Recall that a district court wrote a lengthy and closely reasoned opinion blocking DOGE's access to sensitive SSA data after extensive briefing. The Fourth Circuit agreed. Then SCOTUS threw that out with no explanation in a two-page emergency order.

Stitching together flawed data stored in different formats to create an unconstitutional citizenship database to check voter rolls against because US leaders are in the grip of conspiracy theories is having exactly the effect you would expect. @telliotter.bsky.social reports:

"I think he must be doing something right when there are so many people opposed to him," said Paul Minihane, 77, a real estate broker who lives in Dedham, Mass. "I mean, Donald Trump could look at me in the face and tell me to go screw myself. And I'd say, 'Thank you. I think that's good. I don't think he's looking to kiss everybody's ass. I think he's going to do what he thinks is the right thing. And I think that's a positive thing.' His enduring popularity with the base presents a bind for Republican congressional candidates, who must win over his supporters without repelling swing voters.

Administrative warrants are of course absurd. There is no difference between an administrative warrant and no warrant.

I gave myself permission to do whatever the fuck I want. Signed, me.

The memo cites no legal authority, only a further secret DHS's General Counsel (replaced in the early days with a Trump loyalist) opinion saying administrative warrants filled out by an ICE officer are sufficient to break into homes of people ordered removed.

Here's what such a warrant looks like.
DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement WARRANT OF REMOVAL/DEPORTATION To any immigration officer of the United States Department of Homeland Security: [Blank full name] who entered the United States at [blank port of entry] on [blank date] is subject to removal/deportation from the United States, based on a final order by (a series of check-boxes follow) - an immigration judge in exclusion, deportation, or removal proceedings - a designated official - the Board of Immigration Appeals - a United States District or Magistrate Court Judge and pursuant to the following provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act I the undersigned officer of the United States, by virtue of the power and authority vested in the Secretary of Homeland Security under the laws of the United Stats and by his or her direction, command you to take into custody and remove from the United States the above-named alien pursuant to law, at the expense of: [blank spaces follow for signature of immigration officer, title of immigration officer, and date and office location] - To be completed by immigration officer executing the warrant: Name of alien being removed: [blank space] Port, date, and manner of removal: [blank space] Underneath are spots for photos of the person and right index fingerprint, followed by a signature of the person being fingerprinted and the signature and title of the immigration officer, and a line for the officer to sign if they witnessed the person's departure. There's a space underneath for a narrative "if actual departure is not witnessed, fully identify the sources or means of verification of departure."

The Democratic leaders in Congress have repeatedly shown that they have no interest in leading an effective opposition.

They have no appetite for the legislative trench warfare this moment requires. They don't even have the will to speak about it clearly. They just want to be left alone.

We have to get rid of Jeffries and Schumer. We have to. It’s unendurable that these men are the most prominent Democrats of the moment. They are two of the most broadly undistinguished men I could imagine in politics, zero fire, zero fight, zero zeal, machine politicians with sinecures.
