Power does not recede voluntarily. It's gasps and it gasps until it no longer can. @USTreasury filed yet another late Friday pleading against Tornado Cash. After grudgingly delisting TC, they now claim they've mooted any need for a final court judgment. But that's not the law, and they know it. 1/3
Under the voluntary cessation exception, a defendant’s decision to end a challenged practice moots a case only if the defendant can show that the practice cannot “reasonably be expected to recur.” Friends of the Earth, Inc. v. Laidlaw Environmental Services (TOC), Inc., 528 U.S. 167, 189, 120 (2000). Just last Term, the Supreme Court unanimously held in FBI v. Fikre, 601 U.S. 234 (2024), that the FBI did not moot a case even when it removed the plaintiff from the No Fly List and produced a declaration representing that he would not be placed on the No Fly List in the future. See id. at 242. 2/3
Relying on that decision, the Fifth Circuit rejected an agency’s argument that its withdrawal of a determination “unilaterally and avoid judicial review” did not moot the case, because the agency could decide to revisit the decision and issue a similar determination against the private party in the future. Lewis v. United States, 88 F.4th 1073, 1078-1079 (5th Cir. 2023). Here, Treasury has likewise removed the Tornado Cash entities from the SDN, but has provided no assurance that it will not re-list Tornado Cash again. That's not good enough, and will make this clear to the district court. 3/3

Last week’s announcement by @GovRonDeSantis that Florida was returning almost $1 billion in taxpayer dollars to the federal government is the latest example of how seriously the state takes DOGE efforts to maximize governmental efficiency and productivity.
Less obvious are the moments in history when Florida leaders have fended off efforts that would have jeopardized the budget security that Florida enjoys today.
Below I recount one such moment in 2015 when Florida grappled with the specter of Medicaid expansion. 🧵

Some brief background. For obvious reasons, before the Affordable Care Act of 2010—also known as ObamaCare—few states permitted able-bodied, working-age adults to enroll in Medicaid.
ObamaCare attempted to change that. It contained a significant and mandatory Medicaid expansion to able-bodied, working-age adults in households below 138 percent of the federal poverty level.
In 2012, following extensive litigation, the Supreme Court made expansion optional for states. Since then, Obama, Biden, and unelected bureaucrats in DC have attempted to coerce states to expand their Medicaid programs, seriously jeopardizing their long-range budget planning and security.
To date, 40 states have caved to the Left’s pressure campaigns. Florida, however, is not one of those states.

In 2015, when Florida last considered this question seriously, it was a showdown involving both political branches of government.
At first, then-Governor Rick Scott came out in favor of expanding Florida’s Medicaid program. But Governor Scott later reversed course, citing failed negotiations with the federal government over hospital funding (a topic that deserves a thread of its own).
In the Legislature, during a special session, the Senate passed a bill expanding Medicaid with certain conditions. The House, however, rejected the bill 72-41, preserving the integrity of Florida’s Medicaid program and helping to protect Florida’s budget into the future.

🚨BREAKING: Israeli forces have reportedly struck the second floor of the emergency building at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis. California-based Dr. @FerozeSidhwa who is currently volunteering at the hospital has also shared footage from the hospital (see reply).
Dr. @FerozeSidhwa shared the following video, noting smoke coming out of the window. He says it appears Israel directly bombed the hospital.
@FerozeSidhwa Dr. Feroze Sidhwa tells Drop Site that an explosion hit either the hospital building or just outside it, and the front of the hospital on fire. He said a patient who was about to be transferred from the ICU to the operating room is now on hold and “almost certainly going to die.”
Israel just struck Nasser Hospital, which is currently on fire.
Here is Nasser on a map. The dots are the health clinics and hospitals as they existed before the mass-extermination phase of the genocide.
Earlier today the IDF issued a forced displacement order ordering people to march towards the area the IDF just struck.
The hospital did not receive an "evacuation order" that we know of.

Diagnostic overshadowing is a term originating in medical contexts (and introduced to me by @Barker_J).
It describes the phenomenon where doctors inadvertently place too much emphasis on a patient's diagnosis, overshadowing other significant health concerns.
It describes the phenomenon where doctors inadvertently place too much emphasis on a patient's diagnosis, overshadowing other significant health concerns.
For example, a patient diagnosed with depression might have their physical symptoms—like fatigue or headaches—mistakenly attributed to their mental health condition, potentially overlooking a critical underlying physical illness requiring separate treatment.
Akram and Saud slaughtered a cow and threw its head on road at night. Local Hindus were obviously incensed
But unlike Nagpur, no mob violence, no attack on homes and vehicles, no arson. Instead, Hindus enforced social boycott of accused families
What I found in ground visit🧵

In January, at Mathania market chowk in Jodhpur, carcass of a calf was found early morning. Hindus in the area gathered and staged a protest
FIR 4/25 was filed at Mathania police station same day. CCTV footage revealed the killers as 20-year-old Saud (son of Yunus) and 28-year-old Akram (son of Abdul Lateef), both locals of nearby Tinwari area
They were arrested under Rajasthan’s anti-cow slaughter law. Police released a press note the next day

They were arrested under Rajasthan’s anti-cow slaughter law. Police released a press note the next day
When I visited the spot, I found that both Saud and Akram live in Hindu-majority localities, though in adjoining colonies. And that after appeal by local Hindus, both families were boycotted by both communities.
The boycott continues
First I visited Saud’s family, which is the only Muslim household in an all-Hindu Meghwal caste colony
Saud’s father Yunus is also in jail. The house now has Saud’s mother Khatoon, wife (just 3 months into the marriage), and three sisters
They confirmed that no neighbours are talking to them or selling to them.
Hindu locals told me: “How can we stay friends with someone who slaughtered our Gaumata?”
(See picture of Saud’s house (left) and the rest of the colony):

The global significance of the protests in Turkey:
1) The world is shifting to the far right and Erdoğan is the only far-right leader in an electorally competitive context who has had an uninterrupted 23-year rule.
2) There were several electoral victories, uprisings and coup
1) The world is shifting to the far right and Erdoğan is the only far-right leader in an electorally competitive context who has had an uninterrupted 23-year rule.
2) There were several electoral victories, uprisings and coup
attempts against him. All failed. He canceled the electoral victories, but still kept the game competitive afterwards. The most promising uprising (Gezi) couldn’t develop a leadership and a unified agenda to replace him. The coups, if successful, would have made almost everything
worse. (Many of the failed coup actors have joined Erdoğan’s bloc after 2015, showing what kind of people they are, and what kind of a “democratic” bloc Erdoğan’s is).
3) The current protests are not as massive as Gezi yet, but they demonstrate the people’s resilience. They are a
