Jefferies sucks because he doesn't negotiate and talk with republicans behind closed doors to persuade them not to do bad things.

Legal status doesn’t matter: if you exceed ICE’s melanin threshold, you get snatched. It is ethnic cleansing. There is no other word for it.
The news has shown you video of these often violent detentions. What you don’t see is what happens to these individuals after.
I’ve had a front row seat.

Nope. Acting USA’s are inferior officers who may be appointed by courts. The power to remove inferior officers follows the power to appoint. Only the judges can fire whom they appoint. U.S. Attorney Chosen to Replace Trump Pick Is Quickly Fired by White House www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/n...

Also, the apparent reason he was "fired" in the X post is not even valid. congress can authorize courts to make appointments. the very Article II he cites says so. and if he wasn't legitimately appointed then he can't "fire" him anyway.

I'm pretty sure he just shows up for work tomorrow morning anyway. Because it would be dumb to have a law that allows judges to appoint the replacement if the executive branch can just fire him without case immediately.
UPDATE: Kinsella has been fired.
BREAKING from Brendan Lyons: A panel of federal judges, who last summer declined to make their own pick to fill the role of interim U.S. Attorney for NY's sprawling Northern District, on Wednesday swore in Donald Kinsella to the post — setting up a possible confrontation with the Trump admin.

I mean, this would be a good thing to have on the platform. I'm not sure it would be an effectively thing to have high up in your stump speech, though.
easy slogan for the next democratic presidential candidate is “i will reform the corrupt supreme court and repeal citizens united”
“When Citizens United was decided in 2010, billionaires had spent $18 million on the 2000 election, $13M 2004 and $16M in 2008. Then came the deluge. In 2012 it was $231M, and nearly doubled again in next three election cycles —to $682M in 2016, $1.2 billion in 2020 and $2.6 billion in 2024.” Gift:

the best part about this is that Article II in fact does allow Congress to delegate to "courts of laws" the ability appoint inferior officers. I'm sure that is mainly meant for things like magistrate judges, but the constitution doesn't really specify.
Todd Blanche says “You are fired, Donald Kinsella.”
Kinsella was just selected as the US Attorney for the Northern District of New York by the district’s judges, as permitted by statute.

Obviously I don’t support disenfranchising anyone.
But “married women who take their husband’s names” does not seem like a group Republicans would benefit from disenfranchising, either

Yes. Also the constitution gives Congress explicit authority to give allow to "courts of laws" to make inferior appointments if they wish, which they did in this case.
