Remember when the Supreme Court gave a pass to a state that created a private right of action crafted with the purpose of evading federal law and judicial review?

States should experiment with a similar law to allow damages actions against federal agents in state court.

That'll go over well.

Today's "One First" explains why Stephen Miller is wrong that ICE officers have "federal immunity" from prosecution for all actions they take in their official duties, and that anyone attempting to prosecute them is committing a felony.

Supremacy Clause immunity is a thing, but it's *not* absolute:
186. When Can States Prosecute Federal Officers?
Stephen Miller claims that ICE officers have "immunity" for anything they do while enforcing immigration law. Even as an argument about *state* criminal prosecutions, that claim is overstated at best.

WSJ EDITORIAL BOARD: “.. It’s striking that Mr. Trump is so worried about a TV spot featuring a President who left the White House nearly 37 years ago. .. Perhaps Mr. Trump fears he’s going to lose the tariff case, and maybe he also knows his tariffs are unpopular ..”

The President isn’t describing an IQ test. He’s most likely describing a dementia screening and is describing it as “very hard.”

Trump: AOC is low IQ. If you give her an IQ test, have her pass like the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. Those are very hard…

The first couple of questions are easy. A tiger, an elephant, a giraffe..

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.

Giappone ha avuto Trump prima di US

Shinzo Abe nipote di un criminale di guerra
ha imbavagliato la stampa
intimidito le emittenti e falsificato le statistiche

ora Trump
il Partito Repubblicano e la Disney ripetono lo stesso copione

Japan had Trump before America did: Shinzo Abe, grandson of a war criminal, muzzled the press, bullied broadcasters, and faked statistics. Now Trump, The GOP, and Disney are replaying the script

The official USDA site is blaming trans people for SNAP benefits expiring.
“A screenshot of a webpage from fns.usda.gov showing a warning message in a brown box. The message claims Senate Democrats voted 12 times not to fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), states there will be no benefits issued November 1, and accuses them of holding out for healthcare for illegal immigrants and gender-related procedures. The USDA Food and Nutrition Service logo appears at the bottom, along with a blue ‘Menu’ button.”

“This city was built by the Irish escaping famine, Italians fleeing fascism, Black Americans fleeing slavery and Jim Crow, Latinos seeking a better life, Native people standing for themselves, Asian Americans coming together…”

En laat dit maar even tot je doordringen. Hopelijk leest Bontenbal dit ook. Het ‘stapelen van procedures’ is een verslaving van de Landsadvocaat. Zodra een rechter ten gunste van een asiel-aanvrager oordeelt, is de IND van de school; door beuken tot wij gelijk krijgen en mogen uitzetten.

Una briciola per tutti, insomma, e tante briciole fanno un pane.
Qui si può pagare in banca ma non è facilitato, anzi, perché gli costa tempo di sportello, e ci sono sempre meno sportelli. Quindi incasso online automatico e non ci pensi più.

Ah, in Italia pure al bar si pagano i bollettini; qui no, qui il bar fa il bar.
I bollettini esistono ma o hai la banca vicino (cioè abiti in centro) oppure online.

Nelle ultime 24 ore:
Israele bombarda in Libano (ennesima violazione del cessate il fuoco), colpisce anche l’Unifil, reclama il diritto di attaccare Gaza quando vuole, di decidere chi dovrà far parte delle forze di sicurezza internazionali nella striscia.
In Occidente tutto tace

Licei assaltati con svastiche e "W il duce" (Valditara ad oggi silente). Saluti romani a Predappio, gagliardetti X mas al cimitero.
Colpa della maggioranza che li fa sentire protetti e li giustifica; della magistratura che non colpisce; delle leggi troppo blande.
E pian piano l'asticella si alza...

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."
Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..." "not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..." "...you're rich. If you have, whatever-" "- yachts and planes and islands and you STILL need more? You're not rich."
