Reversing Judge Cobb, DC Circuit rules, 2-1, that Trump's expansion of "expedited removal" procedures to the max— basically to any noncitizen here illegally who can't prove 2 years' residence—is likely lawful. Walker/Rao in majority; Wilkins dissents.

The Trump administration just paid Invenergy $765 million to cancel four wind projects. That brings the running total to roughly $2.5 billion in taxpayer money spent to stop energy from being built. Think about that. At a time when electricity demand is rising,

To underscore: the 1910 law in question wasn't passed by the elected local government of DC - because DC had no elected local government between 1874 and 1975. It was passed by *Congress.* And it doesn't contain any language exempting federal buildings, or suggesting it doesn't apply to them.

GW never said this and neither did anybody else. The only official symbolism in the Flag Resolution is the stars are "representing a new constellation." The rest is just an iteration on the Red Ensign, and likely the East India Company's white stripes on it. The colors have no particular meaning.

The "Trump Kennedy Center" acted like Trump himself; they outright ignored binding contracts, bullied subcontractors, and seem to have outright stolen millions of dollars that pursuant to a binding contract they were only managing for the benefit of the WNO.

Trump asks that his cert petition in E. Jean Carroll II ($5 M verdict for sex abuse & defamation) be heard together with cert petition in Carroll I ($83.3M for def), which will be filed soon. SCOTUS has "relisted" (put off) decision on Carroll II cert petition 13x—possibly for this reason.
