read the actual bill text and this is quite literally a provision designed solely to impede civil and criminal investigations into United States Senators and their staff. www.appropriations.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

I don’t mean to dilute Stella’s message, but I want to add that Elián González grew up to be a member of the Cuban National Assembly. “I will fight from whatever trench the revolution demands.”
There is no “bright side” to the trauma we are inflicting. But revolutionaries are being made every day.

Remember 25 years ago when a photo was taken of a fed pointing a gun at a crying refugee child and the image was so shameful it dominated the news cycle for a year

who are the comms people letting the cavers and their supporters get this much media time/thread posting? They somehow managed to lose the left, the center, third way, and Cilizza in the same moronic play and we're supposed to listen to how quite literally everyone is wrong actually?

Watching the clips of pastors clapping back at that woman calling around for formula after they said they wouldn't help & giving sermons about how it's not their "obligation" to help the community and I wish I was surprised

"The provision, tucked into a measure to fund the legislative branch, appears to immediately allow for eight GOP senators to sue over their phone records being seized in the course of the investigation by Jack Smith ... into the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021." www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...
Spending Bill Would Pave Way for Senators to Sue Over Phone Searches
Republicans have voiced outrage that Jack Smith looked at G.O.P. lawmakers’ phone records surrounding the Jan. 6 attack. Legislation to reopen the government would allow them to sue for $500,000 each.

JUST IN: The Trump administration asks the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to stay Judge Sara Ellis' preliminary injunction restricting the use of force against protesters and journalists in Chicago.

![INTRODUCTION
The role of the Judiciary is to resolve concrete cases and controversies, not to act as general overseer of the Executive. But in response to the government’s efforts to enforce the Nation’s immigration laws after years of non-enforcement during an unprecedented wave of illegal immigration, courts have issued sweeping, programmatic injunctions that usurp executive authority and empower judges to superintend law-enforcement activities under threat of contempt. The predictable result is to broadly obstruct the enforcement of the Nation’s laws, chill the exercise of executive power, and subvert the constitutional structure.
This case is a perfect example. This Court previously issued a writ of mandamus to quash an order of this district court that “infringe[d] on the separation of powers” by “set[ting] the court up as a supervisor” of the agency’s law- enforcement activities. Order, In re Noem, No. 25-2936 (7th Cir. Oct. 31, 2025). The district court has now issued an extraordinary preliminary injunction that no less reflects an improper aggrandizement of the judicial role and a violation of the separation of powers. What began as a complaint by journalists and protestors alleging that DHS officers targeted them with crowd-control devices at a handful of protests in September and early October has transformed into an instrument for judicial micromanagement of federal law-enforcement operations in the Chicago area. Indeed, this injunction is so granular it consumes eight pages, governing everything from body-worn cameras, to agent identification, to the content of warnings before](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:elipdmmf5istuvtyituspske/bafkreihgvjfeppwczpepe3ijy2bgqwoo4hsxcd4ly4wo6onzf667iqxqtm@jpeg)

I don't doubt this is the process, but it is a bit wild to read something that's like yeah the odd tummy ache or if one of the judges overbooked themselves can have a bigger influence on the lit prize than the work itself but isn't it all such a fun part of the human experience -

The thing is there is always some reason why they need to cave and at a certain point the only conclusion to draw is that they were always going to cave because they don't actually want to win or help they just want to make it feel like they aren't selling you out for a little while
