They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Every real economist in America warned at the time he was imposing tariffs that it would affect each of these things, and deportations have affected the ability of farmers to access labor. This is all happening because of one man.

Trump is backpedaling on his support for the release of the Sept. 2 boat strike video.
On December 3, he said he would have "no problem" releasing the video.
Today, he said he "didn't say that" (he did) and now says, "whatever Hegseth wants to do is OK with me."

Seeing this news is so weird for me because in 1989 when I was a baby 25-year-old corporate litigator in Manhattan, one of the first things I worked on was Warner Communications Inc.'s defense against a hostile takeover bid from Paramount Communications Inc.

Holy shit this back and forth between Kagan/Alito/Jackson/&the SG.
Kagan: Doesn't your logic mean a whole raft of other agencies must be invalidated?
SG: Yes, but that's not being litigated right now
Kagan: So what?
Alito: What if we just want to say "but maybe don't apply our logic elsewhere?"

The Supreme Court is almost certainly going to rule for Trump over independent agency firings that will transform the nature of the federal government. The only real question is how broad the ruling will be.
