Jaw-dropping admission by DOJ to court. DOJ admits to having repeatedly made "material mistaken" representations to judge - ICE never had authority (under 2025 Guidance) to conduct arrests at immigration courthouses! DOJ admits court "relied on...prior misrepresentations." DOJ blames ICE (page 2)

This is hideous and horrible, and the people pushing for it deserve to spend the rest of their lives in a cage.

I can so relate to this.

Is the reason they had to dig back to 2019 because Trump is golfing?

More Americans voted for Senator Alex Padilla than for 48 of the 53 red state GOP U.S. Senators combined. That alone makes him a powerful senator.

A former Palantir employee sounding the alarm.The tech company, founded by Peter Thiel, claims they can revolutionize government systems with their AI-powered software.They’ve been hired by the DOD, the FBI, ICE,&even Wendy’s.Now DOGE will likely hire Palantir as well www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ95...

It would be cool if the mainstream media pointed out that this is fucking illegal

As a non lawyer I’m trying to square the Chevron decision with their opinion today where it states "On the contrary, as this Court has stressed, courts should and 'must defer to 'the informed discretion of the responsible federal agencies.'" Huh???

"White House officials point to an NSC structure that's filled with committees and meetings that they say slow down decision-making and produce lots of jargon and acronyms." They are completely clueless what the NSC does, and apparently they can't be bothered to learn what the acronyms mean.

The White House just dropped an executive order significantly shaking up operations at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the government’s nuclear safety regulator widely regarded as the “gold standard” for global nuclear power safety operations. I used to cover NRC closely. Here are some notes🧵

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes. We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

They had lawyers, trials, most were given pretrial release, allowed to testify in their own defense, got discovery, could call witnesses, could cross-examine witnesses, could present mitigation at sentencing, and had a right to appeal.

They estimate this operation has cost the U.S. over $16M which is low because it doesn't count the photo op flights in and out by Kristi Noem and Pete Hegseth. They built 1600 tents that ICE can't use because they are inhumane. My latest. Subscribe for free! open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Lisa Blatt—a Big Law attorney who bills herself as a feminist—argued that protecting migrant children from sexual abuse in detention is BAD because it will “actually incentivize illegal crossings” if they know they’re protected from rape. From @jaywillis.net: ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...

Here is a list of town halls taking place next week that you should show up at. I am sorry, I mean Chuck Schumer’s book parties. If there are any missing, please add in the replies. The only thing he should be doing today is cleaning out his office.

Many concessions have been made to Putin. Yet he still won't agree to a ceasefire. Read @mcfaulmike.bsky.social

When a federal judge explains the Constitution to the President like he’s a slow 2nd grader who never heard of it before, using his own Truth Social posts to give him a judicial atomic wedgie, something has gone amiss. Beryl Howell from the top rope. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Trump: “I think Russia has been acting very well.” Russia:

Well you really have to take the 60 seconds to listen so you can understand the people Trump has selected for leadership. This the director of Trump’s National Economic Council. WATCH, then READ @jonathanvlast.bsky.social’s brilliant backstory on Hassett. www.thebulwark.com/p/meet-kevin...

Interesting 3 part explanation from Bloomberg economist. Learned some new things www.tiktok.com/t/ZTYKPM7PG/

Today is January 6th and no one is watching the Capitol be plundered, feces being smeared on the walls, and police officers being stabbed with American flags. Why? Because one side believes in democracy no matter what, and the other side only believes in it only when they win.

Not one school shooter has ever been given the death penalty. Not one. U.S. government is seeking the death penalty for Luigi Magione. Proving that one rich CEO is worth so much more in this country than any child. Disgusting.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget

Absolutely *no* notes.

Meanwhile in Russia: Vladimir Solovyov and his guests discussed what Russia wants out of negotiations and how to achieve it. youtu.be/hULOZDqxv1Q

Old enough to remember when Bill Clinton letting donors sleep in the Lincoln Bedroom was the biggest controversy of the year. Now a gov't contractor spends over $200 million to buy an election, and the President-elect is just handing the government over to him. This should be a 🚨 story every day.
