Dispatch from my new home, the Reflecting Pool — with @dfriedman.bsky.social
🚨Per @kyledcheney.bsky.social, earlier today the DOJ and Texas colluded with Reed O’Connor to erase a Biden-era regulation permitting immigration judges to administratively close removal cases.
Texas filed this morning, DOJ filed a consent decree hours later, and O’Connor entered final judgment.
When the President exempts himself and his family from IRS audits.
I still remember the memos in 2009-2010 telling adjunct faculty to cut back on our use of photocopiers and office supplies to save money.
A friend laughingly told me that I didn't work at a university, but at a hedge fund with a small college attached for tax purposes.

Trump: “Here is another example of a crazy pro-algae (likely paid) protestor.
The sign says, ‘First they came for the algae…’ which is in reference to a famous post-WW2 statement about Germans not speaking out against Nazis
‘…Then they came for the Jews, & I did not speak out—bc I was not a Jew “
Just 10 days after the company’s blockbuster IPO, buyers of its initial public shares are in the red.
