The Supreme Courtās majority has ā in a total of five paragraphs over two orders ā allowed Noemās effort to end TPS for Venezuelans to proceed in opposition to seven rulings from seven judges, amounting to 227 pages of opinions. No, numbers and pages arenāt ultimately what matters. But ...

Supreme Court lets Noem end legal status for many Venezuelans in the U.S.
The majority gave virtually no reasoning. The Democratic appointees objected, but only Justice Jackson wrote: "[Y]et another grave misuse of our emergency docket."

It's not just bribery. He's now using personal litigation, backed by state extortion, to extract "settlements" which he then puts into an account he created to spend on government work, all entirely outside of Congress taxing or appropriating. It's full Charles I illegal taxation and spending.

BREAKING: ICE is sending Russian dissidents back to Russia. When the dissidents arrived in Russia, the Russian authorities were given documents relating to their asylum applications in the US which under US law are confidential. This seems to be part of a secret agreement between Trump and Putin.

This isn't an "administrative error." Every single federal employee receives record keeping training. The next administration needs to prosecute everyone responsible for this. Yes, there are bigger abuses we'll need to prosecute too, but records are paramount.

It's going to quickly become clear that controlling the treasury is like controlling the military. It won't matter what Congress says or does if the Executive Branch goes rogue and challenges them to enforce the law. The White House physically controls the guns and the money.

At no point in this entire article of 16 paragraphs does ABC mention that another cop killed this cop by shooting her in the back. Nor does it mention the name of the cop who killed this cop. Nor does it mention that the civilians involved never fired at them. ABC might as well be state media.
