By what is effectively a 9-6 vote, the en banc Fourth Circuit has vacated an injunction blocking DOGE from accessing Social Securit data (that #SCOTUS had previously stayed).
Much of the drama is over the precedential effects of #SCOTUS's June 2025 intervention:

Perhaps letting the entirely partisan Speaker of the House (as they always are, as they always must be, if they want to get elected Speaker in the first place) decide what gets a vote and what does not get vote is not the best way to ensure legislation is daily business.

My Democratic colleagues and I showed up on the House floor today to do our job and defend Congress’s Constitutional war powers.
Republicans refused to even recognize our resolution.
They’re choosing this war, and Trump’s violence and chaos.

Let's be clear: it's not necessarily the racism that the Alabama Supreme Court is fine with. It's Gestapo-level powers and immunity for the police that the court is fine with. And that's worse because as anyone in Minneapolis can tell you, police will turn that against *everyone*.

Is Rutte trying to get fired from his role at NATO? Does he get a severance package upon termination but gets nothing if just quits?

A blistering piece from @bobcesca.bsky.social today:

The 25th Amendment has a smaller chance of removing Trump from office than impeachment since it will require 2/3 vote from both chambers of Congress when Trump petitions congress that he is fit to serve

For the folks out there who haven't read the 25th Amendment, understand that it is not invoked by congress. It is invoked by the president's cabinet.
Trump stacked his cabinet with loyalists. They aren't going to remove him.
Even if he starts shooting them.

Even the lawyer who wrote the amendment says it won't work because this is not at all what it was written for.

the situation in iran is finally clearing up:
- there's still a war
- the only country engaged in a ceasefire is the united states
- the strait of hormuz is apparently going to a subscription model
- there are precisely zero points of actual agreement

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽♂️

Guards were watching a woman crying on the toilet & laughing.
MEN CAN SEE WOMEN USING THE BATHROOM.
The toilets are COVERED IN URINE. The toilet paper is wet. There's no privacy.
PEOPLE WERE SCREAMING. There wasn't even enough room to lie down. They are depriving people of food.

Ceasefire or not, America can’t continue with this kind of “Look at me, I’m a crazy former reality show star, tune in to see what I’ll do next?!?” insanity. Donald Trump has to go.

a longer-term effect of this is that there is little reason for governments to negotiate with democratic administrations knowing that a republican administration will come in, undo any deal, and ultimately put the U.S. in a worse position at the cost of a few hundred civilian lives
