"Justice Department Says Filming Immigration Raids Is 'Domestic Terrorism'."
https://reason.com/2025/12/26/justice-department-says-filming-immigration-raids-is-domestic-terrorism/

This is the best evidence yet that the #Trump admin is turning the term "domestic terrorism" into an all-purpose pejorative for whatever it dislikes.

Three quick legal notes:
1. In the US, it is not a crime to video police making arrests, provided one does not interfere with their work. So said #SCOTUS in Glik v. Cunniffe (2011).
2. If an act is not already a crime, then even a high-level decision to call it "domestic terrorism" does not make it a crime.
3. Making an act a crime requires legislation (yea, constitutional legislation). In a country with no kings, an executive diktat does not suffice.

A 2023 #SCOTUS decision set the stage for the action by limiting the agency’s power to police #wetlands. In the opinion in Sackett v. EPA, Justice #Alito wrote that the #CleanWaterAct allowed the #EPA to regulate only wetlands with a “continuous surface connection” to a “relatively permanent” body of #water.

But he did not explicitly define a “relatively permanent” body of water. Now, the #Trump admin is describing it as a body of water that flows year-round or during the “wet season.”

#SCOTUS announced Monday that it will review a controversial #immigration policy adopted during the first #Trump administration of turning away potential #asylum seekers before they step foot on American soil, setting up the first major immigration policy case of the term.

Federal #law requires the government to process #asylum seekers who arrive at ports of entry. But in 2018, #Trump’s first admin began a policy known as “metering,” in which border agents simply turned back potential asylum seekers to Mexico before they entered the US.
An immigrant rights group, Al Otro Lado, & several asylum seekers filed a lawsuit in California challenging the policy. An appeals court based in SF sided with the migrants. The Trump admin appealed to #SCOTUS in July.

@rbreich No need for a #SCOTUS just #chatgpt everything.

@heidilifeldman

I've been saying that after we dislodge the fascists, we need to expand the Court to 13 seats to create a 7-6 liberal majority.

With almost every new ruling from #SCOTUS I'm leaning more toward "Let's arrest the majority right away, and let the #InternationalCriminalCourt sort them out."

This is important to understand:
The problem is not that the federal government doesn't have the money to pay #SNAP benefits. Tax revenue hasn't stopped coming in during the shutdown. There is plenty of money.
The problem is that the the #Trump administration and the corrupt #SCOTUS are just fine with upending precedent and rewriting laws to give Trump and the #GOP more power, but not with interpreting existing law in a completely reasonable way to feed starving children.

In honor of the news today that SCOTUS has decided not to overturn the Obergefell ruling, I would like to share this heartwarming story once again:

"The Love Story Behind Alabama's First Legally Married Same-Sex Couple"

🚨🚨 #SCOTUS rejects call to overturn its decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide 🚨🚨

The #SupremeCourt on Monday rejected a call to overturn its landmark decision that legalized #SameSexMarriage nationwide.

The justices turned away an appeal from Kim Davis, the former Kentucky court clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to #SameSex couples after the high court’s 2015 ruling in #Obergefell v. Hodges.
