Judge Boasberg has Issued a "Show Cause" Order in the Alien Enemies Act Case
There's a long process to hold someone in contempt, and a "Show Cause" order is a big and necessary step to that end.

Ahhh… Good to know that at 46 years old I can still miss my train at Grand Central, decide to pass the time at a bar, and miss the *next* train while drinking by myself waiting for it.
Fuck it. Garçon! I’ll have and miss another one!

So many Canadians are doing everything right. They’ve worked hard, secured good jobs, and saved for the future. But often, it’s not enough to buy a home.
It shouldn’t be this way. So we’re making it easier to buy your first home — and removing the GST on homes up to $1 million.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

DOGE plans to fire 430 workers at the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service — which helps low-income and small business filers.
Meanwhile, its wider agency layoffs will make it even easier for the rich to get away with skirting what they owe.

On this day in 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson told Gov. Wallace he would federalize the National Guard to protect Selma marchers. Alabama refused to defend justice, so the White House stepped in. A defining moment where federal power was used to uphold civil rights. #Selma
