Finally last post: didn’t the Supreme Court say the AEA cases “sounded” in habeas? NILC should probably ensure they are filing in a jurisdiction where one of the children is actually held.

6 USC 279, which calls for ORR to help reunite children with a parent abroad in appropriate cases was enacted as part of Homeland Security Act of 2002. 8 USC 1232 is the TVPRA- a later-enacted statute.
Buy a stainless steel one. There are many with black plastic and they smell like it when hearing
Well I guess I was naive. Should’ve believed those rumors that he was prepared to step in for pence on Jan 6. He voted for Bove just like the rest. Et tu Charles?
How do you know it is “audio” evidence? I didn’t see that in article
Charles Grassley built a reputation as being against fraud and abuse. I think he could still rally to the better angels
Brave woman. Sometimes America makes me so proud. Other times like I want to curl in a ball and read endless recipes and learn to bake bread
The way he is sitting is so disrespectful. Someone shoulda called him out for that. Like a jr high school kid giving lip to his teacher. Dude this isn’t freaks and geeks.
Jd, vlad and Ghislaine. Uncanny
Dems should just start funding independents in order to get these lunatics out. Whatever it takes. The Dems’ fundamental inability to understand this and do Something! Anything! in fact contributes to my first point
As bad as these trumpets are (and they are bad) people perceive Dems as worse. I hear it from my own relatives. I don’t like Trump, in fact I really dislike him but I can’t vote for a dem. They’re deluded, overly idealistic and have their heads (somewhere ill say in the clouds)
And they go out with their friends at night, don’t have to worry about paying for college, don’t have to worry as much about retirement, live in walk ups often without air conditioning, use hot water bottles to warm them in the winter etc etc. it’s good and bad. But it results in skinniness
Honestly this is why Dems should right now start exploring ways of discouraging young men from voting. That their votes don’t matter. Epstein and Medicaid cuts are a good place to start. There’s a global elite, trumps in on it, and nothing you do can change that.
We need to harness RFRA for abortion clinics. Plenty of religions believe they have a religious duty to prioritize the health (physical and mental) and life of the mother, especially a mother that already has children, and especially in the first trimester.
Here’s the link: www.thecrimson.com/article/2023...
Meanwhile something like 40% of Harvard grads go into finance or consulting. Not exactly your storied intellectual bastion of expanding the mind and providing service to others. So honestly there’s a part of me that’s like who cares? These institutions lost their way years ago.
They seem to be doing this under 100051 of the OBBBA. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c.... But that’s just a restriction on how funds are used. I don’t read that as overriding TVPRA protections that only children from contiguous countries may withdraw admission.
Could the state of NY subpoena it. They have an interest in both Epstein and Trump
There is a group of people who could solve all of this right now. Quickly. Easily. Their names: Lisa, Susan, Mitch, Thom …. They *choose* not to. They could be iconic heroes. Historic saviors from a mad Caesar. Focus on them. Focus on that
Does anyone believe she will do anything other than invoke the 5th amendment unless she’s given some sort of immunity?
Really making America healthy?
Wow empty wheel called it. Look at Leavitt’s jaw when he says No, no
That’s out of context. Big deal is about him saying they made such a big deal of wishing people well
Has anyone asked Bove in confirmation hearings whether he will expect attorneys appearing before him to abide by verbal orders?
Would you say the same if it were another head of state? President Xi? Putin? Not a huge Netanyahu fan but really
It says: “The New York Times report on Mamdani’s college application was based on hacked documents that were shared with the newspaper.”
Article also says straight up info was hacked:
When I took the SATs it had all those apology questions. Does it still?
We need to throw the GOP out. They’ve just handed us the playbook.
For me, I’d be willing to say raise taxes on the top 10% of earners, institute a pretty strict estate tax, cut some health spending as well.”, but you need to be willing to increase taxes and decrease costs if you’re going to extend 2017 taxes for middle class
We really should be willing to put forward solutions. Would you have All Of the 2017 cuts expire? If not where do you draw the line, does that cost, and how will you offset it? It’s actually not easy. GOP not doing itself any favors but it’s not easy
But mostly an assault on fiscal responsibility.4.5 trillion on top of an already 37 trillion debt. What did DOGE save with all its chaos and the absolute callousness toward USAID? It probably cost quite honestly.
So sad. For whatever reason Trump comes across as authentic as he’s selling you a lie. Even a guy as smart as Bill Maher said he was funny and cordial. That matters. Dems need a ONE spokesperson. Who every day is connecting. That’s part of the issue. There’s no one locus of opposition
Pretty soon maybe they’ll invite us to press up against the windows and watch them eat like Louis the XIV did.
And Susan Collin’s yet again mildly objected. Cause this bill will hurt thousands of Mainers who are stripped of Medicaid. And then she oh so gravely voted yes. Janet Mills. We need you
It’s gonna pass and America zombie walking to debt catastrophe. Open your eyes. conservatives never cared about the debt. This baby raises it by 4.2 TRILLION. Got sweet kids/grandkids? start saving now. No Medicare or Social security for them. Boomers took it all while gen x nodded and stared
Also can head to Alexandria. Some cool little museums including meeting rooms from the 1700s where Thomas Jefferson dined. And the Torpedo Factory has great art. Great food in Alexandria too
Building Museum is cool. Very kid friendly with a Lego room. It costs but might be able to get a Groupon or todaytix
Jim Ryan clerked for Justice Rehnquist. He’s as moderate as they come. He brought the police to an encampment and swiftly broke it up. Still not good enough
Yes and he’s authentically transactional and boorish and what you see is what you get. And he talks to the press almost every day. Show me a D who does that
New Yorker fiction is really good. Listen to the one where Akhil Sharma reads Joyce Carol Oates!
When Hillary Clinton made 100k for a speech at Goldman Sachs, and Huma Abedin raked it in while also working at the State Dept and Obama went on to buy what 4 or 5 multimillion dollar houses. You better believe people said you don’t speak for us. We need authenticity. It’s everything.
Yeah that’s the truth of it. For many other populations - children with autism, ADHD, obesity - they’d have ruled differently - allowed parents and the medical community to work together to determine what is best for that child. Why does the state know better?
It was always bad faith. Always. If you’re motivated by a religious ideology of what you consider good versus evil, then the ends justify the means. Will we ever learn? Stop believing them!
Same people who rode Claudine Gay out on a rail support this nonsense.
“Ramaphosa has repeatedly challenged Trump’s portrayal of the country’s treatment of White farmers, who a 2017 audit found make up seven percent of the population of South Africa, but own three-quarters of the country’s land in an enduring vestige of state-sanctioned segregation”
The Beach Oys!
They can switch one text for an entirely different text as I understand it through an Amendment in the Nature of a Substitute (AINS)
Well I know you disagree with me but I think D’s could do a better job at the contrast. Like tax billionaires more. Said a billion times! And pile on the media when they write about the budget but they focus more on the personalities and cage fight. Every article should have the $’s at the top
Or this: Oh how cute - who doesn’t love a 10 pm Sunday session in the House ? Also calling this Budget quartet “hardliners” concerned about “deep enough spending cuts.” But THEIR cuts- barely a blip Because this is a massive tax cut. Report that! www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Like this: how are they “hard” liners? They’re almost completely caving www.politico.com/live-updates...
And they breathlessly make the 4 holdouts seem like they’re true budget hawks and fighting!! When all they did was fold. They held up the bill for a day and a half only to vote “present” on a Sunday night. they’re anything but hawks. They’re not even doves. They’re carrion
There’s such blatant hypocrisy from GOP stalwarts. But also upsetting is how the media reports it. How are the American people supposed to understand that even the cruelest Medicaid and food stamp policies will not pay for these bloated tax policies. The media doesn’t tell them.
They want work requirements as early as 2026. How do states even do that so quickly.
Yes GOP much worse. But Dems won’t offer a clean comparison because there’s a lot in the 2017 tax law that they like
Honestly we need to get our debt under control and neither party takes it seriously. Both sides will screw your grandchildren for short term political gain. We are not a serious country and we are not led by serious government.
Also from WSJ: Publicly held federal debt stands at about $29 trillion, nearly double the level when Trump and Republicans passed the 2017 tax law. Nearly $1 in every $7 the U.S. spends goes toward paying interest, more than the country spends on defense.
Every time you talk about this bill please talk about how much is not paid for. From WSJ: The current proposal would increase projected budget deficits by nearly $3 trillion through 2034, locking in tax cuts and spending increases that outweigh reductions in spending
Please!! Report the biggest issues here. No matter how cruel they get on Medicaid it STILL increases the deficit by TRILLIONS of dollars. Trillions. 2.5 trillion. Report that
Wow he actually looks like he’s doing a soft shoe routine. All we need is jazz hands Speaker Johnson.
Each side can display intolerance and censoriousness. It’s right now not about liberal versus conservative because Trump is not conservative. He’s a corrupt, cruel autocrat wannabe. Don’t flatter him and call him conservative.
Omg! I’m so tired of conservatives crying about university climate. Everyone in law school knew you had to be much more competitive to clerk for a liberal judge. The FedSoc types had a much easier time of it
I find it ironic that the 1 in a 1000 figure is also the risk of a child dying if they don’t receive the measles vaccine.
I swear they’re gonna open up a sink hole with those tanks rolling down Pennsylvania Avenue
Abuser in chief
Let’s face it. They get their jollies through the sadism. The cruelty is not just the point. It’s the fun!
Yes they’d like a side of alternative process to go with the alternative facts
And chuck schumer to thank for allowing government spending to continue. The courts wouldn’t have operated like this in a shut down
But why do they also say they still wouldn’t have voted for Harris? Dems gotta figure this thing out. Comes down to authenticity and caring. Stop poll testing everything and speak to core principles like due process, fairness, working class rights, no billionaires, millionaire tax. It’s simple
The picture of Marco Gray
Don’t bother until you win the House Dems. Then have a plan to move FAST.
Even if they’ll never come for you - which honestly is probably the case - you should still care because it’s other human beings. I think we can ask people to care even when it’s not personal
I think they think it actually helps them! That Americans like this muscular display of raw power. And they’re so convinced about Trump Derangement Syndrome they’re convinced Dems will overreact and alienate voters. They are wrong.
Article I is Congress!
Maybe independents then?
Yes stop saying this is Trump and start saying this is the Republican Party and every Republican must answer for it. And start getting independents to run against them
But now tie the entire GOP to Trump. They could stop it. They choose not to. People who voted GOP need to call their Reps and Sens and tell them: I will vote Democratic unless you do something!
History echoes! How The Fugitive Slave Act Paved The Way For The Civil War www.npr.org/2019/11/08/7...
Judges and lawyers. They’re the ones who rallied for Poland’s escape from the clutches of authoritarianism. Keep it up!
Hot swastica buns
I’m sure it feels good to say things like this and it is absolutely appalling what happened to a US citizen but like it or not our country will not tolerate open borders and we need something like ICE and CBP. Should they be humane? Yes. Should they have a contingent of social workers? Yes.
One of the few to remain unspoken
I had no idea this court existed. What is it? Is it an Article I court?
This guy has made crazy args for them. And this is how they repay: “August Flentje, Reuveni’s supervisor, was also placed on administrative leave, according to one person familiar with the matter….Flentje was told he had failed to supervise a subordinate.” www.cnn.com/2025/04/05/p...
Outrageous headline
We are so f’d!!! I am a liberal who thinks we need to get debt under control. The GOP is doing the opposite of that! The media needs to explain this
No one thought the parliamentarian would buy that bs since the current law is that they expire not continue. So they’re going around her so they can put this country into even more debt while taking services away from the poor
The tax cuts expire at the end of 2025. They want to extend them permanently or at least for 10 years. “Current” baseline means compare the extension to what currently exists - & tax cuts are in effect right now.
The article says their argument is that the parliamentarian does not weigh in on using the “current baseline.” Instead Lindsey Graham gets to decide because he’s chair of the Senate Budget committee
No they’ve effectively done away with any shred of fiscal responsibility. They’re not going to pay for this bloated tax cut. They’re so full of it. The tax cut is something like 4.7 trillion. Everything they’re doing to fedl employees is in the billions.
They do realize FOIA has strict deadlines. And when offices miss those deadlines people sue. And then you have to get lawyers involved. And the govt typically loses the litigation or settles and pays attorneys fees. Very efficient
Mistakes were made don’t you know
Did they get it from the govt? It’s not clear. The Declaration accompanying it simply says upon “information and belief” it is being used. It doesn’t say the government sent it to them
www.foxnews.com/politics/arm...
I fully expect that he will try and JD Vance will do what he was picked to do.
Astonishing and also that it was the ACLU that got the doc. The govt was not the party that made this Public?
Brilliant. But scary. Sounds like they’re predicting a Tiananmen moment.
It makes little sense to say HHS cannot, via rulemaking, limit DHS from obtaining information. These rules go through centralized OMB review and relevant Depts review them. DHS probably signed off on the prior rule.
The problem with law schools is that they revere ARGUMENT. Even liberal profs encourage emulating Scalia’s concise arrogant writing style. It’s like the human element drops. Maybe law students should be forced to actually work with people in some way. After all the profession really is about people
There are federal laws on how to fire people. It’s illegal to fire him for the reason that he’s prosecuting the presidents friend. If he can swing it he should immediately get a lawyer and challenge this. He will definitely win and get back pay but would he want to swim in these tainted waters?
