminary injunction that no less reflects an improper aggrandizement of the judicial role and a violation of the separation of powers. What began as a complaint by journalists and protestors alleging that DHS officers targeted them with crowd-control devices at a handful of protests in September and early October has transformed into an instrument for judicial micromanagement of federal law-enforcement operations in the Chicago area. Indeed, this injunction is so granular it consumes eight pages, governing everything from body-worn cameras, to agent identification, to the content of warnings before](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:elipdmmf5istuvtyituspske/bafkreihgvjfeppwczpepe3ijy2bgqwoo4hsxcd4ly4wo6onzf667iqxqtm@jpeg)

So it’s come to this: I’m seeing articles that recommend foraging as a way to deal with food insecurity. Even better if you forage for edible invasive plants. Did you know you can eat kudzu? Um, no. I did not know that. You know why? Because we haven’t been hunter-gatherers for 50,000 fucking years!

My conspiracy theory is: it would be incredibly easy for the Democratic caucus to control this big dipshit whose moods are "maudlin," "abusive" and "racist" and the fact that nobody is walking him around on a leash indicates that he is serving a purpose for them
My dude, there is still time to resign. Especially after capitulating and voting on a deal that would not extend Affordable Care Act subsidies WHICH WAS THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE SHUTDOWN. @fetterman.senate.gov

The James Bond set was a challenge to myself to see if I can actually follow the story in a James Bond movie. I've seen many of them - I usually lose track of what's happening fairly early and by the end am completely clueless as to who's doing what for what reasons.
