Okay it seems to have mattered so far because that’s how he’s appointed acting officials in the past

To be appointed as an acting head Mullin would have had to have already been Senate confirmed for something else. Won’t work here

The claim here is that they’re not technically violating the orders, they’re just working around them. This isn’t something that can be solved through contempt.

So Susan Collins is over here voting against curtailing an unpopular war but we’re supposed to believe she’s going to redo her 2020 miracle reelection?

I can’t even tell if this is supposed to help Paxton or if he’s just restricting voting for the love of the game

Maybe if people stopped having nightmares about the 2020 upset we wouldn’t be stuck with the ancient establishment government an the uh *problematic* trust fund oyster farmer

I think every analysis of Collins’ chances has to take into account that Maine has shifted left since 2020 and the national environment is about to be *way* to the left. You can’t fight gravity forever.

The Court, IEEPA, and the Legislative Veto We're all trying to find the guy who did this

My take on Learning Resources v. Trump: the elephant in the room in Chadha and the legislative veto.

To be fair, the judge ordered the detainee immediately released when he could have just ordered a bond hearing

Tina Peters' lawyer appeals directly to Trump to make long-shot case for pardon | Colorado Newsline An attorney for Tina Peters addressed President Donald Trump directly in a letter to make the case that he should grant Peters a pardon.

If you recognize the name it was because he was last seen asking Trump to pardon Tina Peter’s’ state convictions coloradonewsline.com/2025/12/08/t...

What β€œextraordinary presidential powers?” All we know from this report is Tina Peter’s’ lawyer (who thinks the president can pardon state crimes) totally thinks this would work.

26.02.2026 17:37 πŸ‘ 8 πŸ” 3 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

So the lawyer who represents Tina Peters (and who tried, unsuccessfully, to convince a Colorado prison that Trump’s pardon freed her) thinks he found One Weird Trick to take over elections. This should go without saying, but he hasn’t.

Judge Quraishi says that if ICE keeps arresting people and detaining them without bond under the legal theory that has been rejected by hundreds of judges, and any of those cases come across his bench, he'll immediately order DHS and DOJ personnel hauled into court to explain themselves.

It bothers me how nobody seems to understand that this, trans people getting booted out of the military without their contractually obligated benefits, etc. is ultimately about if the promises of the government are worth a goddamn thing as long as the Republican Party exists.
