All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house.

This is where America is now

Today I wrote about 60 Minutes' decision to obey in advance and why it represents the sad end to the storied franchise.

I'm guessing SCOTUS did not agree to accept to hear the case for the purpose of upholding birthright citizenship.

NEW: The Supreme Court will once again consider the legality of Trump's attack on birthright citizenship, this time (likely) on the merits.
TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF U.S., ET AL. V. BARBARA, ET AL. The petition for a writ of certiorari before judgment is granted.

I have been binge listening to the podcast The Last Invention and now feel kinship with Adama from Battlestar Galactica as well as Chuck McGill. The podcast reviews the past and future of AI and it is eye opening. Highly recommend it. Then unplug.

Here's Judge Ellis' full order after yesterday's hearing, which includes one change: Bovino has to appear today (and every weekday) in court at 5:45 p.m. "to account for the security needs of the Dirksen Courthouse"
The Court orders Defendants to have all Federal Agents operating in Operation Midway Blitz to place an identifier conspicuously on their uniform where one can easily view it and the Agent's equipment does not obscure it. Custom and Border Protection will strive to ensure that all CBP agents working in Operation Midway Blitz have body-worn cameras. Additionally, Defendant Bovino has agreed to have a body-worn camera assigned to him by 10/31/2025 and have completed BWC training. The Court orders Defendants to provide to the Court, under seal, all CBP use of force reports relating to Operation Midway Blitz from 9/2/2025 through 10/25/2025, by COB 10/31/2025. The Court further orders Defendants to provide to the Court, under seal, all BWC video corresponding to the use of force reports from 9/2/2025 through 10/25/2025 filed with the Court by COB 10/31/2025. The Court orders Defendants to provide to the Court, under seal, all additional CBP use of force reports and corresponding BWC video within 24 hours of finalization of the CBP reports. The Court orders Defendant Bovino to appear in court, in person, week days at 5:45 PM (modifying the Court's oral order during the hearing to account for the security needs of the Dirksen Courthouse) in courtroom 1403 to report on the use of force activities for each day. Finally, the Court orders Defendants to provide to the Court, under seal, by COB 10/31/2025 a chart containing the names, dates of arrest or detention, charges or citations, and resolution of the arrest or detention (e.g., released with charging, charged with misdemeanor, charged with felony, given summons, or given citation) for all individuals detained or arrested by CBP from 9/2/2025 through 10/29/2025 that is not directly related to an immigration enforcement violation, such as a failure to appear for an immigration appointment or an outstanding order of removal.
