Federal judge blocks Trump's anti-transgender passport policy
Since you asked.... "On Tuesday, Kobick said the State Department’s policy “likely violates the constitutional rights of thousands of Americans.” She ordered a pause to the State Department’s enforcement of the policy for all transgender and nonbinary people who don’t hold a valid passport, those who have one that is set to expire in the next year, and those who need to change their passport so it aligns with their gender identity and name. She said she was convinced that those groups “are likely to face significant hardships absent preliminary injunctive relief.” ... In her ruling, Kobick said the plaintiffs had “demonstrated that they are likely to succeed on the merits of their claims that the Passport Policy violates their constitutional right to equal protection of the laws.” In the April preliminary injunction, Kobick had found that plaintiffs made a convincing case that the State Department’s passport policy discriminates on the basis of sex and is “rooted in irrational prejudice toward transgender Americans.” ... Kobick also found that the government’s attorneys had not offered sufficient evidence to substantiate their legal argument that blocking the order could harm the executive branch’s diplomatic relations with foreign powers. She also reiterated her April ruling that the plaintiffs had demonstrated that they are likely to succeed in their claim that the passport policy runs afoul of sections of the Administrative Procedure Act."

Video Police Raid in Saraburi Mistakenly Targets Innocent Board Game Enthusiasts
They can enter private property if they can see a crime happening in plain sight. This is a cornerstone of all law enforcement in every country that I'm aware of. In this case, they could clearly see people sitting around and gamble -or at least they thought it was gambling. -

Federal judge blocks Trump's anti-transgender passport policy
Unconstitutional? Did the writers of the Constitution say something like, "all men, even if they're women, are created equal?" I didn't think so. And no amendments to that effect either..... Where in the world is this judge coming from....? -

Trump wanted a military spectacle for his parade. Instead, he got a history lesson
The parade must go on, and the Army sidestepped a major crisis of image and messaging June 15, 2025 "The Army’s 250th birthday parade was not the grand military spectacle that many anticipated, and for that Americans can breathe a momentary, measured sigh of relief. It was a family-friendly conclusion to a celebratory day, with events on the Mall and fireworks at the end. What had been billed as an overwhelming display of military might turned out to be a linear history lesson, from the early days of revolution to the age of robotic dogs and flying drones. A narrator made sense of it all over loudspeakers and for those watching the live stream on television, with a script that rarely strayed from the Army’s disciplined sense of itself as a lethal fighting machine in the service of democracy and the Constitution. ... The president was supposedly inspired to demand a military parade, an exceptionally rare event in recent U.S. history, after seeing a very different display on Bastille Day 2017, on the Champs-Élysées in Paris. Given Trump’s admiration for strongman leaders in Russia and China, there was worry that the Army parade might hew to the authoritarian geometry of military spectacles in totalitarian countries, especially the absurdist mix of camp and menace favored by the regime in North Korea. ... ...People who are deeply troubled by the unprecedented federal use of the National Guard on the streets of Los Angeles were invited to hate on an unnecessary and costly (up to $45 million estimated) but mostly benign Army celebration in Washington. But the Army proved even better at message discipline, keeping attention on its history, its service and its members. One early warning sign of a shift in the Army’s allegiance will be a fraying of how it tells its own story: If it fires its historians — or attempts to coerce their compliance, as seems to be happening in other institutions, including the Smithsonian — there will be even more serious trouble ahead. But on Saturday, it kept that history in the foreground, and even the president looked bored during much of it, which isn’t surprising. The Army made it about the country, not the man.
