SCOOP: The Trump administration is providing the names of all travelers passing through U.S. airports to immigration officials in search of people with deportation orders, a substantial expansion of government efforts to draw on data to hunt down immigrants.

First day of rail extension, and naturally there's a service flail with a track out of service.
It's being handled poorly by Japanese standards, amazingly by English standards, and the fact that it's being handled at all puts it miles beyond any other American system.

No Kings protests, and anti-regime protests in general, serve two main positive functions:
1) Reminding participants and observers that they’re very far from alone, countering regime efforts to divide and isolate
2) Showing the absurdity of regime lies about the peaceful, pro-democracy opposition

Funny they can't say the name of protests because saying "No Kings" makes it soooo clear it's the opposite of a "hate America rally"
Emmer: "This is about one thing and one thing alone -- to score political points with the terrorist wing of their party, which is set to hold a hate America rally in DC next week."

A thought I keep returning to — and that’s underscored by today’s news — is that a legacy publication or a deep-pocketed investor could hire an astonishing array of talent right now and make the best newspaper in America overnight.
Well, this is fucked up and depressing.

The way the mainstream media is treating Charlie Kirk’s bigotry is the way a highly dysfunctional family treats racist crazy pedo grandpa. “Oh come on, that’s just how he is, he doesn’t mean It, that doesn’t count.”
Hi @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social, we're friendly, we've been on each other's shows. We both agree Kirk's murder is horrific. Q: was Kirk "practicing politics in exactly the right way" when he called for me to be deported because he didn't like my Covid views on MSNBC?

![The Court is mindful of Justice Gorsuch's comments in his opinion in APHA and fully agrees that this Court is not free to "defy" Supreme Court decisions and is, in fact, "duty-bound to respect 'the hierarchy of the federal court system.'" APHA, 2025 WL 2415669, at *3 (Gorsuch,
J., concurring in part and dissenting in part) (citation omitted). Consistent with these obligations, this Court (and likely all district courts) endeavors to follow the Supreme Court's rulings, "no matter how misguided [it] may think [them] to be." Hutto v. Davis, 454 U.S. 370, 375 (1982) (per curiam). That said, the Supreme Court's recent emergency docket rulings regarding grant terminations have not been models of clarity, and have left many issues unresolved. California was a four-paragraph per curiam decision issued in the context of a stay application. It cited Bowen as good law, stated that the Tucker Act gave the Court of Federal Claims jurisdiction over contract claims against the federal government, and then stated that the district court likely](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qperocfvfqtoco3v276h55lx/bafkreici4baymxfjqgwxmkc5lfa5qppmsz2puktqlajwf7bauymh3belvm@jpeg)
![lacked jurisdiction "to order the payment of money under the APA," without purporting to explain how the case was distinguishable from Bowen or other related, longstanding precedents.
California, 145 S. Ct. at 968. Then, in APHA, four justices thought grant-termination cases belong, in full, in the Court of Federal Claims, and four justices thought they belong, in full, in federal district court, and the decision was controlled by the vote of a single justice. 2025 WL 2415669, at *1-16. The outcome, which no party had requested, was, thus, inconsistent with the views of eight justices, id. at *16 (Jackson, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part), and, again, provided little explanation as to how Bowen, which the controlling concurrence again cited as good law, id. at *2, applied or was distinguishable. This Court understands, of course, that the Supreme Court, like the district courts, is trying to resolve these issues quickly, often on an emergency basis, and that the issues are complex and evolving. See Trump v. CASA, Inc.,
145 S. Ct. 2540, 2567 (2025) (Kavanaugh, J., concurring) ("In justiciable cases, this Court, not the district courts or courts of appeals, will often still be the ultimate decisionmaker as to the interim legal status of major new federal statutes and executive actions."). Given this, however, the Court respectfully submits that it is unhelpful and unnecessary to criticize district courts for
"defy[ing]" the Supreme Court when they are working to find the right answer in a rapidly evolving doctrinal landscape, where they must grapple with both existing precedent and interim guidance from the Supreme Court that appears to set that precedent aside without much explanation or consensus.
