The administration is panicking and throwing stuff at the wall. This morning, in reference to Donald Trump's repeating what Vladimir Putin told him about Russia's rare earths I suggested that.
There have been a number of court victories – some partial – that I’m not the best person to report on. Even the court-watchers (Chris Geidner (LawDork, Bluesky), Roger Parloff (Lawfare, Bluesky), and the Just Security tracker) are managing to get out only the most...
