Meanwhile, rather than looking at the claims for power availability and sources, not to mention water (see US reports of massive pollution as well as excessive water usage) the UK government is taking the ‘easy way out’ - reducing any safeguards.
We will be left holding the can when these fail as the bubble deflates before finally popping.

While the resolution is largely symbolic 😞, & does not fully carry the force of #law 😞😞, it reflects the growing concerns from a number of #Republican lawmakers in both the #House & #Senate over both the #war & the “deal” #Trump struck with #Iran to end it. The House approved the resolution earlier this month.

#US #intelligence contradicts #Trump’s justification for mass #deportations
[wait, what!?!?, but but but…are you saying that #felon47 LIED?????!!!!?!!?!?!?!!]
The determination is the most comprehensive assessment to date undercutting Trump’s rationale for deporting *suspected* *gang members* without #DueProcess.#law #immigration #UnitedStates #democracy #federalism #ChecksAndBalances #CoEqualBranchesOfGovernment #SeparationOfPowers #Autocracy #Tyranny

During ordinary times, this accommodation would reflect an appropriate respect for the constitutional #SeparationOfPowers. In dealing with this Administration, with its maximalist conception of executive authority & its contemptuous attitude toward the #judiciary, the Justices are being played for fools.

That, the govt argued, would intrude on the President’s sole power to conduct foreign relations. So the govt’s responsibility here is to, what, maybe issue #AbregoGarcia a Global Entry card to cut the #immigration line if he somehow turns up at a #US airport? This defiant position cannot stand—not if the rule of #law is to survive.

We have just passed the 11:30AM deadline, & #Trump’s #DOJ has not filed a response as ordered – per Kyle Cheney.
The hearing is still set for 1PM.

Here we go
#Trump asked #SCOTUS on Friday to lift a temporary order blocking him from using a 1798 law to swiftly deport *alleged* #Venezuelan gang members as part of his 2-month-old admin's hardline approach to #immigration.

The #Trump admin invokes the #StateSecrets privilege, saying it will give Judge #Boasberg no more information about the #deportation flights to inform his decision about whether the govt defied his order.

Holy crap
In a new affidavit in #AEA by someone turned around in #ElSalvador, they swear the following:
"Within a couple of minutes of take off I heard two US government officials talking and they said 'there is an order saying we can’t take off but we already have.'"

Judge just said “#Nazis got better treatment under the #AEA”
They had hearing boards.
The people #Trump deported had no opportunity to apply for habeas. The planes started leaving 2 hours after Trump’s proclamation was signed.

Regarding this #SpecialGovernmentEmployee shit:
#AdolphMusk is still breaking the law in ways that indicate a #coup.
U.S. #Lawyers! Or #lawstudents! Why can't some special branch of U.S. law enforcement show up at Elon's house and say 'You're under arrest'?
Since Trump LITERALLY said on camera that his mistress #ElonMuskrat does nothing without his o.k., then Trump signed off on stuff that overrides the constitution, U.S. law, and eliminates #checksandbalances. #Project2025 be damned. How is he not arrested too?
