Trump admin selling off historic public art to the highest bidder

Good! He’s going to force the Supreme Court to eventually explain itself.
BREAKING: In a new case, Judge Randolph Moss issued an administrative stay this morning blocking the Trump admin from "moving, transferring, or removing from U.S. custody" the eight men the U.S. wants to send to South Sudan while the stay remains in effect. More to come at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com
![MINUTE ORDER: In light of Plaintiffs' motion for a temporary restraining order, Dkt. 2, the Court hereby ENTERS and administrative STAY pending further order of the Court to allow the government to gather the information it needs to respond to Plaintiffs' motion for a temporary restraining order and to provide time for a hearing on that emergency motion. See United States v.
Texas, 144 S. Ct. 797, 798 (Barrett, J., concurring) (describing administrative stays as "freez[ing] legal proceedings until the court can rule on a partys request for expedited relief"). Defendants are ENJOINED from moving, transferring, or removing from U.S. custody any Plaintiffs while the Court's administrative stay remains in effect. It is further ORDERED that the parties shall appear for a Zoom conference on July 4, 2025, at 12:30 p.m. Plaintiffs are hereby ORDERED to ensure that Defendants receive actual notice of this order. Signed by Judge Randolph D. Moss on 7/4/2025.

If someone doesn’t ask Karoline Leavitt why she posted on social media that this bill includes no taxes on Social Security when she knows it is a lie and she intentionally lied to the American people, everyone in the room should lose their jobs.

If the Senate's budget is enacted, millions will lose health insurance, millions will fall into poverty, and the national debt will increase by $3.3T.
All of this to provide a major tax cut mainly to the rich and big corporations.
There is no justification for this.

- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
