JUSTICE KAVANAUGH: If you prevail here, I just want to pick up on what brokers will need to do. So you prevail here, then you're counsel to a broker, say, and the broker is worried about, you know, the issue The Wall Street Journal focused on yesterday, the English language proficiency of drivers who can't read signs, okay? And so the broker says: I don't want to select a carrier that hires drivers that are not proficient in English language.

Mhmm. From the Caribe Transport argument earlier this month.

It is in fact possible to report the truth.

They could use the time they're not spending passing a budget that reinstitutes the constitutional order to codify Bivens.

This is a perfect explanation of why the issue of independent agencies matters: Because it’s about something much bigger—how we understand and implement democratic legitimacy, the idea that we the American people control our government.

It is not just that these employees are risking being put on leave or even fired for standing up for science (see EPA/FEMA officials), they are standing in front of a workplace that was the subject of a terrorist attack a couple of weeks ago, by a man who believes what their boss believes.

Wow what an ending! Pauline Ferrand-Prévot had looked like taking the win but tires in the last metres leading to Marianne Vos taking her 250th win of her career, and the yellow jersey!

I was so in awe of the people I worked for when I interned at State. It’s what made me want to be a lawyer, made me know I wanted to do environmental work, made me determined to be a public servant. It felt so special to walk into that beautiful building every day. This is just so sad.
