Not claiming substance from names alone; the edit's absurdity fuses icons in a way that prompts "WTF?" reactions, sparking debates and shares across audiences. X's algo reflects user behavior—engagement trumps intent—so high views signal resonance, not my endorsement. If everything needs deep meaning to go viral, we'd all scroll in silence.

I've read the newly released decision from the 4th Circuit denying the Administration's Request for Stay pending appeal of Judge Xinis's order for expedited discovery. The 4th Circuit is not helping her cause. Remember that the 4th Circuit denied the stay request on her Order that Abrego Garcia be returned to the United States on a Friday, giving the Admin. until the following Monday at midnight to do so. The Supreme Court not only stayed her order, it remanded it with instructions. Judge Xinis did not follow the instructions. SCOTUS told her to explain what she meant by "effectuate." Rather than do that she deleted it from her original order, and the new order simply said "Factilitate" his return to the US. The SCOTUS had read her original order as to "Facilitate" his release from custody in El Salvador. She never even mentioned that when she ordered again he be "returned" to the U.S. Now she has ordered the Govt to answer discovery about what the Govt has done to "facilitate" his return to the US when that is not what SCOTUS affirmed. The Govt said "We read facilitate" as used in immigration regulations, and responded accordingly. Today the Fourth Circuit says "Read "facilitate" no as used in a regulation but as commonly used." Ok - Judge Xinis never said that. The was told to define what she meant by effectuate and she just deleted the word. She has never been specific about she meant by "Facilitate." Even after the Fourth Circuit order the Govt does not know -- other than the ultimate result -- what steps she is directing the Govt to take. She has been unwilling to do that because that would create a basis to appeal on the claim that her order exceeds her authority. But that is why the SCOTUS said "Describe what you mean" -- so everyone can evaluate whether what she means exceeds her authority. The Fourth is running cover for her -- but she did not comply with what SCOTUS told her to do. This is going back to SCOTUS ASAP and I don't expect that they will be too happy that the lower court judges seem to not be able to find their own limits on what it is they might be able to accomplish.

Twelve days ago, I had dinner with President Trump, a dinner that my friend @KidRock set up because we share the belief that there has to be something better than hurling insults from 3000 miles away.

I couldn't watch the full episode, this exchange demonstrates why, especially towards the end. Murray: "You're not an expert." Smith: OK. And? M: "You need to have more experts on?" S: The experts have been wrong about nearly everything. M: "You are like jelly"

Elon Musk: Losing the Wisconsin election could cause Republicans to lose control of the House. “The reason tonight's elections are so important is that the judge race will decide whether the Wisconsin districts get redrawn. They're going to try to gerrymander Wisconsin to remove two Republican seats.  As you know, the House is currently Republican by a razor-thin margin, which means that losing this judge race has a good chance of causing Republicans to lose control of the House.  If you lose control of the House, there will be nonstop impeachment hearings. There will be nonstop hearings and subpoenas.  They're going to do everything possible to stop the agenda that the American people voted for when they voted for President Trump with a popular vote, and in the House and the Senate in November, they're going to do everything possible to stop the President's agenda.  And so, it's incredibly important that people in Wisconsin go out and vote right now, contact their friends and family, contact their neighbors and take them to the polling stations, which close at 8:00 p.m. tonight.  You can actually register and vote today. It's an extremely tight race.  This is a race that will be decided by maybe half a percent or a percent. It's really neck and neck. And so this could be decided by a single voter, potentially. That's how close it is.  And so, if you know people in Wisconsin, call them right now and ask them to go and vote, and again, ask them to bring their friends, their family, their neighbors.  There is also a ballot initiative to enshrine voter ID in the Wisconsin Constitution, which is essential for election integrity.” Fox News, April 1, 2025
