As opposed to Pete Hegseth, I believe in due process. That means I believe Hegseth should get a full trial. Then after he’s convicted of murder we put him in a fishing boat in international waters where we have the US military fire missiles at him. Due process at its finest.

I assume Amit Agarwal was chosen to defend independent agencies at the Supreme Court today because he's a former Alito and Kavanaugh clerk with a conservative pedigree. But he is doing a very poor job, and I think a progressive advocate with subject matter expertise would've been far more effective.

Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too?

A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.

“We're here today to express dismay that Leslie Wexner is avoiding service of a court ordered subpoena for deposition in the case of Richard Strauss," a former campus doctor said to have abused dozens of men.

OSU’s board chair is both the father & law partner of Wexner’s lawyer, Matthew Zeiger.

“We believe Wexner’s testimony will shed light,” former OSU wrestler Tom Lisy said about the abuse allegations against Dr. Richard Strauss.

One question I have is once this case is done, won't a future case come up on whether the president can ignore the requirement that agencies have members from both parties? President could just say that infringes upon his Article 2 powers.
The Supreme Court is almost certainly going to rule for Trump over independent agency firings that will transform the nature of the federal government. The only real question is how broad the ruling will be.

My report from inside the courtroom:

Since returning to office, President Donald Trump has fired multiple members of agencies that Congress set up to be insulated from political pressures.

Hasn't this been a consistent thing for Trump though? They give his lawyers the opportunity "please give us a governing principle that limits these powers, a reasonable fig leaf to tether to" and they consistently say "nope; Trump can order his critics murdered on the public interest legally."

I know firsthand from my mother’s own battle with Alzheimer’s how hard this disease hits families. I’m wishing Andy and his family the best as they navigate his dad’s diagnosis.

There’s so much more we can and should do to support families in this position.
A few weeks ago, my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. I won’t lie—it's been incredibly challenging for me and my family.

Now, I’m embarking on a journey to answer the questions so many of us face when it comes to providing care for our loved ones.

I hope you’ll join me.
