It may be a pyrrhic victory as Dumpty will appeal to the Supremes and they will bow to their master.

Yeah I guess they were still negotiating but sounded like they might cave. Hopefully, this keeps their case going, as the Dumpty Admin will appeal this to the Supremes.

Today’s news confirms it: Cuomo is Trump’s choice for Mayor. The White House is considering jobs for Adams and Sliwa to clear the field. New Yorkers are sick of corrupt politics and backroom deals. No matter who’s running, we will deliver a better future on November 4.

A federal appeals court has blocked the Trump administration from invoking wartime powers under the Alien Enemies Act to deport migrants. In a 2-1 decision, the court rejected the claim that immigration (even on a large scale) constitutes a military breach of U.S. borders.

A federal judge has ordered Florida to shut down "Alligator Alcatraz," after the state spent a staggering $218M to build the now-vacant detention camp. Closing it will run taxpayers another $20M. An utterly cruel and costly waste.
