outer_web··on Signal war plans messages disappear from CIA director's phone
Trump v. United States. He could theoretically be impeached but if Congress wasn't going to it after he kinetically attacked them, it's not going to happen.

Others: pardon power.

You flag posts with politics because you don't like having been flagged?
outer_web··on Doge Is Far Short of Its Goal, and Still Overstating Its Progress
Finally the government is run like a business - a magical world outsourcing, capricious decisionmaking, and c-suite self-delusion.

I am so glad we slaughtered the Deep State that made us ... checks notes ... the global hegemon.

Agree with your conclusion but the SCOTUS order was much softer than that, slapping the lower court's terminology while passing the enforcement burden back down (and all but ensuring another trip upwards).

I mean I don't know that it's their policy but it sure looks that way.

> Now, some of these suppliers are trying to keep their businesses humming by offering a simple—but illegal—solution to U.S. Amazon sellers: lying about the value of the Amazon merchandise you are importing to the U.S. in an effort to lower the duties you’ll have to pay under the new slate of tariffs.

> The district court overstepped by saying you must 'effectuate' his return, but you must 'facilitate' it

So, I guess, if El Salvador decides to comply with the SCOTUS decision, the US has to provide a plane. Or maybe a bus. Seems like due process is purely voluntary at this point.

I just can't imagine being the guy who decides to litigate this as long as possible knowing they renditioned an innocent father.
