We could turn the tables and call the drug runners (alleged) narco-capitalists.
If the president can magically claim that drug runners are “narco-terrorists” to justify killing them, what’s to stop him from declaring democratic lawmakers as “political terrorists” or legally protesting American citizens as “agitator terrorists” to justify their murders?

Oz is her escapist fantasy! transforming it into a real place with politics and conflict cheapens the power of the original, in my opinion

De jure discrimination? We can't get this murder defense in Florida stopped.
A bubba could see me at a public restaurant, whip out a gun and blow me away, and at the trial go on like Austin Powers and walk free.

Seems like a congress that was on its game would impeach and remove based on threats of an illegal land invasion.
But no, we have lame congress that has to wait for people to die.

DOJ argues that the executive branch correctly interpreted the court's order while the court itself incorrectly interpreted the court's order.
Bizarre argument. Wonder what the court will say about that.

DOJ offers up Noem as the proper target of Judge Boasberg's contempt proceedings and acknowledges that Todd Blanche and Emil Bove devised the laughably false assertion that the court lacked jurisdiction to enter orders respecting planes outside the U.S.

At Law Dork, I look into the challenges to DOJ’s subpoenas seeking invasive information from providers of gender-affirming medical care for trans minors. I write about 4 rulings for the challengers, 3 public opinions, and 2 instances of judges directly questioning the actions of DOJ’s lawyers.
Multiple judges call out DOJ's methods of defending its invasive trans care subpoenas
A trio of public rulings, including one on Friday, all side with providers. Two rulings also raised sharp questions about DOJ's moves in recent months.

"Orders are presumed to be lawful" by whom?
REALITY: The last paragraph essentially acknowledges that everything above it is all bullshit spouted from their make-believe "War" department account. (Despite still including more bullshit about a "presumption" of lawfulness.)

Marvel Rivals continues to get more difficult to play.
I don't think I can make it to gold3, so not interested in competitive.
Quick play is losses leading to bot matches. I can make progress on proficiency, but it's rough.
It's like the game is telling me to just play vs bots in practice mode.

Of course she has personal reasons to leave on Jan 5th.
But also consider:
Leaving a year earlier disrupts the calendar of Georgia republican efforts.
The House will go into the Jan budget fight with one fewer R seat.

If joking about Charlie Kirk is considered “violent rhetoric,” how do we describe open calls to hang members of Congress?

Halligan should be charged with impersonating a federal prosecutor.
This is almost unreal incompetence.
Here's how this area of inquiry was discussed in Monday's opinion.
In short, this is the afterthought, the ~it couldn't be this, could it?~ moment in the opinion: "If this procedure did not take place, then the Court is in uncharted legal territory ..."

Mr Smith also mentions Mr Soros 17 times, but that a psychotic antisemite lives in Texas is not news.

Suppose a bill passes House and Senate with 100% support. That bill can still be vetoed.
Generally, a President would avoid vetoing such a widely supported bill because the re-vote is very likely to go against him. But procedurally, he gets to veto it and require the re-vote.

I just read that “deemed as passed” isn’t veto proof. I’d love to know definitively…
