It increasingly seems visiting the US would be a huge mistake.

I wonder if the US tourism industry is feeling it yet?

weren't reservations way down? By like 15 to 30%?

Day trips from Canada are down something like 24% from Canada over all, and something like 80% from Ontario.

Airlines are lowering flights from Europe to US since bookings were so down, I read. One of the funnier things I also read is that after years of bitching about tourists Hawaii is now increasing advertising for tourists since their economy is hurting.

Trump shrinks National Security Council in major foreign policy shakeup

I've come to reflexively think that anything Trump does is bad.  This sounds like an awful idea.  It reminded me of something I read about the Vietnam War, so many people in the State Department lost their job during the red scare that the US had no experts on southeast Asia; and consequently the government had a reduced understanding of their culture.  On reflection, though, I realized Trump never listens to to the experts, so he may as well get rid of these people and save the taxpayers some money.

major Europe airlines pullbakck from US cities travel

Reduced bookings leads to less oferings.  weird, uh. 
seems like the US touristic industry is getting hit.

And their farms too.  Vermonters complains of being forced to milk cow at 4:00am due to a shortage of workers.  Some problem with Latino workers, apparently.  don't kow all the details

Hell I am kind of dreading traveling this summer. Not because I anticipate ICE thugs giving me shit, I am not leaving the country, but just because of the weird air traffic control issues we are having.

Once I get back from my last trip in July I think I will stay landbound until I see how that particular issue sorts itself out.

Make Josq happy and take a train

I will rephrase then.

On the practical side of things, what will that change, in your opinion?

One of two things.  Either the State Department will continue to issue visas for foreign students attending Harvard, or failure to comply with a court order will result in a finding of contempt and a constitutional crisis.

or failure to comply with a court order will result in a finding of contempt and a constitutional crisis.

This government has ignored previous court orders and was not put on contempt.

AFAIK Maryland Man is still being adjudicated.

Which other cases are you thinking of?

[The Minsky Moment]

Trump announced a deal with Paul Weiss

Just reported: "According to multiple reports, top litigators Karen Dunn, Jeannie Rhee, Jessica Phillips, and William Isaacson are exiting Paul Weiss to start their own law firm. All four were known for high-profile lawsuits, with Dunn and Rhee serving as co-leader of the litigation department and managing partner of the firm's Washington, D.C., office, respectively."

Some very strong lawyers in this group.
The other white shoes are dropping.

You're already in a constitutional crisis.

Which other cases are you thinking of?

Abregado Garcia, and many of the other immigration cases where the administration was forbidden to remove some people.

They didn't wait for any appeal to proceed.  In the specific case of Abregado Garcia, the court told them to facilitate his return.  Nothing has been done and the administration has specifically said they won't obey the courts.
