THREADETTE: Something just dawned on me. You don't see any left-leaning anonymous (or named!) Twitter folks doing investigation of primary source documents, while several on the right do that & expose much otherwise missed. Left can rely on Fake News narratives pushed by MSM. 1/
2/ Knowing the legacy media won't research, you see lawyers putting out the source documents, such as @JohnWHuber@Techno_Fog and @15poundstogo and former intel folks such as @JennaNeen@MikayesFiona doing same. They spend hundreds of hours doing the work of Pulitzers.
3/ And @nick_weil team who puts together all of that work. These folks may well have saved @realDonaldTrump from the lies being peddled because they are in essence the best research team alternative media could ask for. I try to give credit where do, so here's a global 👏👏👏
4/4 And FTR: While I do know the actual identities and credentials of some of the above, my motto from day one on Twitter has been "distrust and verify." So I've always pulled the original source material, researched myself, and rendered my own conclusions. END

2/ DOJ: Is not waiving defense to location, should be in Maryland if it is HABEAS. And says it is jurisdictionally barred.
Judge: If had to be brought in habeas because of relief sought, to extent habeas is not jurisdiction, but venue, you waived it.
DOJ: This is a new case so couldn't have waived.
3/ Judge: Same relief sought here.
DOJ: We did not assert a defense in Maryland that could only be brought in habeas. And this is a new claim.
Judge: You say not material whether under APA, non-statutory, habeas.
DOJ: Can't justify filing in D.C. and claim splitting. Reading: Upon arrival the individuals will be granted an immigration status consistent with South Sudan allows them to remain for period determined in South Sudan. Nothing to say detained, we didn't asked for it, and no reason to believe.
🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Federal judge enters final judgment against Trump Administration in lawsuit challenging termination of grants, etc. Check out this "judicious" footnote: 1/
🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Trump scores another SCOTUS victory in Birthright Citizenship Case (NOT ON MERITS) but on whether a universal injunction is permitted. HUGELY significant in every case with universal injunctions. 1/ Reading now. Analysis to follow
2/ SCOTUS punts on whether universal relief is necessary in the lawsuit brought by state given the difficulty in providing the states full relief, leaving that to lower court. This punt though doesn't change significance of case before here & in every other case against Trump.
🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Judge Breyer wades in again re Trump's federalizing of California National Guard in case Newsom brought.
2/ Judge rejects Trump's argument that there cannot be a Posse Comitatus claim given 9th Cir. ruling that Trump could federalize national guard. Judge rejects Trump's request to transfer case to L.A. arguing public interest is to keep with him since he's already up on case.
3/ Court grants expedited discovery on issues related to what troops are doing for purpose of Posse Comitatus claim. So rulings all in favor of Newsom and kicking merits on Posse Comitatus out a month until discovery ends.
🚨SCOTUS delivered Trump another victory earlier today while I was shopping with DS. This case concerned the removal of illegal aliens ordered removed to third countries, with SCOTUS staying injunction barring such removal. 1/
2/ Dissent again rests on not liking what Trump did and ignoring numerous jurisdictional issues. supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf…
3/ Beyond resolving issue of aliens in limbo in South Sudan, SCOTUS decision gives Trump & DHS ability to push more forcefully for voluntarily removals.
