I think it's absolutely crazy that the United States did not already have a carrier group in position before this kicked off. Seems like a real caught with pants down moment.

Whatever else Biden did, he at least had carriers in position.

If you want top speed, Fortran is faster than C.

This lawsuit is on a really narrow ground: the law says that when the president calls up a state guard into federal service, the orders must issue through the state governor.

In this case, the President wrote the words "Through: The Governor of California" at the top of the memos. But he never actually sent anything to Gavin Newsom, or gave California any formal notice at all.

This suit also doesn't challenge the active duty marines, which are indisputably under Trump's chain of command. But they can't do domestic law enforcement unless the Insurrection Act is invoked (it hasn't, formally).

I counted around 30 Abrams. I don't necessarily think the number is "excessive", but the basis of comparison is Russia, China, and North Korea. For those, "excessive" is kind of the point of these things.

There was one time where the Soviet Union recycled one flight of bomber planes over the parade grounds multiple times, to make it look like they had more bombers than they really did. This resulted in the "bomber gap", causing the US to massively increase its spending on strategic bombers.

The source character set is implementation defined.

You could even choose the name this.

He was deported to Mexico (illegally), but he's a citizen of Guatemala. After that, he travelled from Mexico to Guatemala on his own. So his return to US was facilitated from Guatemala.

For all we really know the agreement with El Salvador is a guaranteed one way deal that we pay them to handle and they're refusing to play ball beyond that.

This seems to be the party line in the sealed ex parte filings that have been presented to judges. I've also seen allegations that the deal is a handshake deal only--nothing in writing.

Judge Boasberg at least is taking them at their word, with some strong warnings about perjury.

In 1953, the top bracket marginal income tax rate was 92%. And of course Europe and Asia were reeling from the loss and wealth destruction of the Second Thirty Years' War. But let's just not talk about that.

I didn't know that the feds accredited universities. When I was in school, the one that mattered for engineering was ABET or somesuch.

Probably better to use Grok, because that's what's going to read these things.

The short answer is that prosecutors do not have absolute immunity when conducting investigative and maybe administrative functions outside the courtroom.

I haven't read the mayor's complaint and how he pleads this.

Alina Habba is sued in her personal capacity. If damages are awarded, she is likely to pay out of her own pocket. Facts and evidence discovered during this litigation may also be relevant to her continuing to hold a law license.

The mayor was invited inside the fence line by a federal agent. When the feds changed their mind, he agreed to leave. That's not trespassing.
