Trump: "The ones that are run by radical left Democrats -- what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They're very unsafe places & we're gonna straighten them out one by one. This is gonna be a major part for some people in this room. That's a war too. It's war from within"

For context Hegseth was basically fired from every job he had, including resigning from his national guard duty because he had a Deus Vult tattoo. He got fired from all his other jobs for drinking and abusing women on the job.

has there been a single piece of political rhetoric that has inspired more mass shootings than great replacement?
A story no one is talking about - last week's high school shooting in Denver.
16-year-old white boy radicalized online and promoting white supremacist and anti-Semitic conspiracies, inspired by - and a fan of - terrorists who promoted replacement theory.

SCOTUS has used the Major Questions Doctrine to block Biden’s exec order on student load debt but trump’s EOs (banning DEI, cutting global aid) also lack official congressional backing
MDQ says if a federal agency wants to do something major, Congress must clearly approve it. MQD cuts both ways!

At the end of the bill, there are two major restrictions on the judiciary and on litigation:
First, the below bans judges from enforcing contempt unless there was an FRCP 65(c) bond (rare in civil rights suits). Obviously aimed to stop Boasberg.
Second, they would bar money damages in settlements.
