Legislators are preparing to override his veto to allow greater school choice under the state voucher system, so Gov. Cooper declared that override to be akin to be Cat 5 hurricane... jonathanturley.org/2023/05/23/cat…
...Cooper's invocation of emergency powers leaves voters with a chilling message: they are the threat.  Cooper is detecting a sharp drop in political atmospheric pressures just before an election season. For a politician, that is nothing short of an emergency.

Swalwell is now out of the governor's race, but his friends are still looking for political shelter. This photo of Sen. Ruben Gallego (D., Ariz.) has not aged well. Notably, Gallego and Swalwell accepted roughly 100k to frolic at the Four Seasons in Doha. foxnews.com/politics/flash…Image
...The Democratic establishment and the media is now insisting that they were unable for years of Swalwell's conduct despite the allegations being well known to many in Washington. ...jonathanturley.org/2026/04/12/pel…
...We have seen this pattern before as the mainstream media covers a scandal involving a powerful Democrat only when it has no alternative. His exit was also welcomed by some Democratic strategists seeking to avoid the possible election of a Republican as governor.

The Hill just posted my column on the possible need for a 28th amendment on citizenship after the Supreme Court rules in Trump v. Barbara. The combination of open borders and open-ended citizenship is an existential threat to this Republic...thehill.com/opinion/immigr…
...There would be no better time to reaffirm the meaning of citizenship than the 250th anniversary of our Constitution. Chief Justice John Roberts is correct: “It is the same Constitution” that created this republic, but we are the same people vested with the responsibility, as Benjamin Franklin put it, “to keep it.”
...The countries recognizing birthright citizenship remain a small minority and some of the countries that previously followed this rule later rescinded it. The question is whether we should take the same corrective course and whether an amendment will be the only viable avenue.

The news of the departure of Pam Bondi hit with a thunderclap in Washington. There were some recent rumors, but nothing concrete in the prior week. Bondi is the ultimate loyalist who, like Todd Blanche (the new acting AG), earned her bones in the trenches with the President in impeachment and criminal trials...
...The President has certainly removed prior cabinet officers out of obvious displeasure from Bill Barr to most recently Kristi Noem. There is no known "bad blood" with Bondi, who has actually drawn fire for her loyalty to Trump...
...The move to Blanche will be seamless. He has not only been serving with Bondi, but he is an experienced and distinguished lawyer. He has been a partner in a world-class law firm as well as a successful prosecutor in the leading U.S. Attorney's office in the SDNY...

Early on, John Sauer faced a gulp moment when the Chief Justice referred to his examples of different classes to show the narrower meaning are "quirky." Sauer is doing, as usual, an excellent job...
... Another worrisome moment is when Gorsuch said, "I am not sure how much you want to rely on Wong Kim Ark." The Administration, and others, insist that the Court expressly noted in that decision that the parents were "resident aliens."...
...Gorsuch is clearly in play. He is expressing unease with the lines drawn by the Administration in his questioning. ..

The Supreme Court may have put a dent in announced plans of Democratic politicians to arrest ICE officers and unleash sweeping prosecutions once they retake power. The Court just reversed the Second Circuit, holding that a Vermont officer had immunity in a protester's injury...
...In Zorn v. Linton, the Court voted 6-3 that officers are generally shielded from civil liability unless prior case law put the unlawfulness of an action "beyond debate." While a civil case, the Court has shown the same deference in criminal cases...
...The expectation is that civil and criminal cases will be filed against ICE and other federal law enforcement officers. Indeed, some politicians have insisted on barring masks to facilitate such lawsuits or prosecutions.

For a No Kings guy, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey sure seems to have a royal problem. Frey claimed on MS NOW that President Donald Trump could simply hire more TSA agents rather than deploy ICE officers. Yet, that would be done without congressional approval and appropriations...
...The MS NOW host did not correct the disinformation. It is telling that Democrats are opposing the effort to relieve the congestion at airports. Rep. James Walkinshaw (D-VA) appeared to welcome the chaos and "pain" caused to citizens at the airports as leverage for a deal...
...Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries went as far as to predict that ICE officers may "brutalize or in some instances, kill" people at airports...
