It's a start. But we should really be talking about clawbacks, considering how appallingly the water companies have behaved in recent years.

I said yesterday that, like the EPA and FEMA clawbacks, this is going to lead them to double down and do more stupid corrupt stuff. this is an example.
It was only *after* the habeas petition was filed, per Khalil's lawyers, that the efforts to transfer Khalil began in earnest — without notice to those lawyers in the pending habeas petition.
![Hours after the petition challenging its detention authority was filed, however, ICE began efforts to transfer Mr. Khalil out of the region and to a Louisiana detention facility a thousand miles away, without providing him any access to his counsel, and without providing counsel of record on his pending habeas petition any advance notice of this transfer or any information with
respect to any justification for his detention. This seemingly retaliatory action is particularly troubling given that a central basis for Mr. Khalil's claim for habeas relief is that his very arrest and detention were in retaliation for Mr. Khalil's constitutionally protected advocacy on behalf of Palestinian human rights. Respondents' retaliatory and punitive motives have since been
confirmed.[1]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreihcomcgtd3thnbf5yst4tbdniorjd3avvopzqwjpimixwccqfeuni)
![1 / The President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, stated on social media that "ICE proudly apprehended and detained Mahmoud Khalil, a Radical Foreign Pro-Hamas Student on the campus of Columbia University." Baseless and inflammatory though it is, this rhetoric at the highest level of government reflects the improper motives animating Respondents' actions towards Petitioner. Moreover, according to Tricia McLaughlin, a DHS spokesperson:
"On March 9, 2025, in support of President Trump's executive orders prohibiting anti-Semitism, and in coordination with the Department of State, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia University graduate student. Khalil led activities aligned to [sic] Hamas, a designated terrorist organization.
ICE and the Department of State are committed to enforcing President Trump's executive orders and to protecting
U.S. national security." Though the legality of detention because of speech supporting Palestinian human rights, which Respondents believe is "aligned to Hamas," will ultimately be at issue in Mr. Khalil's habeas petition, it need not be adjudicated in the context of the limited relief sought in this motion. What these statements taken together make immediately clear, however, is that the role of the Court in protecting Petitioner from unlawful detention is paramount.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreigs6n5ic6t4yykghdqxqf6masiok3h6wyrn4qmjhqzxq5j5qmlqcq)

BREAKING:
It's official. The Trump DOJ just confirmed the creation of a $1.776 billion slush fund that can be used to pay Trump allies who claim they've been wrongfully targeted by the Biden admin's ‘weaponization' — including, reportedly, Jan. 6 insurrectionists.

One thing 2025 made clear: Durable progress on climate in the US will require structural reform to our corrupted political systems. Otherwise, steps forward will always be vulnerable to the bloody clawbacks we saw this year. A political strategy that doesn't center system reform is not "pragmatic."

Wait, it's even easier! The bonuses won't be paid until after Trump is gone. So all the Dem candidates have to say is "hey, recruits who are hoping to skate by on faulty HR processes: I'll make sure you're fired before you see a dime."

I just found out last night that the $50k enrollment bonus only pays out after 5 years of service, and reader, the laugh I let out when I read that woke the dog from across the house. These absolute fucking grapes aren't seeing a dime of that money. No way they can ride out 5 years of this job.

nothing's stopping Ds from calling for ICE clawbacks to fund obamacare exchange subsidies and new housing construction. you could make it really simple.
Setting up a false dichotomy between prioritizing accountability and prioritizing affordability is shooting yourself in the foot by implicitly endorsing a narrative that it's one or the other, the former a distraction from the latter, as if they're competing goals and not two sides of the same coin.
