The Supreme Court is in the process of cleaning up this years caseload, and a few important cases have come down. Regarding immigration, the Court overrode the lower court ruling keeping the Trump administration from revoking the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) of Haitian and Syrian illegal aliens. The Court also ruled the administration could continue its policy of refusing asylum requests from would be immigrant in third countries (like Mexico and Canada) who have not yet entered the US. Both decisions were 6-3 in the way you would expect. Bob Hoge at RedState, Tension on the Bench: Justice Alito Is None Too Pleased With Sotomayor's Bitter Dissent on Asylum Case. "Sotomayor read from her 39 pages of angry rhetoric as the other judges either stared impassively or read their notes." Stephen L. Miller @redsteeze, "Yeah this part of the statement doesn't feel very *temporary'" Quote Aber Kawas @AberKawas, "I’m angered by today’s Supreme Court decision to strip Temporary Protected Status from Haitian and Syrian families who have fled violence and instability to seek refuge here. This ruling won’t stop there. It opens the door to ending TPS for more than a million people from fled violence and instability to seek refuge here. This ruling won’t stop there. It opens the door to ending TPS for more than a million people from countries across the world, putting countless families at risk of deportation and separation...." Chris Queen at PJM, When Does an Immigrant 'Arrive' in the U.S.? The Supreme Court Ruled on That Question. Townhall.com @townhallcom, "BREAKING: The Supreme Court delivers a MASSIVE win for Trump's immigration agenda! SCOTUS reverses a lower court ruling that forced the federal government to accept migrants who hadn't even reached the border as "asylum seekers." The vote is 6-3." Many expect that the court released these two pro-administration immigration decisions to soften the blow when they rule against Trump on birthright citizenship. I can see that. At CIS, Salvadoran National Indicted for Rape of 16-Year-Old in N.Y. "An example of why the Laken Riley Act requires the deportation of aliens under removal orders."
In other cases Charles C. W. Cooke @charlescwcooke, "Oh, is that what the case was about? The Court convened, and the justices were asked whether they liked “big business” or those with “cancer,” and seven of the nine chose “big business”? Or was it about FIFRA’s preemption clause? The press’s coverage of the law is a disaster." Quote POLITICO @politico, "Supreme Court sides with big business in Roundup cancer risk fight http://dlvr.it/TTCdCf" Readers added context "The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that federal pesticide law (FIFRA) preempts state failure-to-warn claims requiring cancer warnings on Roundup labels beyond EPA requirements; it did not decide the cancer risk." At the Volokh Conspiracy Josh Blackmun looks at two 2nd Amendment cases and says Something Feels Off About Hemani and Wolford (Updated), "The Court decides two major Second Amendment cases, but the latter does not even mention the former." Teri Christoph at RedState is pretty jazzed that Spanberger Gets Smacked Down *Again* As Virginia Judge Blocks 'Assault Firearms' Ban.
PJM's Stephen Kruiser thinks Trump Is Losing Patience With Useless Uniparty GOP Leadership on the SAVE Act, and in general, and Dave Manney says Trump Wants Action While Senate Republicans Count Excuses. At the Wash Stand, Trump, House Freedom Caucus Up Pressure on Senate to Pass SAVE America Act that 79% of Americans Support. Misty Severi at JTN reports the Postmaster General says he will comply with Trump rule to hold back mail ballots, "The proposed rule seeks to create lists of citizens in each state to help determine who is eligible to vote and calls on the Postal Service not to distribute mail ballots to those not on state lists."
Kurt Schlichter at TownHall advises us to Calm Down About JD Vance. Sarah Anderson at PJM calls it Marco's Mic Drop Moment: 'We Have No Drama, We Have No Games.'
Mark Tapscott at PJM, sees OTAS GETTING SUNLIGHT: "Federal law requires federal spending to be publicly available on the USASpending.gov, but not there is at least $99.7 billion in Department of War research and development spending using Other Transactions Agreements (OTA) over the past six years. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Ala) offers an amendment in the House Rules Committee (one of 1,200+!) that makes it clear OTA contracts must be disclosed on USASpending.gov. May not seem like a big deal in a $7 trillion federal budget but that’s how bureaucracies typically get around the law, finding (or creating) loopholes like OTA. And loopholes tend to breed like Jack Rabbits. Sundance at CTH, Arrogant, Sanctimonious and Entitled Republican Sub-Committee Chairman Mark Amodei (NV) Unmasks Himself." ZitoSalena @ZitoSalena, "'Welcome to the Money Belt,’ Trump on Pennsylvania’s economic reinvention--our interview discussing regions rapidly reinvention as well as him becoming part of an elite group of POTUS to ever visit the Army War College that includes Washington & Eisenhower." Sundance hosts Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent – The 5 Pillars of Economic Statecraft.From ToI, US military says it killed senior ISIS leader in airstrike on Syria last week. The Great Victor Davis Hanson at Am Great says Don’t Forget the Broader Context of the Iranian Memorandum. "Trump’s Iran memorandum is not a surrender or a new beginning—it is the next phase of a strategy built on pressure, deterrence, and avoiding another costly Middle East war." At No Pasaran!, "A Total Defeat," a "Capitulation," a "Catastrophe", Warns a French Trump Supporter Regarding the Iran-USA Treaty. The French talking capitulation? That's a laugh. And, it's not a treaty yet, it's an MOU.
Monica Showalter at Am Think thinks Democrats board the crazy train in New York "Democrats have no one to blame but themselves." Adam Turner at RedState believes In New York, the Democrat Establishment Dug Their Own Graves. At Twitchy, John Fetterman Is the Only Democrat Calling Out the Commies Who Swept New York's Congressional Races and OUCH: Scott Jennings Using Young White Socialists to Mercilessly SHRED Hakeem Jeffries Is Absolute Gold. From the Victory Girls, Schumer And Jeffries Think The Socialist Zombies Won’t Eat Them. PJM's VodkaPundit says It's Official: The Democrat Party Is a Socialist Skinsuit. The Undercurrent @NotTheirScript, "This is the DSA co-chair. Let me summarize what he says in this video: We’re using the Democratic Party as a ballot-access vehicle, not because we share its goals. We build our own organization, get elected under the Democratic label, caucus with Democrats when it’s useful, and push our own agenda from the inside. We see the Democratic establishment as an obstacle, not a home." Brianna Lyman @briannalyman2, "In 7 months Democrats have elected/nominated: -A man who fantasized about murdering Republicans/their children -A man with a NAZI tattoo -An Al Qaeda volunteer -A woman who said the US is an "effing disgrace" -A woman who said 9/11 was our fault This is who the party is." Frank J. Fleming @IMAO_, "I want to get the people who hate this country out of this country and the Democrats are trying to get them in office." Logan Hall @loganclarkhall, "We imported a ton of third world foreign communists and allowed them to participate in our elections and run for office and then they all vote for third world foreign communism. Doesn’t take a genius to realize this was never going to be anything other than a recipe for disaster." David Marcus @BlueBoxDave, "NY 13 has a population of roughly 750,000, almost all Democrats. A total of 66,000 votes were cast in that race. Thats’s how the DSA wins." Curtis Houck @CurtisHouck, "HILARIOUS: ‘CBS Mornings’ co-host Gayle King cuts off Manhattan Institute’s Reihan Salam as he explains that democratic socialists want to abolish borders and prisons, support Russia, and oppose U.S. foreign policy, telling him to “concentrate on the election that just happened” and suggests these kinds of people are just a footnote on the left." Christina Pushaw @ChristinaPushaw, "Mamdani origin story: Rejected by white girls in college Darializa origin story: Rejected by black and Arab men who preferred white women I am sensing a theme here."

Politico whines that Democrats grapple uncomfortably with World Cup success. "A logistically smooth tournament poses a problem for Trump’s critics."
Flopping Aces @FloppingAces, "The media’s current strategy with this wave of enforcement is simple: treat every development as its own isolated headline so the larger pattern stays invisible. One day it’s a 455-defendant healthcare fraud takedown spanning dozens of states. Another day it’s eight Antifa militants receiving a combined 450 years for a coordinated attack on an ICE facility. Then it’s Dominion quietly dropping its billion-dollar lawsuit against Mike Lindell after Smartmatic gets criminally indicted and its own assets get sold to new ownership. Meanwhile, violent crime continues dropping to levels not seen in decades. Each story gets its own article, its own framing, and its own carefully managed level of attention. One gets softened with language about “protesters.” Another gets buried in local coverage. A third gets presented as a strange legal development with no connection to anything else happening. What they’re trying very hard not to say out loud is that these are not random, disconnected events. Different categories of enforcement ... financial fraud, ideological violence, public corruption, voting systems lawfare, and ordinary street crime ... are all being pressured at the same time. That simultaneity is the actual story..."

The Chronic wonders Can Anyone Govern Britain—or America? Of course, it depends on what you mean by govern. VodkaPundit at PJM VIP has a Thursday Essay: The Burning Questions Europeans Will Bring Home With Their Ranch Dressing. "How did we fall so far behind the Americans?" Northern Barbarian @xnoesbueno, "Oh, it gets better than that. Say what you want. No thought police will knock. Shoot what you want. Mostly. Eat what you want. Drive for miles. Not kilometers. Buy a big house. With a big yard. Set the temp inside your big house where you want. Fahrenheit, you'll have to learn. But yeah. Opportunity. Make of yourself what you can. What you want. A photo with our crazy orange president is a good day. Great man, loves America, loves the people. Busting his ass to make the world a better place. Come back any time. Call your new pal Don, see if he can arrange for you to stay." Quote Oliver Henry @oliverhenry, "I now understand the American dream. I came to the World Cup because I was offered a last minute ticket to watch England play Croatia in Dallas and I started documenting my journey."
From Lawrence Person's BattleSwarm Blog, Bill: Hey Universities, You Can Take Money From The ChiComs, Or From Uncle Sam, But Not Both, "Many of America’s universities have proven eager to take money from communist China for “partnership” arrangements. A new bill aims to put an end to that by making them choose between ChiCom money and federal funding." Seems reasonable.
