A win! A judge in Oregon ruled that the Trump administration may not withhold emergency preparedness funding from states that declined to submit updated population counts accounting for deportations, because population estimates are the responsibility of the U.S. Census Bureau; not the states.

Let’s be real, the DOJ isn’t going to prosecute itself. That’s why Congress is talking about using its own authority to step in using its own constitutional powers to enforce accountability.

Yesterday we were all waiting in the Epstein line. Today, the entire country has turned into investigators, tracking which files are disappearing. Sixteen gone so far. There’s been a remarkable amount of teamwork, with people working together to identify the missing documents.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

Good news! Judge James E. Boasberg just issued a serious warning to the Justice Department, signaling that he may open a formal contempt investigation into whether the Trump administration violated his order to stop deportation flights of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador back in March.

An interesting observation from @ausconservation.bsky.social’s CEO on whether a regulator OR a politician should be the ultimate environmental approval decision maker - “it’s much harder to make a donation to a regulator than it is to make a donation to a politician”. #environment #auspol

This is odd, it looks like the DOJ skipped suing Texas entirely. The Justice Department is now suing California over the new congressional district boundaries that voters approved just last week, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday in a post on X. Who are they going to sue, the voters?
