Courts are now saying it out loud: the presumption of regularity may not apply.

“In just six months, the President… may have forfeited the right… [to] presumption of regularity.”

— Paul L. Friedman — Federal Education Association v. Trump

So in this situation, transparency is reduced, not increased.

What evidence would restore that presumption for you?

The presumption of regularity is out the window with this administration. The best interest of civilians is not a priority for them in this situation.

• The FAA classified the zone as “NTL DEFENSE AIRSPACE”. This is framed as a national defense action, not routine aviation management.
• A 10-day, ground-to-~17,000 ft shutdown of a major U.S. metro airport has no modern precedent outside 9/11-era emergency measures.
• The restriction reportedly grounds all aircraft, including military, medevac, and law enforcement , not just commercial flights.
• A sitting member of Congress says there is “no imminent threat” to the community despite the sweeping restriction.
• Airline sources believe the halt is tied to Pentagon counter-drone operations targeting cartel drone activity along the border.
• If accurate, that means border drone warfare is now disruptive enough to ground a major U.S. airport, and the public explanation is essentially “trust us.”

Bad Bunny pushed ‘Together we are America’ at halftime. Who actually believes it?

I guess the little boy that got the grammy during the half time show was a kid that was in ICE custody .

This isn’t “states rights vs federal help.” It’s data centralization. If it’s just compliance, why demand raw unredacted rolls instead of audits/reporting + targeted enforcement? What problem requires DOJ possession of sensitive identifiers?
