Ryan Goodman, who is in fact an expert on the law of war, calls it a “textbook war crime” and notes precedent dating back to WWII for it being a war crime to kill survivors of a sunken boat.

NEW: In a late-night filing, the Department of Justice confirms for the first time that Secretary Noem herself personally issued the order not to obey Judge Boasberg’s command that planes carrying hundreds of Venezuelan men to be imprisoned and tortured in CECOT be turned around.

👀 Look for two possible SCOTUS orders today on big fully briefed emergency-docket cases: ✔️ whether Trump can deploy the National Guard to Chicago ✔️ whether Texas can use its freshly gerrymandered map in the 2026 midterms

Tomorrow, all briefs will be in hand for SCOTUS to rule on Trump's emergency plea to deploy National Guard troops. The law does not seem to be on his side. My @TheEconomist analysis

One significant update since I filed the article: after last week's oral argument in Learning Resources v. Trump, I have changed my view on tariffs and now predict Trump *loses* that case. (Nervously standing by my other predictions.)

NEW: as expected, the SNAP showdown at SCOTUS ends in a fizzle: Trump withdraws his application to avoid fully funding SNAP because the government shutdown has ended and those benefits will be funded through the end of the year

Trying to figure out what #SCOTUS just did with #SNAP, and why Justice Jackson temporarily froze the district court's ruling? Here's me on what's going on—and why I think Jackson's move was savvy, notwithstanding the awful circumstances that forced it: https://t.co/DEUGy6u4HG

A very quick explainer on why Justice Jackson issued an "administrative stay" in the SNAP case late on Friday night, and on what's likely to happen next

There’s been some confusion about whether the public is still invited to oral arguments during the government shutdown. They are!
