In my opinion after years of knowing Wahls, talking to him, and pressing him on some hard questions (re: cover for a sexual predator), his ethics are dubious at best, and he has yet to answer for the $250K he solicited from FTX. He is unserious about anything but himself. Iowans need to know that.

Iowa, we gotta have a talk about Wahls. He's not the right choice for Iowa. Zach Wahls elevated Nate Boulton to a position of power - despite being credibly and repeatedly accused of sexual assault. And that's before his ageist, sexist text screed to colleagues re: that crypto $250K from FTX

Pam Colloff's work is always incredible. This is no exception.

It says a lot more about the US men's hockey team than Patel. We know how disgusting Patel is - now we see how disgusting team USA is. Gross as hell. Patel? Low hanging fruit. Call out the team, their coaches. Jesus.

This is some performative bullshit right here.

No, he cannot send a "hospital ship" to Greenland. Media: comport yourselves appropriately. Do not watch his twitter feed ffs.

The media needs to stop covering tweets like they are legally binding documents that have gone through some legislative process. Jesus. This is simple folx.

Reminder: An angry tweet from a man who is without a soul/lost the plot isn't policy nor is it law

Vox is the Semafor of The Free Press

Somalia's TPS will end on 17 Mar 2026 - has anyone in the legal community seen a motion for injunction against Noem/Trump illegal revocation (see Haiti injunction) of this status? There are a reported 260K Somalis in US - mostly MN. ICE hasn't gone away. They are waiting in other parts of the state

For once the all caps is justified. #tariffs #learningresources & #vosselections vs. #trump

Adding: US may have violated legal order (Scotland) removing Georgian national from alleged Venezualan tanker (flagged RU). With help from the UK Government, the US has acted extrajudicially and provided no location or charging information. www.biicl.org/blog/123/us-...

December 2025 - Israel recognises Somaliland statehood at UN, reportedly to forceably remove (war crime) Palestinians. Project 2025 lauds the recognition of and enthusastically supports Somaliland Statehood. January 2026 - Noem/Miller/Trump revoke TPS for Somalians in USA.

Um.

BREAKING — WE WON! DC Superior Court Judge Darlene Soltys ordered the DC Metropolitan Police to produce ALL body cam footage of the March 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace within 14 days. Thanks to my @rcfp.org lawyers for their tireless work. Details on thehandbasket.co later today!

Follow @rsf.org - there are many elections upcoming and we need all the press light we can get.

This is exactly what I was talking about. Section 2241 cases in the Indiana district courts in numbers I've never seen. (Have a secret method to see what's happening.) Filing list in the NDIN and SDIN since 1/30/26 below.

A small bombshell on rule of law conditionality from Luxembourg today: Advocate-General Capeta finds in her opinion that Commission was not allowed to unfreeze EU funds to Hungary in December 2023 and proposes that the Court of Justice annul the decision: curia.europa.eu/site/upload/... Thread:

I mean, ICE can get a judicial warrant, it's not that hard.

We have received numerous credible reports of torture, killing, and inhumane treatment of detained individuals at the Camp East Montana migrant detention facility, located within Fort Bliss. #txlege

There seems to be a specific trend here.

Start correcting people who refer to the United States of America as America. There are a bunch of American sovereigns. Calling things by their correct names = important.

Canada: America [North] United States: America Mexico: America Honduras: America [Central] Colombia: America Chile: America [South]

Does anyone in UK/Scotland law community know what if anything is going on with the 27 January 2026 interdiction then subsequent US military rendition of Avtandil Kalandadze, the Georgian national? (Also, Irish fishermen are better at thwarthing shadow fleet(s).)

@car2254.bsky.social ---weren't we just talking about something like this?

#ResignationInProtest Minneapolis US Attorney Office — Pt 6 This NYT article identifies another prosecutor who resigned in protest from the MPLS US Attorney’s Office: - Harry Jacobs, Chief of the Criminal Division, who, with Joseph Thompson, started their own law firm: www.thompsonjacobs.com/team

I'm genuinely curious if new(er/ish) US political observers have not understood until (maybe) recently that religon (right wing evangelical christian theocracy enthusiasts) is critical to white supremecy?

Pretermiting is happening in IC courts everywhere. It is a quasi-"legal" rule allowing ICE lawyers to "pretermit" asylum seekers following the legal process to - legally - stay in the US. Think of it this way: the feds are kettling immigrants to a courtroom to have them removed without cause.

Court watchers: Hold on to your butts. Read that crazy - and I mean bananas - ruling out of the 5th circuit. Then, sign up eligible friends, colleagues for new trainings. The Regime is moving the ball (in my opinion illegally, by fiat and a lot of Noem lies) so quickly IJs are caught off guard.

THIS - legacy media is just f'ing journalistic malpracticing all over the place. God almighty.

Congress has exclusive power of the purse. The Executive cannot withhold allocated monies because he has big feels about Bad Bunny, terrible polling, and all those Epstein Files. Seriously - let's get it together legacy media. Fuuuuuuuuudddge.

Do people writing these things just not get it? Seriously? This money is being stolen - withheld by a lawless president. It's been allocated. It's not his money. It's the people's money. This framing is bullshit. I can't with this

"I hardly knew the Cannibal King. I am very busy, working on very important projects, like robots, space exploration, and AI-generated pornography. Besides, I don’t need someone to help me abduct, kill, cook, and eat people. I could easily do that on my own if I really wanted to."

Democrats who voted for the LRA need to be primaried.

Citizens United I rest my case.

This is the test set down by SCOTUS in Sosa [2004] Specific Obvious Universal The United States has in fact defined and codified IHL - through caselaw and TVPA 1991. US lawyers must expand understanding and flexibility in application. There is no deference to a policy that is illegal on its face.

gotta agree with this. at some point we all have to contend with what good faith is actually for and extend it accordingly

Revealing undercover ICE agents by offering them the last donut in the box and seeing them take the whole thing.

While the U.S. goes for gold & aims to be the best at the Olympics, it's already #1 among independent democracies when it comes to mass incarceration – and that’s nothing to celebrate. So much for the “land of the free.”

Just going to repost this from November 2025 for people who do not belive IL/IHL impacts the US. Despite our being bound by the Charter and multi/bi-lateral treaties, we ignore IHL across the board. But other states do care about IHL and therefore will not be accomplices to our atrocities.

I do not recommend watching IMF Livestream - repeat - just don't right now.

I cannot stand the "this is a good start" discourse. The Democrats in Congress do not want to abolish ICE. They have proposed a series of bog-standard reforms regurgitated by a think tank. Everyone knows they do not work. The Democrats supporting this do not care. They just want to move on.
