OVERLOOKED: Boasberg opinion nixing Powell subpoena relies on 2020 #SCOTUS ruling on NY demand for Trump tax info. He lost but court said judges can halt harassment by subpoena

Trump just handed Democrats a gift by openly bragging that spiking oil prices mean "we make a lot of money," forcing panicked industry execs to run for cover as the public sees they're profiting from his disastrous war.

Pam Bondi is privately panicking because the administration is losing almost all the legal battles over its haphazard detention agenda, as cases from traumatized migrants are skyrocketing and judges keep ruling against them.

I have absolutely no doubt that come the midterms the GOP in Texas is going to do every single thing it can to suppress votes, including causing as much confusion as possible on Election Day. The GOP cannot afford to lose the midterms in Texas so be prepared for all kinds of shenanigans.

While bombs are falling on Iran, Kash Patel has fired the FBI experts on Iranian sleeper cells in America, and people are speculating that Trump’s trying to provoke an Iranian attack on the US to justify blowing up November’s elections.

a. Discovery Related to Selective Prosecution Claim
The Government has refused to comply with the simple and direct requests for communications from the White House or Trump Administration officials regarding this investigation and prosecution. Instead of simply stating that no such communications exist – which it almost certainly cannot do, given some of the facts recited above – the Government erroneously asserts that the Defendants have β€œnot satisfied the threshold required” to obtain this type of discovery. Indeed, this response implies that such communications do, in fact, exist. (Ex. F, at 2).

They say the U.S. attorney's office "has refused to comply" with requests for communications from the White House.

The IEEPA Tariffs Are Gone. The Damage Is Done. Next time the courts face patently illegal tariffs, they should not wait so long to put an end to them.

"10 months of tariffs will take a generation to undo. One hopes that the courts will keep that in mind the next time this or another administration enacts patently illegal tariffs," write @stratospahis.bsky.social.

Vance: A lot of people in the media said that the reason we made a change at DHS is because we are backing off of our illegal immigration policy. That couldn't be further from the truth. The reason is because Kristi Noem has a great opportunity to serve in this Shield of Americas position
