This video arose from a very brief written op-ed piece that was published today, in even more succinct edited form, in Semafor (link below). But I'm including the full, unedited version of my original thoughts here in the attached image. www.semafor.com/arti...
Text in image begins: In response to: Should the world shift away from curbing emissions in the fight against climate change? (by Daniel Swain, Climate Scientist, University of California) The notion that the world should shift away from curbing climate-warming greenhouse gas emissions is extraordinarily divorced from the basic facts of the present moment. The last three years have been the warmest in recorded human history, and by a considerable margin—rather than slowing, as some have claimed, the pace of warming has likely increased over the past two decades. Indeed, the amount of heat-trapping carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere is now at its highest level in 3 million years, and last year’s year-on-year increase in this globally important atmospheric pollutant was the largest ever observed. Once merely a projection regarding the future, increasingly extreme heatwaves and torrential downpours have become an observed reality, directly threatening human lives and economies...

It’s because they have other sessions (F2, F3) scheduled between the practices so they can’t let it go longer than scheduled.

Despite admitting to having illegally sent a guy to El Salvador by mistake, and even though the U.S. is paying El Salvador to indefinitely imprison him, the DOJ is arguing that, well, nothing to do, it's not in our hands anymore. The general tone of their response is "welp, sucks to be him."
But there is no jurisdiction in habeas. Plaintiffs admit—as they must—that the United States does not have custody over Abrego Garcia. They acknowledge that there may be “difficult questions of redressability” in this case, reflecting their recognition that Defendants do not have “the power to produce” Abrego Garcia from CECOT in El Salvador. Mem. Supp. TRO Mot. 2. But even more, they concede that Abrego Garcia is not in Defendants’ custody. Id. (asking the Court to order Defendants to “request that the government of El Salvador return Plaintiff to Defendants’ custody”). Despite their allegations of continued payment for Abrego Garcia’s detention, Plaintiffs do not argue that the United States can exercise its will over a foreign sovereign. The most they ask for is a court order that the United States entreat—or even cajole—a close ally in its fight against transnational cartels. This is not “custody” to which the great writ may run. This Court therefore lacks jurisdiction.
