#1 – It Sure Looks Like the Trump Admin Just Outfoxed the Judge Trying to Block Pro-Hamas Leader’s Deportation
Here’s where things get interesting, though, because it appears the Trump administration may have outfoxed the judge in this case. According to reports, Khalil was moved to an ICE detention center in Louisiana. Why is that important? Because while Furman issued his order based on Khalil’s New York petition for habeas corpus (i.e., that he be released pending further litigation), the law requires that the petition be filed in the federal court district the subject is being held in. If Khalil isn’t in New York anymore, and it seems fairly certain he isn’t, then Furman has no jurisdiction over the case.
SDNY judge blocks removal of Khalil “to preserve jurisdiction” but, if as has been reported, he was already moved to another location and is not physically in the SDNY then the court has no jurisdiction on a habeas petition and this order is void ab initio.…

#2 – WATCH: Alina Habba Has a Little Fun When She Discovers Biden’s Fake ‘Oval Office’
She posted on Tuesday about what she found when she was visiting the White House — Joe Biden’s old “fake Oval Office.” And she had a little fun pointing out what it looked like and why she thought they used it.
I cracked the case! DISGRATZ! pic.twitter.com/1hpRBObEb6

She asked people “to look at the room that they put her in.”
“We’re in Biden’s fake Oval Office!” Habba declared. She said she thinks she figured it out — why they used such a fake set. She directed the camera to turn around, and she said there was a screen — a “teleprompter to the face.”
“The last administration was a disgratz (disgrace)!” she said.
#3 – Desperate Biden Begs for Relevancy, Immediately Stuffs Foot in Mouth With Clueless Women’s Day Post — by Bob Hoge
Talk about an inability to self-reflect. It was Biden, after all, who arguably did more to set back the rights of actual women than anyone in recent memory:
During Biden’s presidency, he signed an executive order that allowed trans athletes to compete in women’s and girls sports, attempted to rewrite Title IX to allow it and even tried to punish states for taking their own steps to combat the issue.
Since Biden left office, Democrats in Congress and state governments have done plenty to combat Republican attempts to address the issue.
If there’s one issue that sums up the progressive Democrats’ failure to read the room, it’s their insistence that biological men should be allowed to beat up our sisters and daughters in athletic competition.
#4 – JD Vance Might Have Just Had His 2028 Run Won for Him
The funny thing about this is that some of these memes started as leftist attacks, but the right co-opted them and ran with it. Why would they do it?
I think Tim Pool actually nailed it in a conversation he had about the memes. There are going to be people who don’t get why Vance’s own supporters would make memes that make fun of Vance, and a lot of these people are going to be women. Not bashing women, but the way men and women communicate is different.
When men like each other, they’ll actively make fun of one another. It’s how we express ourselves to one another in a way that might not seem close, and possibly even confrontational, but it’s actually an expression of appreciation and respect.
#5 – Whoops: CNN Panelist Triggered by Trump’s White House Tesla Event Walks Into Trap of Her Own Making — by Sister Toldjah
On Wednesday during a tense exchange on CNN anchor Kasie Hunt’s show “The Arena,” former Biden Dept. of Justice director of public affairs Xochitl Hinojosa told GOP strategist Scott Jennings that she thought the Trump Tesla event was a terrible public relations move for the White House because, in her view, it failed to show support for the American worker and instead put a billionaire on a pedestal.
As one might imagine, that argument did not go over well at all with Jennings, who pointed out a couple of inconvenient facts, with one being that Elon Musk was creating a lot of jobs and two, that he was employing American workers.
