An overnight filing by DOJ at #SCOTUS in the concertina wire case lays out Texas’s rather stunning escalation of its efforts to interfere with federal immigration authorities along the US-Mexico border.

Whatever you think of current policy, this is nuts:

"Shouldn't Trump have to be convicted of insurrection first before being disqualified?" You hear this objection often, but it's wrong.
Why Section 3 Disqualification Doesn't Require a Prior Criminal Conviction on Charges of Insurrectio...
The reason is a combination of the general structure of our legal system and the original meaning of Section 3.

one way to describe s3 of the 14th amendment is a dusty old provision that’s rarely been used. that makes sense if you are a moron. a more accurate way to describe it is as a constitutional provision that has been used every time there’s been a serious insurrection in american history.

When the FBI searched Rudy's home in April 2021, the phones he used when getting Marie Yovanovitch fired were not found. But they did find three devices that Rudy used to plan January 6.

Governor Newsom just passed a nearly $300 million budget to combat “organized retail theft.”

Since then: Retailers are admitting they lied about the extent of retail theft. And FBI data just released tells us retail theft is down & property crime is *lowest since 1961.*

Lies.

It turns out that the major pharmacies in the U.S. routinely provide patient medical records to law enforcement without a warrant. The potential ramifications of this for anyone on birth control, ordering abortion pills, or medication for mental illness and other personal conditions are staggering.
