@MZHemingway Don’t ever forget that Boasberg slapped him on the wrist saying that his embarrassment was punishment enough. He’s threatened DOJ attorneys with more time for not “turning the planes around”!

🚨The Trump admin has filed its reply brief in the birthright citizenship case before the Supreme Court. It opens: The “main object” of the Citizenship Clause was to grant citizenship to freed slaves and their children, whose allegiance to the United States had generally been established through generations of parental domicile. By contrast, aliens who are just passing through the United States, and those who cross our borders illegally, lack ties of allegiance and do not obtain the “priceless and profound gift” of citizenship for their children. To receive citizenship under the Clause, a person must be both born “in the United States” and “subject to the jurisdiction thereof…” That language grants citizenship to children “completely subject” to the United States’ “political jurisdiction.” Children of temporarily present or illegal aliens do not qualify because their parents are not domiciled in, and thus do not owe the requisite allegiance to, the United States. Temporarily present aliens are by definition not domiciled here, while illegal aliens lack the legal capacity to form such a domicile.

People can definitely overdo poll interpretation, but the flurry of "100% of Trump supporters support Trump" polls that are suddenly being bandied about continue to miss very real issues here for Republicans.

@MattWelch @reason As a former resident of the San Joaquin, I have to say that's pretty cool that Reason was on top of this so early.

One of @Reason magazine's first great investigative heaves, which led to a federal investigation and court orders demanding the repayment of misspent funds, was about Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers.

Regarding the terrible story of the UA student missing in Barcelona—this is not an isolated incident. If you have children studying abroad, Americans coming out of nightclubs are being targeted for their phones. Please tell them if they need to call a ride to do it inside, stay inside until it arrives, and keep their phone in their pocket until they are in the car. Please share this so no one else has to go through what the Gracey family is enduring. Prayers for Jimmy.

For nearly 60 years, one of the rarest Caravaggio portraits in existence sat in a private collection in Florence. Most people had never heard of it. Only a handful of specialists had ever seen it in person. Then in 2024, its owners agreed to loan it out for a temporary exhibition at the Palazzo Barberini in Rome, and the art world finally got a look at a painting that had been hiding in plain sight for decades. The portrait depicts Maffeo Barberini, a clergyman in his 30s, painted by Caravaggio around 1598. Barberini wasn't just anyone. He went on to become Pope Urban VIII in 1623, and he was the man who later commissioned the Palazzo Barberini itself, the very building now displaying his portrait. The painting had essentially come home. In March 2026, the Italian government made it permanent. They paid nearly $35 million to acquire the work for the Palazzo Barberini's collection, making it one of the most expensive artworks the country has ever purchased. The price makes more sense when you understand how rare it is. Around 65 paintings have been attributed to Caravaggio, who died at just 38. The overwhelming majority depict biblical scenes or mythological figures. Portraits are a different matter entirely. He painted almost none, which makes this one genuinely exceptional. Art historian Roberto Longhi first attributed the painting to Caravaggio in 1963 and argued it was central to understanding how the artist approached portraiture. Longhi described it as a founding moment in the history of modern portraiture, highlighting Caravaggio's ability to capture psychological intensity in a sitter's face. That's the quality Caravaggio is known for across all his work, the sense that something real and human is happening just beneath the surface, and this portrait apparently shows that quality applied to a face rather than a scene. The painting went on public display for the first time during the 2024 exhibition at Palazzo Barberini, drawing enormous attention. Italian officials began negotiations with the owners during that period, and the acquisition was announced on March 10, 2026. A portrait of a future pope, painted by one of the most technically brilliant and personally chaotic artists in history, hidden in a private collection for six decades, and now permanently installed in the palace that the man in the painting built. As art stories go, that's a good one. #archaeohistories

When I was in law school, we learned about something called “the one-way ratchet theory of rights.”  This legalistic abomination, pushed by Thurgood Marshall among others, contended that once a governmental entity created a new “right,” it could not later decide to take that “right” away.  It now appears federal district courts are putting the one-way ratchet theory to a new use: if a Democrat administration expands the government, a Republican administration cannot later undo the expansion, even if it uses the same procedural mechanisms.  Government can never shrink; it can only grow.  As with all of The Left’s “legal” theories, The Left always wins.
