Everything Trump says here is verifiably untrue. During this period of time the number of US installations on Greenland went from 17 to 1 as a result of US determinations that they were not needed.
Trump: "NATO has been telling Denmark, for 20 years, that “you have to get the Russian threat away from Greenland.” Unfortunately, Denmark has been unable to do anything about it. Now it is time, and it will be done!!! President Donald J. Trump"

This is not a standard in war crimes determinations
But Blinken won’t directly answer the question of whether Israel has committed war crimes. Closest he comes is saying it’s possible there were individual such acts and the Israelis were investigating. Keeps saying the broader context matters, including Hamas launching this crisis.

Judge McConnell warns: "Persons who make private determinations of the law and refuse to obey an order generally risk criminal contempt even if the order is ultimately ruled incorrect."
BREAKING:
A federal judge in Rhode Island just said the Trump admin violated his order halting Trump's sweeping federal funding freeze — and has ordered the government to "immediately restore frozen funding."

This is, she says, a wildly successful tactic, because if the insurance company answers them honestly, it gives you evidence that the "doctors" making these determinations are practicing medicine out of scope, without proper licensing and qualifications, in areas they are not competent in.

1) There's no reason an administrator at NASA should care how a Solar System body is categorized.
2) NASA isn't the org that makes classification determinations for Solar System objects.
3) If Isaacman wants Pluto reclassified again, he can lobby the International Astronomical Union on his own time.

Isaacman: very much in the camp of making Pluto a planet again. Working on some papers right now to escalate through the scientific community to revisit this.
And that's it.
And that's it.

Historically, law enforcement determinations of who is or isn’t in a gang has been some of the most entrails-of-a-sheep subjective voodoo bullshit in the entire criminal justice system. So now if a neo-Nazi is wiling to call you a gang member you are summarily deported.
REPORTER: How do you determine whether somebody is a gang member? What criteria do you use?
HOMAN: Through various investigations

Totally. At this point, the people that they want to deport are detained. What reason other than eluding judicial review, including individualized determinations, would they have from moving so quickly?
The Trump administration’s desire to get more migrants into the El Salvador gulag is fanatical. The border’s closed, the men are detained—but they desperately keep trying to deport them. Maybe it’s all meant to accelerate self-deportation? But it feels more like “cleanse the nation of impure blood.”

One important fact this grotesque farce has shined some needed light on is that immigration judges are entirely too happy to rubber-stamp ICE determinations that someone is a gang member based on essentially no evidence.
NEW: DOJ finally files its response. They continue to refuse to provide any information about any steps they are taking to bring him back, suggesting they are not taking any. They again offer nobody with personal knowledge and simply cite Bukele's (utterly false) claim that he can't do anything.

You can easily imagine Grok making disability determinations on behalf of the Social Security Administration (caseworkers feed the your entire file in and Grok decides whether to approve or deny the claim). We know PBMs/insurers are already using AI to make coverage determinations. 🧵

I'd love to see Pete run! I really respect his intellect. He does take in all sides and actually thinks about everything and makes clear, concise determinations.
I generally do not recommend reading YouTube comments if you want to live a sane and happy life.
But I continue to be fascinated with the comments on Pete Buttigieg's Flagrant interview:

I teamed up to write how:
The Trump administration has provided two - completely irreconcilable - determinations on status of Tren de Aragua and Venezuela regime.
Makes it impossible for judges to defer to 'presidential determination' on Alien Enemies Act. Confounds law and policy.
