BREAKING: the Supreme Court *grants* the Trump administration's emergency plea in DHS v. D.V.D. to resume deporting non-citizens to third countries. Justices Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson dissent at length. The majority cites no reasons for granting the government's request.
That is really quite concerning for the future.
The injunction is lifted, but the case is still to be decided at a the appeals court.
But you're right, the majority seem to have adopted a shrug and ignore stance towards any damage illegal actions by the executive might cause.
If I have my cynical head on, this Iranian War launched NOW is another tactic by Trump to distract from his collapsing domestic politics - even fox had bad polls for him on eg the economy.
I'll predict that his next distraction will be sending the military into large Democrat run cities like NY, Philadelphia and Chicago.
The Courts (9th Circuit, Appeals Panel of 3 Judges) have essentially given him the leeway.
AIUI, there is a peaceful use for that 60 percent enriched uranium the Mullahs have: The Natrium reactor that Bill Gates is backing will use uranium enriched to a higher level than that used in current US nuclear plants. Designers were planning to buy former weapons grade uranium from the Russians, but would, it seems likely, be willing to buy it from the Mullahs instead, or as well. (Or from the Israelis, if they capture it.) https://www.terrapower.com/
CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE (in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!), for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED! Officially, Iran will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 12th Hour, Israel will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World. During each CEASEFIRE, the other side will remain PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL. On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both Countries, Israel and Iran, on having the Stamina, Courage, and Intelligence to end, what should be called, "THE 12 DAY WAR." This is a War that could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn't, and never will! God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America, and GOD BLESS THE WORLD!

Im sad that I wasn’t thanked for my attention to this matter.
In all seriousness, IF it holds, on the face of it it appears to be a bit of a coup for Trump. Whether it’ll be seen as the right or wrong decision, that one will be for history to judge in the fullness of time.
Given that neither its methods nor its targets are unprecedented, a ban is likely to make every group which has an aim of “progressing its political cause and influencing the government” through protest think twice.
How about just protesting without breaking into businesses and military bases and causing £10m's of damage.
I can't stand JSO twattish behaviour (and they lost the public pretty quickly) and should be punished when they break the law, but nobody is calling for them to be proscribed as a terrorist organisation for throwing orange powder in the air at a sporting event. Instead they rightly get booed and they worked out that this form of protest wasn't aiding their cause.

Imagine if Reform win the next election, and then a few months later PM Nigel Farage suddenly announces that he now thinks Britain urgently needs migration & he's going to bring in a bill to allow 1 million Indians to migrate to the UK.
How do you imagine Reform MP's would react ?
Cutting disability benefits is against Labour values, in the same way that expanding migration would be against Reform values.
If a Labour PM brings in legislation that is against Labour values, then a major rebellion would be expected.

Edit OSINTtechnical@Osinttechnical Israel issues two new evacuation orders in Iran’s capital, Tehran, as more airstrikes are expected. Evac orders are in the Mehran district and District 6. https://x.com/Osinttechnical/status/1937280034118443362
It apopears Israeli sources are less responsive on this ceasefire plan than Iranian ones but they do know about it
So did Trump unilaterally announce a ceasefire without bothering to get the official agreement of either Israel or Iran?
Yes and no, there was back and forth, Qatar to Iran, US to Israel so a proposal was in the works ok.
The Israelis have been told to say nothing right now, the Iranians are reporting its feasible, at least some are but the debate is as per my comment way down thread, why would the Iranians want to be seen to dancing to Israel's tune? Israel attacked first, Iran sees itself as the aggrieved party. The Iranians need a break and have been searching for one since about 3 days in but don't want to be seen as being dictated to, so the sequencing needs to be right to keep a lid on those who dont want a ceasefire yet..
Also, accidentally or by design, Trump is suggesting a formal war end between two states. Hows that work when one of them literally doesnt recognise the other?

It's entirely possible that by blabbing about it, Trump might have gravely imperiled his own ceasefire agreement. The fool really has no clue how delicately these things need to be managed.
You are absolutely correct that Iran simply cannot accept a situation where it appears that they have agreed to a humiliating ceasefire that has been forced on them by a US President.

You may not have to formally accept anything if the shooting just kinda stops. The iranians have been indicating for days in the backchannel that if Israel stops first, so will they shortly after. Again, sequencing matters if they have decided to accept, without officially accepting
Irans FM offcial statement is they havent accepted any ceasefire or cessation but if Israel knocks it off, Iran doesnt intend to keep at it for now.

X OSINTtechnical@Osinttechnical Israel’s airstrikes have massively disrupted Iranian government operations.

It's not vanishingly unlikely that the polls won't matter by Nov 2026.

"I drive an electric vehicle because I am poor," says Lu Yunfeng, a private driver, at a charging station on the outskirts of Guangzhou in the south of China
Or perhaps Israel will allow them to have the last futile barrage ?
Either that or the Israelis have really done something to upset Iranian Regime in the last few hours leading up to the short lived ceasefire or maybe its a distraction? Another plane heading to Tehran, this time from Delhi.

This is a War that could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn't, and never will! God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America, and GOD BLESS THE WORLD!
DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Boring.
Not going to keep the ratings up with that yawn-fest.
Even hit tv shows can have the odd "holding" episode.
Or a ‘clips’ episode where they just cobble clips from previous episodes while ‘reminiscing’
Gerry Anderson used to do it with most of his series.

But you're right, the majority seem to have adopted a shrug and ignore stance towards any damage illegal actions by the executive might cause.
I'll predict that his next distraction will be sending the military into large Democrat run cities like NY, Philadelphia and Chicago.
The Courts (9th Circuit, Appeals Panel of 3 Judges) have essentially given him the leeway.

CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE (in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!), for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED! Officially, Iran will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 12th Hour, Israel will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World. During each CEASEFIRE, the other side will remain PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL. On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both Countries, Israel and Iran, on having the Stamina, Courage, and Intelligence to end, what should be called, "THE 12 DAY WAR." This is a War that could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn't, and never will! God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America, and GOD BLESS THE WORLD!

reports tonight the reasoned amendment is backed by 100 MPs - enough to defeat govt - and 13 select committee chairs (heavyweight backbenchers). This a major rebellion that could kill the bill unless serious concessions - which govt’s said it’s not prepared to make…
"Can you rewrite the essay in https://www1.politicalbetting.com/index.php/archives/2025/04/27/hyperliberalism/ in the manner of Adam Curtis?"
I won't detain you with the output, but it was quite good
I am dizzy just trying to keep up.
In all seriousness, IF it holds, on the face of it it appears to be a bit of a coup for Trump. Whether it’ll be seen as the right or wrong decision, that one will be for history to judge in the fullness of time.
A spokesperson for the Israeli military declined to comment on Trump’s statement about a cease-fire.

How about just protesting without breaking into businesses and military bases and causing £10m's of damage.
I can't stand JSO twattish behaviour (and they lost the public pretty quickly) and should be punished when they break the law, but nobody is calling for them to be proscribed as a terrorist organisation for throwing orange powder in the air at a sporting event. Instead they rightly get booed and they worked out that this form of protest wasn't aiding their cause.
How do you imagine Reform MP's would react ?
Cutting disability benefits is against Labour values, in the same way that expanding migration would be against Reform values.
If a Labour PM brings in legislation that is against Labour values, then a major rebellion would be expected.
All partiea have agreed to go to bed soon. It's time for sleep ! Thank-you for your attention in this matter.
Good night and God bless!
The Mullahs have wimped out.

A series of massive explosions are ongoing in Tehran, Iran, as the Israeli Air Force hits targets in the city.

Israel issues two new evacuation orders in Iran’s capital, Tehran, as more airstrikes are expected.
Evac orders are in the Mehran district and District 6.

The Israelis have been told to say nothing right now, the Iranians are reporting its feasible, at least some are but the debate is as per my comment way down thread, why would the Iranians want to be seen to dancing to Israel's tune? Israel attacked first, Iran sees itself as the aggrieved party. The Iranians need a break and have been searching for one since about 3 days in but don't want to be seen as being dictated to, so the sequencing needs to be right to keep a lid on those who dont want a ceasefire yet..
Also, accidentally or by design, Trump is suggesting a formal war end between two states. Hows that work when one of them literally doesnt recognise the other?
An Iranian news agency is reporting no such proposal has been accepted.
This may be all talk but Iran will want to be seen as firing the last shots, if there is one coming or it really intends to reject it
You are absolutely correct that Iran simply cannot accept a situation where it appears that they have agreed to a humiliating ceasefire that has been forced on them by a US President.

Seems the below idea was bang on.

Israel’s airstrikes have massively disrupted Iranian government operations.
I would not be surprised if most of the disjointed statements seen in the media by Iranian officials (ceasefire/no ceasefire, strikes/no strikes), are because those officials don’t know what’s going on.

A reminder: Iran’s Supreme Leader is literally sitting in a bunker under Tehran and won’t talk to anyone on a phone right now.
He appears to be using a single digit number (possibly just one) of couriers to physically transmit information because he fears an Israeli airstrike.

The next part - which may well get passed by the GOP Congress, is the $150bn in funding for ICE, which is becoming indistinguishable from a paramilitary.
It's not vanishingly unlikely that the polls won't matter by Nov 2026.
Q: "Do you know for sure where all the highly enriched uranium is?"
Vance: "Well, I think that's actually not the question before us...Uranium is something that exists in a very large supply. I think our main goal was to bury the uranium and I do think the uranium was buried."

Or perhaps Israel will allow them to have the last futile barrage ?

The use of dystopian novels as how to manuals is an affliction of our age.
But a peace on their terms.
So we have a whole bunch of wars.
