Two of the companies that DOGE staffer Gavin Kliger is invested in — Apple and Tesla — are on the CFPB’s list of prohibited holdings.

I got an E. coli infection while in law school and ended up hospitalized for two days.

Rubio is a lawyer and officer of the court.
Q: “Have you been in touch with El Salvador about returning Abrego Garcia? Has a formal request from this administration been made?”
Rubio: “I would never tell you that. And you know who else I'd never tell? A judge.”

One problem with the idea of reserving due process for law-abiding people is that due process is how we figure out which people are law-abiding.

Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

Despite never getting a SCOTUS appointment, Jimmy Carter left a major imprint on the federal judiciary. He appointed Ginsburg and Breyer to lower court seats and broke down the existing old boys network in order to bring greater diversity to the bench. An important (and often overlooked) legacy.
