I dont think this is possible for the reason that it would never work longterm for a Dem push like this.

Hell, it might not work for even a GOP one as its specifically a trimming of the very power the Federalist Society lawfare system works.

He is, instead, a 59-year-old Long Island wine importer named Bill DeBlasio, who merely responded to an email from a journalist seeking his views on Democrat Zohran Mamdani’s policies.

“I’m Bill DeBlasio. I’ve always been Bill DeBlasio,” DeBlasio said in an interview conducted Wednesday evening through his Ring doorbell in Huntington Station, Long Island, from his current location in Florida.

“I never once said I was the mayor. He never addressed me as the mayor,” DeBlasio told Semafor Wednesday evening. “So I just gave him my opinion.”

Seattle-based U.S. District Judge Jamal Whitehead says DOJ’s demand serves an “improper purpose” of executing Trump’s orders targeting gender-affirming care.

For a second straight day, the Senate has voted to repeal some of President Trump's tariffs - this time on Canada. 4 Republicans voted for this plan: Paul KY, McConnell KY, Murkowski AK, and Collins ME. (It is DOA in the House.)

Rep. Chris DeLuzio says on @meetthepress.com Now that if Republicans want to fund the government without negotiating with Dems, they can nuke the filibuster. "They should have — and they already have," he says. "They don't use it for judicial nominees, they don’t need it for budget reconciliation."

NEW: The Trump admin just ended the practice of automatically extending work permits when people file to renew them — meaning that if USCIS takes too long to process a renewal the applicant loses their authorization to work legally.

The interim final rule applies to renewals filed after tomorrow.

This document is scheduled to be published in the
Federal Register on 10/30/2025 and available online at
https://federalregister.gov/d/2025-19702, and on https://govinfo.gov

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY: Removal of the Automatic Extension of Employment Authorization Documents AGENCY: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Department of Homeland Security (DHS). ACTION: Interim final rule (“IFR”) with request for comments. ______________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY: This IFR amends DHS regulations to end the practice of automatically extending the validity of employment authorization documents (Forms I-766 or EADs) for aliens who have timely filed an application to renew their EAD in certain employment authorization categories. The purpose of this change is to prioritize the proper vetting and screening of aliens before granting a new period of employment authorization and/or a new EAD. This IFR does not impact the validity of EADs that were automatically extended prior to [INSERT DATE OF PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER] or which are otherwise automatically extended by law or Federal Register notice.

the problem is that "lesson in there" is predicated on repercussions for those in leadership positions, a general social anathema that has resulted in much of the institutional failure and abysmal moral leadership that we have suffered up to and including now

James Brandt @jamesbrandt.bsky.social · 1d

Am I reading this correctly: the firms that opposed Trump's intimidation tactics have suffered no consequences, whereas the firms that struck deals gave away $900 million while jeopardizing any work with clients who have interests at odds with the government?

There's a lesson in there somewhere.
