Granted I’m a neophyte at this con law stuff, but why do the more conservative justices worry so much about presidential power while they seemingly care so little about Congressional power exercised with presidential blessing? And why is separation of powers formalism valued above flexibility?

The idea that the two shipwrecked Venezuelans were capable of “returning to the fight” would be an exception that swallows the rule, since all people in like circumstances could conceivably be rescued, recover from their injuries, and rejoin the “war.”

Two enthusiastic cheers for the ceasefire in Gaza, but crowing about peace in the Middle East has a bit of a “mission accomplished” feel ( for those who remember George W. Bush). Perhaps Trump can now work on peace in the Middle West.

Chicago mayor Richard J. Daley once famously said “the police aren’t there to create disorder, they’re there to preserve disorder.” For the Trump Administration, the federalized troops in Chicago are there to do both.

What we might refer to as a "Kavanaugh Stop"
WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status.
He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

The FDA statement ends with a paragraph undermining its own warning.
They signal parents to avoid acetaminophen. Except sometimes. And then:
No “causal relationship… established” with ADHD or autism
AND
Alternatives to acetaminophen have “well-documented adverse impacts.”

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion.
Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

U of MN’s Vaccine Integrity Project could be a great resource around which to build an upper-midwest health consortium.
1) Good news. (In the circumstances.)
2) Hey, VT, get moving!
3) How about IL/WI/MI/MN ?
4) Hey MD/DE, get started! And when (if?) Spanberger wins, VA too.
5) #4 will make room for DC.

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative.
The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

It feels like maybe Pulte is the one who should be investigated.
The mortgage fraud claim against Lisa Cook is false, per documents obtained by Reuters.
Bill Pulte's accusation, the sole pretext Trump used to fire her from the Fed, was that she claimed two homes as primary residence.
These docs show she did not.
