@MorosKostas DC's En Banc petition remains un-posted online. Sketchy.

They scream in terror that California saw a surge in magazines during freedom week, and they need to prevent that.
But California could point to no harm that resulted from that! And they later admitted in a different oral argument (Sanchez v. Bonta I think) that none did.
The fact that DC has banned magazines over ten rounds so long is a reason to NOT stay this ruling - that constitutional violation has persisted long enough.

DC asks the court to take the case that struck down its magazine ban en banc without asking for a response, saying that the decision "causes immediate and severe risks to public safety" and "opens the floodgates for large-capacity magazines [] to surge into the District."

The willful disingenuousness of this tweet is so tiresome. Ask Americans whether they want to have to prove their citizenship by providing a physical birth certificate or passport in order to register to vote. Then we'll have some sense of whether they support the SAVE Act.

@MorosKostas And the court doesn't even post the brief.

This is a pretty legendary crashout by DC. An antigun jurisdiction loses just one hardware case, and:
1. They demand its precedential value be immediately stayed even before the court decides whether to en banc it (literally no precedent or rules exists to do that!)
2. They want the en banc decision be expedited and deny Benson even a chance to reply to the petition!
3. If the court ignores this DC will be flooded with magazines and everyone will die!
They are pretty much trying to bully the court into granting en banc, I think.
It's an excellent preview of New Jersey's crashout if they lose in the Third Circuit.

La localisation du porte-avions français Charles de Gaulle rendue possible grâce à l'imprudence d'un marin utilisant l'application de running Strava, rapporte Le Monde. En faisant son footing sur le pont, il révélait la présence du navire.

@HowardMSklar @gunpolicy I am guessing they haven't posted the brief intentionally. DC requested expedited procedures for the en banc. The court not posting the brief trips up the other side. One or two days less time for Benson, USG and others to review plus a shortened schedule. Shifty.
English
@gunpolicy They still, as of a minute ago, have not posted the actual brief in support of their en banc motion. Just the motion to expedite.
Is that a District thing? Anyone?

Washington DC filed an en banc petition today in the case that struck down the city’s magazine ban (the docket doesn't currently show a downloadable document for the filing): efile.dcappeals.gov/public/caseVie…

Trump won't share the burden with NATO allies of providing economic and military aid to Ukraine in its fight against Russia -- a genuine threat to NATO -- but Trump begs NATO allies to share the burden of his war against Iran. Amazing.

It is foolish to think the Straights of Hormuz could already have been taken under control by the US military given other tactical and strategic priorities. One must keep things in perspective. The Straights are a low tactical priority but high strategic priority.

Headed back to the Senate floor to defend the SAVE America Act from Democrat lies.
Protecting our elections is common sense and wildly popular with the American people. Tune in at senate.gov/legislative/fl…

There’s a word to describe those who will be stopped from voting under the SAVE America Act
They’re called noncitizens

I would love to see the Iranian people liberated from the repressive theocracy that has terrorized them for four decades. If Trumps war achieves that objective, I will withdraw my criticism of his war and praise him.

The United States has the greatest navy in the world. Not really sure why Trump is begging for help to execute his war in the Strait of Hormuz. Can someone explain this to me?
English
“President Trump went to war against Iran without explaining his strategy to the American people or the world. It now appears that he may not have had much of a strategy at all,” writes the editorial board.

The US is not sharing the burden with the rest of NATO regarding support for Ukraine. Trump cut to zero our direct military and economic assistance. Zero. (Selling weapons to NATO to make money is not “help.”)
Republicans against Trump@RpsAgainstTrump
Trump says the U.S. is “helping” NATO with Ukraine, so NATO should now send warships to help keep the Strait of Hormuz open.

Russia is Irans closest ally in the world. So why does Trump keep treating Putin like a friend? I don’t get it .

"Another cost of this war is to America’s reputation around the world. Trump and his supporters do not seem to care at all about how people in Africa, Asia, or Latin America perceive us. But for those countries that have previously experienced colonialism or intervention by great powers, this American war of choice looks imperial and unconstrained by international law, norms, or rules."

@bstarrreports @ScottNover Mr. War Secretary. Please correct.

@ScottNover Listen up Mr. Defense Secretary. CNN has had personnel in combat zones for decades. CNN has had killed and wounded and all with lives changed forever. You have a legal and moral obligation to defend the free press, even the ones you don’t personally like.
