Very funny to see Alito complain about the court skipping full briefing and oral arguments for a quick shadow docket decision when he has signed onto innumerable orders that pull the exact same tricks and rebuked colleagues who complain about it ... www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
In this case, the Court has unnecessarily and unwisely departed from standard practice. It raised an argument that respondents waived below, and it now rules in respondents’ favor on that ground. To make matters worse, the Court reaches out and expresses tentative views on other highly important issues on which there is no relevant judicial precedent and on which we have received scant briefing and no oral argument.

arrests in Illinois. The State and the Government disagree about whether the immigration officers have violated the Constitution in making certain immigration stops and arrests. The basic constitutional rules governing that dispute are longstanding and clear: The Fourth Amendment requires that immigration stops must be based on reasonable suspicion of illegal presence, stops must be brief, arrests must be based on probable cause, and officers must not employ excessive force. Moreover, the officers must not make interior immigration stops or arrests based on race or ethnicity. Cf. Whren v. United States, 517 U. S. 806, 813 (1996) (“[T]he Constitution prohibits selective enforcement of the law based on considerations such as race”). This application does not require us to delve into the parties’ underlying dispute and to determine whether any particular immigration encounter or series of encounters in Illinois has violated those basic constitutional principles.

the sheer contempt our society has for children is absolutely staggering. “kids lie constantly” is shit adults made up to justify never taking any meaningful action to support the children they so frequently claim to be protecting
As the school day wound down, the principal was skeptical. At the disciplinary hearing, the girl’s attorney asked why the sheriff's deputy didn’t check the phone of the boy the girls were accusing and why he was allowed on the same bus as the girl. “Kids lie a lot,” responded Coriell, the principal. “They lie about all kinds of things. They blow lots of things out of proportion on a daily basis. In 17 years, they do it all the time. So to my knowledge, at 2 o’clock when I checked again, there were no pictures.”

Look who’s interested in “basic decency” all of a sudden
Laura Loomer C @LauraLoomer X.com It's insane to me that we even have to have a conversation in the GOP about how calling people Nig**rs, Jeets and K*kes isn't going to be a formidable electoral strategy in 2028. It's crazy how we have to remind people Hitler wasn't someone to be idolized. So many people in the GOP have really gone down a dark path and they really actually think people will vote for this. It's Wild. When did basic decency become a "purity test"?

Put aside that it isn't actually all that horrible to say such a thing, he actually didn't say that. Why are people incapable of taking on someone's words as they actually exist?

Here's what he actually said on the right
Joel M. Petlin & @Joelmpetlin X.com Ta-Nehisi Coates wasn't just "critical of Israel." He claimed that if he lived in Gaza he would have joined the Hamas terrorists and participated in the October 7th massacre. But I guess that fact would not align with Glenn's narrative on the Joooos If I were 20 years old, born into Gaza, a giant open-air jail ... if my father is a fisherman and he goes too far out into the sea, he might get shot by somebody inside of Israeli boats ... if my mother picks the olive trees and she gets too close to the wall, she might be shot ... if my little sister has cancer and she needs treatment because there are no facilities to do that in Gaza and I don't get the right permit, she might die ... if I grow up under that oppression, and that poverty ... when the wall comes down lon October 7], am I also strong enough, or even constructed in such a way where I say: "This is too far"? I don't know that I am. I don't know that I am. I don't know that I am. I just wish we had room to work through that, you know what I mean? And to think about that and to talk about that.

The White House’s new anti-media website includes denunciations of:

-ABC, which bribed the president
-CBS, which bribed the president and moved away from fact-based journalism trying to appeal to him and his fans
-WaPo, which spiked a Harris endorsement and tilts coverage in Trump’s favor

Donald J. Trump + @realDonald Trump Any document signed by Sleepy Joe Biden with the Autopen, which was approximately 92% of them, is hereby terminated, and of no further force or effect. The Autopen is not allowed to be used if approval is not specifically given by the President of the United States. The Radical Left Lunatics circling Biden around the beautiful Resolute Desk in the Oval Office took the Presidency away from him. I am hereby cancelling all Executive Orders, and anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden, because the people who operated the Autopen did so illegally. Joe Biden was not involved in the Autopen process and, if he says he was, he will be brought up on charges of perjury. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.
brandonfriedman.bsky.social Brandon Friedman @brandonfriedman.bsky.social · Nov 25
The folks at @afghanevac.bsky.social have in hand a new USCIS directive which largely targets Afghan refugees who fled the Taliban in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal in 2021.

In case you needed a reminder that the most loathsome people in the world work for DHS.
USCIS Refugee Memo – Summary of Key Provisions Effective immediately, USCIS is ordering: ● A total freeze on all pending Form I-485 applications filed by refugees admitted from Jan 20, 2021 – Feb 20, 2025 ● A mandatory re-interview of all principal refugees admitted during that period ● A review and potential re-interview of derivative refugees, including spouses, children, and follow-to-join beneficiaries ● A reassessment of whether each refugee met the definition at the time of admission Authority being invoked: ● INA § 101(a)(42) (refugee definition) ● INA § 207 and § 209 (termination and adjustment authority) ● USCIS asserts power to undo past refugee admissions Consequences: ● USCIS may terminate refugee status for principals and all derivatives ● USCIS may deny green cards, even for those who already have them ● There is no appeal of a denied refugee-based I-485; the only option is to contest removal in immigration court ● Refugees placed in removal proceedings may renew their I-485 claim before an immigration judge Additional conditions: ● USCIS has 90 days to create the priority list for who will be re-interviewed ● The freeze on I-485s remains until lifted in a future memo ● Only the USCIS Director or Deputy Director may authorize exceptions ● USCIS is explicitly framing this as correcting “expediency,” “quantity over quality,” and “vulnerabilities” in Biden-era adjudications ● The memo states USCIS will revisit all inadmissibility grounds, including those previously waived ● The memo highlights a review of the persecutor bar ● It asserts a need to ensure refugees “pose no threat to national security or public safety”
