it's so, so, so frustrating how they act like people applying for asylum are subject to removal proceedings. that is not the law!!!!
Just heard back from DHS on why they abruptly expedited Ramos' asylum hearing:
“These are regular removal proceedings. This is standard procedure and there is nothing retaliatory about enforcing the nation’s immigration laws. He will receive full due process."
(This is not standard procedure.)

Federal judge: "The presumption of regularity that has previously extended to [the United States Government] that it could be taken at its word—with little doubt about its intentions and stated purposes—no longer holds."
This is in a case where the Trump admin sued Oregon.

First eggs, then coffee, and now beef. Every time there's a food affordability crisis, Trump responds by lowering tariffs and boosting imports.
You'd think there'd be a broader lesson to be drawn here, but... no.

The only question should whether his texts are admitted as evidence at his criminal trial.

The feds say the release of a Border Patrol agent's texts could "sully" his reputation.

The Washington Post—for which I wrote editorials for nearly a decade—has closed its Kyiv bureau.
@lawfaremedia.org has not—and we will not.
We now employ more people in Kyiv than the Washington Post.
