Holy crap. The DOJ is arguing that the President can unilaterally deport anyone he wants without ANY statutory authority, just on his inherent authority as President over national security.
That is a terrifying claim to make and not one that has ever been recognized before in US history.

Increasingly seeing good sized subreddits (at least r/NBA and r/lotr in the last few minutes) ban Twitter links. Feels like a big deal, particularly in light of Twitter downgrading posts with links.

A new piece by Salim Furth makes important points on the relationships between homelessness and housing supply, which is more complicated than some analyses suggest: worksinprogress.co/issue/why-ho...
Why housing shortages cause homelessness - Works in Progress
Why do high-cost cities have more homelessness? It's not just about rents — it’s also about the rooms friends and family can’t afford to share.

The Court just denied cert in Sosa v. Martin County, leaving in place CA11's horrible en banc decision.
So cops in FL, GA, and AL are still free to jail people for up to 3 days w/o consequence if anyone else in the country with the same name as the arrestee has an outstanding warrant.

Filed an amicus brief today on behalf of a bunch of guys named David Sosa to explain to the Court why the Constitution doesn't allow the police to jail someone for three days just because someone with the same name has an outstanding warrant somewhere in the country: https://bit.ly/43Ucn5C

R's strength has mostly been two-fold:
1. It's free, so the barrier to entry (either in learning or expanding it) is massively lower than Stata
2. It gained wide use among young people who had lots of free time, little cash, and comfort learning new tech
After that it's just network effects.

Part of what I accomplished his summer was to learn R. While I’m still far from an expert, I think I know it well enough now to ask: why the hell did we choose this kludgey nightmare over Stata?

I try not to do much punditry on the Trump legal stories - there are a few reporters who are good on it, read them! But my interest in all this is the moral hazard of not punishing election interference. You don't want a status quo where the loser can try to overturn the election for months.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that the FTC's case here was one of the weakest arguments I've ever seen from a federal regulator on a high profile issue. Not a terribly surprising decision.
