The Liberty Justice Center, with whom I worked on the tariff case decided by Supreme Court last month, has filed a compelling lawsuit challenging new Section 122 tariffs (following on a similar suit filed by 24 states). See my discussion here for more: reason.com/volokh/2026/...
Scoop: DHS ousted multiple privacy officers at CBP after they questioned orders to purposely mislabel records about government surveillance to prevent their release under FOIA.

“There are 137 hospices operating along Van Nuys Boulevard alone. More than half of them show signs the state has outlined as indicators of fraud.”
Just 🔥🔥🔥 from @davidjbier.bsky.social - incredible work by the principled libertarians at @cato.org
@davidjbier.bsky.social is so so good at this. He's my guest on next week's #WITHPod
Only ~ 20 million are allegedly undocumented. This 100 million stuff is naked ethnic cleansing as Bier said.
Bier's articles in CATO and elsewhere are great. Bier is the GOAT on immigration policy.
Proud of my Cato Institute colleague David Bier who stood his ground at a hearing today and talked back to bloviating Sen. John Kennedy (R-Louisiana). David responds to the clip and furnishes receipts. @cato.org
"What makes it so frustrating is how simple the fix actually is. Nothing radical is required. Ordinary, low-impact changes in mixed-use neighborhoods could just be allowed by default. Agencies could be required to act within real timelines before a permit is automatically granted."
I am not sure anything could have diverted what seems to be fanatical and poisonous anti-Semitism - shooting at synagogues can't be anything else - and I don't know how you staunch this. But I hate that Jews have to live in fear in Toronto, and in Canada. www.readtheline.ca/p/matt-gurne...
Trump's efforts to suborn the #NationalGuard for political repression ops is not over. My latest, out now:
A shocking number of people responding to this video clearly did not watch the video. David is extremely opposed to the Trump administration's terrorization of immigrant communities. He is describing serious problems with the current laws which make accountability difficult.
"Turns on."
My new Purity Litmus Test for any Democrat in politics is to at least talk like uhh this cato institute gentleman
This website struggles immensely with the normative/descriptive distinction.
Yes, David Bier is a leading critic of ICE's crimes. Some readers are misconstruing the quoted bit as if David somehow approves of the immunity he describes.
It's kind of depressing how many persons reacting to this don't realize David Bier is taking the same side as Sen. Merkley, deploring the effective immunity that insulates ICE agents from accountability.
Domestic #surveillance debate heats up. My latest, on @ms.now this afternoon.
Every second of free time you have ever had in your life was subsidized by the existence of the combine harvester.
Important ruling on immigration operations in Minnesota
Judge Tostrud (Trump appointee):

A headline reading “Camel pageant thrown into chaos after 20 competitors disqualified for using hump-plumping injectables”
Yes everything is terrible but let’s not lose sight of the fact that someone has written the Headline to End All Headlines.
From my colleague Solveig Singleton: don't turn banks into citizenship police.
Just another normal morning where the President of the United States shares completely false claims from a conspiracy theory site. I’ve confirmed with election officials in Maricopa County that this is 100% BS.
Good news from Annapolis: both houses of Maryland General Assembly have OKd bill to join interstate licensing compact for recognizing credentials of school psychologists as well as make it easier for military spouses to use existing credentials.

Okay, well I’m sure the *next* time they kill innocent people we’ll be able to trust the explanation they give
oh just a thought if your plan for overthrowing the Iranian government depends on the Iranian public rising up, you likely shouldn't have defunded the American government run news agency that speaks in Farsi.
