If you care about the rule of law, you should furious that Rep. McIver is forced to defend herself against trumped-up, bogus charges today while so many legitimate criminals are being ignored or pardoned by Trump & his cronies. thehill.com/regulation/c...

Trump is responsible for the soybean and beef farmer chaos we are watching unfold right now. Now, he wants to buy beef from Argentina, hanging our farmers out to dry. Until the GOP breaks from him on his mission of economic arson, they're #ArgentinaFirst

Portland said it best on Saturday: No kings.

And we’ll keep saying it until Trump gets the message.

No king will deploy militarized forces into our city.

We’ll stand united to protect our home and the people in it.

Recall that POTUS previously labeled this individual as a “known narcoterrorist” and the U.S. government tried to kill him on that basis.

But neither U.S. nor Ecuador are willing/able to prosecute.

With Trump and his cronies using the shutdown as cover to shut off the food stamp program, food banks will soon be flooded with demand from the 42 million Americans--including 16 million kids--who rely on the program. Which means the rest of us will need to step up and give whatever we can.
Thanks to Trump's Shutdown, Food Stamps Funding is About to Run Out. Republicans have just days to reopen the government before the crucial program is forced to halt. Article in the New Republic by Edith Olmstead, with a cover photo of Trump with his mouth open, looking like he's either yelling or just swallowed a fly.

To this non-lawyer, it seems bizarre that "war-torn," "anarchy," "insurrection," etc. can be essentially defined by POTUS. In short, it seems that he--and it's always a "he"--can simply declare a city is crime-ridden and then call in federal troops, regardless of the actual facts on the ground.

And although there is a procedure to seek *full* en banc rehearing (what we called "super en banc" when I was clerking), that procedure has never successfully been invoked.

The 10 judges are drawn from the pool of all non-recused active judges and any senior judges who were on the panel and wish to be eligible (so, Judge Graber would presumably be in the pool here).

Among other things, that means the "en banc" court could easily skew to either side of the split.

Just a reminder that "en banc" review in the Ninth Circuit is ... unique.

The full court (29 active judges, currently with a 16-13 D-R split) votes on whether or not to rehear a case en banc.

If so, then *10* judges are randomly drawn to sit with Chief Judge Murguia as the "en banc" court.

Georgia now refines Russian oil.

Another proof that the Russian takeover of Georgia must be addressed simultaneously with assisting Ukraine, not after. It’s too urgent to wait — and it’s not even costly to pressure the Georgian Dream.

I wish we didn’t have to keep meeting like this. @tessbridgeman.bsky.social, @bcfinucane.bsky.social and I unpack the weekend news involving the brief detention and repatriation of two survivors from the Administration’s recent boat strike for the @justsecurity.org podcast.

With U.S. strikes in the Caribbean continuing, experts unpack:
-detention of two survivors (and why they were repatriated)
-the ticking war powers termination clock
-how Congress can, and should, engage
-the erosion of norms on killings outside of armed conflict

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.
