With all these options remaining, why does the fate of thousands of criminal prosecutions in this District potentially rest on the legitimacy of an unprecedented
and byzantine leadership structure? The Government tells us: the President doesnβt
like that he cannot simply appoint whomever he wants. Notwithstanding the chaos that pervades criminal prosecutions in this District, and without regard to the
possibility that scores of dangerous criminals could have their cases dismissed or convictions eventually reversed, βthe [E]xecutive branch, at least right now, is not
prepared to . . . use [the legal] options.
A federal judge STRIKES DOWN the District of N.J.βs post-Alina Habba regime, consisting of a βtriumvirateβ of so-called βspecial attorneys.β
Judge Brannβs blistering opinion warns that βscores of dangerous criminalsβ can have their convictions reversed if Trump insists on illegal appointments.

A veto of the 60-day pre-eviction notice tells people that you want them evicted into the cold earlier and that youβre unwilling to protect our immigrant neighbors.

'Ridiculous': Kristi Noem's 28-year-old aide wasted millions on unusable ICE vehicles
A former deputy to outgoing Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem saddled the department with millions of dollars in wasted funding for vehicles that cannot be used.U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcem...
A Noem aide spent $3 million on pickup trucks emblazoned with the ICE name & logo, which ICE agents -- notoriously averse to advertising their presence -- will not drive, so they're just sitting in a lot, useless. The contract went to a Trump donor who owns a regional Chevy dealership.

The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.
A senseless, criminal waste
