Guessing, but sounds like 2d Cir will remand to Hellerstein to reconsider -- under standard that 2d Cir clarifies -- whether good cause to remove, rather than, as Trump seeks, move appeal directly to 2d Cir now. State appeal proceeds (absent stay) until Hellerstein ruling & any appeals therefrom.

Trump's deadline to file opening brief in NY state court appeal of hush money conviction is 7/29/25. Yesterday the parties filed a stip (not publicly available) -- wonder if they agreed to extend time for state appeal until 2d Cir rules on this (i.e. whether it will be moved to federal court).

No. My concern is that the Court could’ve cabined the practice as recently as January in a way that wouldn’t look like covering for rampant lawlessness by the executive.
It gives at least the appearance that this isn’t just about universal relief—like the 10+ times Gorsuch voted to leave it intact.

Note to WH staff today: paper is the traditional gift for the first anniversary of becoming a convicted felon. Maybe a nice bound volume of recent court decisions.

Let's talk about the interim US Attorney for DC. 2 statutes for temporary US Attorneys. First, there is a specific agency provision, 28 U.S.C. 546. Martin was named under this provision. Technically, AG is to choose (but press releases said Trump picked). 1/

Arguing with Trump about whether the text was "photoshopped" doesn't even get to the point of it, it was a CAPTION, whoever made it wasn't trying to fool people into thinking the text was a tattoo! It's like he was talking about how he saw the actors on TV stub their toes on the words at the bottom.
This is the person who has the official power to judge whether the available evidence says he should launch nuclear weapons
The fraud was supposed to just be the claim that the string of tattoos secretly meant "M-S-1-3" but the idea that explanatory text can be added to a picture was too subtle and complicated for his melted brain so he invented a whole even dumber fraud to believe in

NEW: Government officials insist that neither DOGE nor Musk have any real decision-making authority—they merely “advise” or “consult.”
But internal DOJ emails provide the most compelling evidence yet that DOGE is not simply advising—it’s calling the shots.

1. President Trump says he is meeting with one of the reporters/editors he despises most: The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg.
Joining him will be former Washington Post reporters, and now Atlantic reporters, Michael Scherer and Ashley Parker.

Oh wow — USDOT craps on SDNY for what was obviously just a terrible mistake, and breathes further life into this story. I’ve never heard of a federal agency doing this (in public, that is).

According to Alito, the Trump administration told a judge at a Friday night hearing that it did not plan to deport more migrants to El Salvador on Friday or Saturday, so there was no need for SCOTUS to halt any flights.
I read the hearing transcript. Alito is wrong. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Alito’s Emergency Deportation Dissent Misrepresents the Most Crucial Fact in the Case
What the Justice Department actually said in court reinforces the wisdom and necessity of the Supreme Court’s dramatic move.

More Qs for discovery/Xinis: was the 4/12 “official reporting from our Embassy in San Salvador” to the “Senior Bureau Official in the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs, United States Department of State” a lie? If not, on what was it based? Did Bukele lie to our Embassy?
