This is bad. Really bad. File Habeus in El Salvador…or worse Texas or Louisiana.
#BREAKING: 5-4 Court, with Barrett joining the three Dem. appointees in dissent *vacates* Chief Judge Boasberg’s temporary restraining orders in the Alien Enemy Act cases. Judicial review must be available, Court holds, but has to come through habeas petitions:

I’m old enough to remember when Secretary Hegseth tried to publicly mock Judge Reyes—suggesting that she didn’t know what she was doing when it comes to protecting our national security.
It was … two days ago.

Schumer tells me Republicans might try to jam Democrats again in September, but thinks Trump will be less popular then and Republican appropriators might be more willing to stand up to him. He said they refused to do so now.

President Trump has spent years bashing electric vehicles. But with Tesla facing a backlash over Elon Musk’s role in his administration, the president said he wanted to buy one of the company’s cars. It was an extraordinary scene of a president using the backdrop of the White House to boost sales.

Older daughter is a 19 year old Engineering major. I realized if she’d been a boy she could be at Treasury right now transferring some rainy day funds into my retirement account and wiping our Plus Loan. But then I remembered, I also didn’t raise an asshole.
