good explanation here based on the order text: bsky.app/profile/gabr...

Can someone explain what "purg[ing] their contempt" means in this case? Is it just correcting the facts on the record, or would that require them to comply with the original order and return the plaintiffs to the US?

seems not, no public line listed in the PACER filings

is there a public call-in number for the conference? I can't seem to find one on the PACER records

I've had to update my teaching notes for American government a few times during this administration, but removing Strom Thurmond as the longest filibuster in history was not one I ever expected

I don't think the current administration understands the degree to which this will genuinely radicalize young people

I’ve long used FiveThirtyEight’s interactive “Hack Your Way To Scientific Glory” to illustrate the idea of p-hacking when I teach statistics. But ABC/Disney killed the site earlier this month :(

So I made my own with #rstats and Observable and #QuartoPub ! stats.andrewheiss.com/hack-your-way/

El Salvadorian*** not Venezuelan

NOTICE IN RESPONSE TO COURT ORDER In yesterday's 6:47 PM minute order, the Court ordered the Government to provide a sworn declaration on two points: the timing of the Proclamation and the fact that no individual removable under the Proclamation was removed from the United States after the Court's order at 7:25 PM EDT on March 15, 2025. That declaration is attached. The declaration also addresses a third issue the Court inquired about: estimates as to the number of individuals subject to the Proclamation. The Court also ordered the Government to address the form in which it can provide further details about flights that left the United States before 7:25 PM. The Government maintains that there is no justification to order the provision of additional information, and that doing so would be inappropriate, because even accepting Plaintiffs' account of the facts, there was no violation of the Court's written order (since the relevant flights left U.S. airspace, and so their occupants were "removed," before the order issued), and the Court's earlier oral statements were not independently enforceable as injunctions. The Government stands on those arguments. Moreover, given that the Government's motion for a stay remains pending before the D.C. Circuit, the Government should not be required to disclose sensitive information bearing on national security and foreign relations 1 Case 1:25-cv-00766-JEB Document 28 Filed 03/18/25 Page 2 of 3 until that motion is resolved, especially given that this information is neither material nor time- sensitive. If, however, the Court nevertheless orders the Government to provide additional details, the Court should do so through an in camera and ex parte declaration, in order to protect sensitive information bearing on foreign relations. Respectfully Submitted, PAMELA J. BONDI U.S. Attorney General

NEW: DOJ tells Judge Boasberg that it fervently objects to his requests for more information about deportation flights under the Alien Enemies Act, BUT if he insists, they could privately share some info (in camera, ex parte) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

yes, and that was one of the Judge's arguments for why this airspace-jurisdiction argument wouldn't hold up if I recall correctly

Boasburg seemed similarly skeptical of the govts position on oral v written orders, and I expect will be unsatisfied with its position on disclosing flight details, as he explicitly offered sealed submissions in the MO and the govt offers little new defense on this front

From reporting of yesterday's hearing (was in class, couldn't listen 😔), Boasberg seemed to disagree with the stance that exiting US airspace was sufficient, and that his order would compel the return of deportees after flights landed if they were not remanded to Venezuelan custody

US's req'd response to Judge Boasberg's minute order to explain several points in JGG v. Trump. Govt maintains that it did not have to follow an oral court order, does not need to provide flight details re MO.4, and that exiting US airspace constitutes "removal" drive.google.com/file/d/1SX6B...

I'll have a full breakdown & graphic when i can find the energy to sit through the rest of the speech again, but of the first 21:12 of last night's address, over 32% of the time was just applause

One thing I've noticed with most in the current generation of political reporters: they seem to have absolutely no comprehension of electoral environments. And thus every win or loss in their view can be traced to small, tactical campaign decisions. There's no systematic thinking in their analyses.

Now that Bluesky has started to take off, I've created a starter pack of US-focused public finance researchers, institutions, journals, etc.! We're not a huge field, but let me know who I've missed!

Purely speculative (ba dum tssss) but is anyone thinking about how a government agency named DOGE will cause trading algos that track social media mentions to inflate dogecoin prices? (& the obvious conflicts of interest for its chairs)

Well I'm fucked.

it's not even a political take atp to say the incoming trump admin is laughably unqualified and selected based on patronage
