I'm telling you, boring old lawyers are now going to ABA panels to applaud hostile retorts to MAGA panelists and yell "you're a clown" at them.
A whole lot of people who merely furrowed their brows at Trump I are now seething with rage, and the Dem consultant class needs to wake up to that.
I'm bad a social media and late on the newsletter. Hope to see you at a show.
Bier: "Over the last 30 years, we looked at all the government budgets -- federal, state, and local combined. Immigrants reduce deficits by $14.5 trillion."
he is a pedophile who has dementia. none of this should be even slightly surprising and it's depressing that it is
In other words Trump-Netanyahu have effectively carried out massive uncontained poison gas attacks on Tehran and its people.
What the fuck @welch.senate.gov COMPETENT AND HONEST are you kidding us
Pam Bondi could protect her staff by not making them do unethical shit that might get them disbarred.
But that would make Trump mad, so instead she's planning to take over the state bars.

Jayapal Statement on Trump Ousting Noem “Good riddance. I called for Secretary Noem to be fired, to resign, or to be impeached yesterday, and now she has been. “Kristi Noem has overseen a lawless DHS that killed two Americans in the street, put children in prison camps, separated families, detained US citizens, led to 41 deaths in custody, and wasted millions of taxpayer dollars. “Congress still cannot fund DHS until there is real, tangible proof that this will be a meaningful, structural change.”
Kristi Noem has overseen a lawless DHS — good riddance.
My full statement on Trump firing her:
This is what weak and insecure people think confidence looks like: buffoonish bluster and swagger, like a 12-year-old bully. It doesn‘t inspire trust or security. It inspires grave concern for the lives of the people serving our nation whose fate is in the hands of these overcompensating oafs.
As Rep. Jayapal says, our reporting has found that these aren’t isolated incidents. Last October, we tallied more than 170 cases of U.S. citizens detained by immigration agents.
Here’s that investigation she’s referring to:
A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...
'UNIMAGINABLE CRUELTY': Judge Gary Brown, a Trump appointeee from NY, thrashes DHS' treatment of a man who came to the US at 9 as an abuse/neglect victim, has no criminal record and became a college grad.

At the risk of having this skeet blopped on my head in a couple of months, the birthright citizenship case is an incredibly easy case decided by straightforward text, and that’s part of why these amicus briefs are all such dunks.
That's NINE "again"s for those keeping track at home of the times the govt has tried to plead workload as an excuse for defying judicial orders.
The court order describing the failures of the DOJ lawyer who was found in civil contempt is breathtaking.
SAUSA Isihara's failures in the case are multiple and insane.

CRITICAL RACE THEORY? BROTHER, EVERY RACE IS CRITICAL
Saw this in Discord and it’s amazing
Whether it’s Trump’s immigration police killing civilians in the street or Democrats boycotting Trump’s State of the Union, both parties have gone too far.
Every ounce of pushback matters.
Don't listen to anyone who tells you this work will fail. It's working.
kind of amazing that everything trump does can be understood through the lens of narcissism and it's related needs (e.g., self aggrandizement, revenge, domination, grievance validation). i don't think any character has been so one-dimensional, not even wile e coyote or scrooge mcduck
A CBP agent or officer has been arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005 — and there's every reason to believe that ICE has similar cultural misconduct problems, as it's set to be turbocharged with 10,000 new officers. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountabi...
Just a remarkably stupid person.
Goldman to Lyons: "You said in your opening statement that references to ICE as 'the Gestapo' or 'secret police' encourages threats against ICE agents. The problem is you have it backwards. People are simply making valid observations about your tactics, which are un-American and outright fascist."
Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."
Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵
This is a wild departure from past practices. All the talk of the “Worst of the Worst” is a lie. Usually between 50-75 percent of ICE deportees have criminal records. We’ve turned ICE from a crime-fighting org into a racial profiling and ethnic cleansing operation.
