Tapping the XKCD sign again to explain that no, I won't be seeing an aurora tonight. Or at least I really hope not. That would be bad. :)

‘K I have an idea: Trump needs to be convinced that the only thing standing between him and the Nobel Peace Prize is STEPHEN MILLER. (Whether or not he is actually in contention for the NPP is irrelevant to this operation.)

Honestly still can't believe that I wrote this headline today, let alone that the U.S. Supreme Court's majority did so.

SCOTUS allows Trump admin to deport people to random countries with no notice
Justice Sotomayor called the order a "gross ... abuse" of the court's authority. Also: Law Dork in the media.

Now up on @lawfaremedia.org: my deep dive into the domestic and international law surrounding whether the Trump administration can join Israel’s war against Iran.

The Law of Going to War with Iran
Right or wrong, the executive branch likely thinks Trump has the legal authority to do it—at least until Congress or the courts say otherwise.

I am very, very happy to be wrong. I'm glad especially to see independents split on this.
I was pretty sure the protests would create a more even split, but Trump being down 15 points on this one issue tells me I was too worried.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.
