United States Onurt of Appeals FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT No. 26-5050 September Term, 2025 1:25-cv-02471-ACR Filed On: March 6, 2026 Fritz Emmanuel Lesly Miot, et al., Appellees V. Donald J. Trump, President of the United States of America, et al., Appellants BEFORE: Walker, Pan, and Garcia, Circuit Judges ORDER Upon consideration of the emergency motion for a stay pending appeal, the opposition thereto, the reply, the amicus briefs, and the Rule 28(i) letters, it is ORDERED that the motion for a stay be denied.

BREAKING: DC Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, keeps in place a lower court order blocking DHS Sec. Noem’s effort to end Haiti temporary protected status designation.

Judges Pan and Garcia deny DOJ’s request to stay the district court order. Judge Walker would have granted it.

Haiti TPS is safe for now.

I have heard of / seen NOTUS mentioned and literally never went to check it out because my reaction was always "WTF is NOTUS?"

Good to know it's worth looking at.

I keep thinking about this weird thing where the DOJ is investigating Jerome Powell for allegedly lying to the Senate about renovations (even though no senators have accused him of lying), while Kristi Noem told the Senate Trump approved her $220M ad campaign and Trump himself said that wasn't true.

Umm- wtf is going on here?

I think this was an episode of the sitcom Last Man Standing.

Spice Girls performing on stage.

Skyline Spice? Odd that they'd name an ice cream after the Pete Best of the Spice Girls.

When the US/NATO bombed the Chinese embassy compound in Belgrade in the late 1990s, the eventual explanation (iirc) was that the CIA had used old maps when doing the targeting.

Which ties into "DoW's" fight vs Anthropic: When Hegseth says he just wants to be able to use Claude for "any lawful purpose", he skips the part where he thinks, if he deems something a matter of national security, anything done to defend it is automatically lawful.

HOT TAKE: State laws should (in effect*) provide non-incumbents X more days to file for election than provided to incumbents.

(* – eg, unless an incumbent files a binding statement of non-candidacy at least 10 days before the filing deadline, the deadline is extended 10 days)

Trump is a proud proponent of disproportional response.

"why THIS is the year?"

It's a variation on "The Year of the Woman" in Congress. And if it doesn't happen this year, next year will be the "generational change" year; repeat until it is.

Rob Reiner would have turned 79 today. He is missed.

This conversation with Rich Eisen — talking about directing Nicholson in “A Few Good Men” — is always a delight.

Will Trump's war with Iran end with a TACO?*

Screenshot of a post on the other site by the Wall Street Apes account and its attached video clip from Lindell TV, which shows someone from Lindell TV, in a hallway in a congressional building, in a walk-and-talk with Rep Nancy Mace (R-SC). The post says - WOW 🚨 The Republican Party is protecting Ilhan Omar from accountability. Then quoting Rep Nancy Mace saying, “I tried to subpoena her immigration records, her brother husband's immigration records, and IT WAS REPUBLICANS that killed my motion” [end quote] It’s a Uniparty. One Big Club. Link to that clip: https://x.com/WallStreetApes/status/2029691279555305592

Great thing abt Lindell TV for MAGA mbrs: To make a sycophantic walk-and-talk, they don't have to pay a staffer to pretend to be a reporter; they can use someone Lindell is paying to pretend to be a reporter.

HEGSETH: The Department of War must have full access to Anthropic’s models for any lawful purpose.
Q: Does lawful include under international law?*
HEGSETH: No.
Q: Does lawful include under treaties the US has signed?
HEGSETH: No.
Q: So if we do it, that means it's lawful?
HEGSETH: Yes.

And about Vance's framing: Trump "is not going to LET his country go to war"? They want us to think THAT's where we are – OTHER PEOPLE pressed us to go to war against Iran, and Trump LET IT happen? That's a heckuva framing for the Commander in Chief and President Donald J Trump.

I'm wondering if the ultimate problem was signing a contract with a minor or that using a minor meant their promotions were targeting minors.

According to election administrators and investigators, confirmed cases of unlawful voting are vanishingly rare. In a new Cato Podcast episode, Walter Olson and Stephen Richer explore how voter roll audits work and what the evidence reveals about the scale of the problem.

Ah, the Grenell/Ratcliffe maneuver.

Markwayne called Rand Paul a “freaking snake” last week and said he supported his neighbor beating the crap out of him. Let’s see who the chair of the Senate Homeland Security committee is…oh goody it’s Rand Paul.

Well, imagine that

I’m on a flight rereading the conclusion of Sleepwalkers, the great study of the beginning of World War I, and… well. Hmm. The powerful supranational organizations that mediate conflicts have been swept off the scene.

yup as a member of the Red Sox! and as a fist baseman, he turned an unassisted triple play!
