You’re talking about two different things. The charges that were heard, resulting in Trump’s conviction, were NYS charges. The federal charges have yet to be heard.
Trump cannot pardon state charges, so a state judge can determine an official act if there are new state charges.
They’re not just scathing, they’re instructional. Justice Sotomayor outlined how to challenge the recent SCOTUS ruling on nationwide injunctions. A new injunction based on her guidance was filed three hours after the ruling.
That’s not entirely correct. “Official acts” are to be determined by the judge presiding over the case. Since no charges against the President have been filed or heard, “official acts” have yet to be legally defined.
This is exactly why they didn’t want him to return, and charged him the minute he landed. This story will be testimony for the cruel and unusual punishment that the US has subjected 275+ migrants to with the deportations to CECOT. We just need them to get it in front of SCOTUS.
I also can’t imagine this will bode well for Bukele, given that El Salvador is a member of the ICC, and these actions are very clearly forbidden by the Rome Statute.
Not as long as you keep electing Republicans into majority. Wisconsin just flipped Democratic after Musk poured millions into trying to seat a Republican.

But what about BoTh SiDeS?
Gerrymandering reform redistricting next! We need those extra seats!
There are also 700 hospitals in rural areas that are in danger of closing from the cuts. The funny thing about EMTALA, is that it doesn’t apply to urgent care facilities, which is why they’re popping up everywhere. It’s far more profitable for corporations to be legally allowed to let you die from non-treatment if you’re uninsured.
Then why go through the effort to renew them? They were expiring today, and he renewed them while adding an exemption for Hungary.
They’re called secondary sanctions. If the US sanctions Russia, and a nation is to violate those sanctions, the US would penalize the offending nation through tariffs or embargo.

He won first round. We also had a ranked choice primary in 2021 when we picked Adams. The biggest difference was the increase in attendance from 21% in 2021 to 30% in 2025.
With that being said, I still completely agree that we need to ditch FPTP.
That’s entirely up to us. We need to flood all primaries, just like we did the NYC mayoral primary.
I didn’t see it reported elsewhere, but Middle East Eye has a good reputation for factual reporting.
Cities should be designed like theme parks. Ample free parking on the outskirts for commuters, with mass transit and paths within. It’s just common sense.
And they’re talking about cheap Chinese gas station vapes here. If you use quality coils, there won’t be lead at all.
Yup. Primaries are how we do something about it. You know how many times I voted for someone in the primary other than Schumer in the last 28 years?
Democratic primaries see less than 15% turnout in congressional elections, yet people wonder why nothing changes. Do you know who always shows up? Retirees, and they typically love the incumbent centrist.
Fair point. I wasn’t familiar with the Irish Star. After looking it up, it seems you’re right. I only see The Daily Beast and Times Now corroborating. I’ll delete the post until more information surfaces.
These aren’t ICE agents. It was US Customs and Border Protection. It’s been legal to search your phone at ports of entry since the Bush administration. Trump is the first one to use it to persecute political dissidents.

“How are you traveling to His Majesty’s dinner? Mind if I get a ride swingin from your nuts?”
Nah. He was convicted of the state charges. That’s my point. He did not use immunity in that case. Therefore, “official acts” have yet to be defined by a judge.
He could be charged by the state as POTUS, and the state judge would determine of the acts that defined the criminal activity were “official acts.”
