this is a general warrant and it's specifically the kind of warrant the framers passed the 4th amendment to outlaw
WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

The funny thing about attacking nuns is that you look always look weak and contemptible while they're actually still quite capable of kicking your ass.
Kristi Noem has attacked Sister Norma Pimentel, a leader of Catholic Charities serving immigrants in the Texas Rio Grande Valley, after she spoke out bravely criticizing DHS deportation projects, echoing the words of Pope Leo. www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/268391/...
DHS cuts off aid to Texas Catholic Charities

POLITICO: You pardoned the former president of Honduras even though he was convicted in a massive intl drug trafficking scheme. How is that 0 tolerance on drug trafficking?

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

Think of it this way (and I’m hardly the first to make this point): In a real U.S.-China war, most of the fanciest stuff that takes a long time to produce would get used up quickly. Then what?
That’s harder than saying “public-private partnerships,” “innovation,” “AI,” and “don’t get left behind.”

The conviction that a "unitary executive" guarantees "democratic accountability" is more like a civic religion or folkloric superstition than a constitutional theory. Federalist Society true-believers drill it into their acolytes and teach them never to question it, but it's fundamentally nonsense.
the unitarian notion of accountability is, in general, very strange as it holds that a single election — the president’s reelect — is more democratically accountable than the rolling process of democratic assent produced by legislative elections and congressional oversight.
