Please note that only official translations are used. Strategy decks Main article: Community-built decks/Rustbolt However, try to avoid just using brute force against his zombies as he will use health-boosting tricks and bonus attacks to keep them alive for much longer. Playing powerful plants on the aquatic lane is also a good way as Rustbolt will be forced to spend some brains on removing those plants rather than focusing on boosting his zombies due to his weakness in the aquatic lane. You would also want to get rid of any Medulla Nebula environments as he can ramp his brains up within a few turns. Therefore, removing Flag Zombie and similar zombies is a must. Flag Zombie will enable more dangerous zombies like Gargantuars to be played earlier when used with Brain Vendor or Gargologist. If it was already used, use cards that ignore health such as Squash and Lawnmower or reset them by bouncing with cards such as Spring Bean and Jumping Bean. Try to destroy them before Rustbolt can use health-boosting tricks. Rustbolt has cheap health-boosting options for his zombies. He can also Conjure Amphibious zombies via the use of cards like Triplication, but this is luck-based. However, Rustbolt does have many moving and stat-decreasing cards up his sleeve, which can help him deal with Amphibious threats, not to mention his signature superpower, Shrink Ray, as well as any other hard removal cards he owns. Rustbolt's only drawback is his lack of Amphibious zombies, as his classes feature neither, making the aquatic lane near-untouchable. Some Rustbolt-exclusive combos include Zombie King + Transformation Station, allowing Rustbolt to get an 8-cost zombie as early as turn 5 via Knight of the Living Dead and Flag Zombie + Medulla Nebula and/or Brain Vendor, allowing him to have a ton of brains to use easily. These boosts can make Rustbolt's zombies almost invincible with boosted health, strength, and the Frenzy trait.Īs Rustbolt has access to both cost-reducing cards such as Flag Zombie and ramping cards such as Brain Vendor, he is able to easily play his expensive cards like Zombie King, Intergalactic Warlord, or especially Bad Moon Rising much earlier than usual, making them harder for his opponent to deal with. He also has plenty of zombies that can boost other zombies' stats, such as Team Mascot, Primeval Yeti, and Coffee Zombie. Speaking of Brain Vendor, Rustbolt can get a brain profit by playing them while Flag Zombie is on the field. Rustbolt also has access to the most sports zombies out of any zombie hero, with not only the initial Hearty sports zombies, but also Pool Shark, Drum Major, Mountain Climber, and Brain Vendor, allowing him to use a sports deck with great effects for otherwise weak zombies. Rustbolt can also let zombies do bonus attacks with Lurch for Lunch or Gadget Scientist and surprise plant heroes by tactical use of Teleport. Or, he can lower plants' strength with Shrink Ray or Landscaper will make that plant vulnerable to some of the aforementioned cards, as well as do less damage. Rustbolt's Brainy and Hearty classes provide comprehensive destruction mechanics, suitable for hard removal of just about every plant, being Rolling Stone, Weed Spray, and Celestial Custodian for any plant with 2 or less, Rocket Science for 4 or more, and Knockout for 3 (or less, but Rolling Stone is still better for plants with 2 or less). His Armored Zombies are very tough to take down…especially when he uses special abilities to weaken the Plants!" With "This metal menace is the master of defensive Tricks.

The name of his super-rare strategy deck, "Hail to the King," shares the same name with a song & an album by the heavy metal band Avenged Sevenfold. His description references the phrase, "A few screws loose," which is used to describe someone or something that is crazy or weird. His armor may be a reference to the Marvel Comics superhero, Iron Man. His helmet bears a slight resemblance to Marvel's Magneto. It may also be based on the region of the United States, " Rust Belt." His name is a combination of "rust," a possible reference to his armor coming from a junkyard, and "bolt," referring to his appearance and many of his animations. Let’s continue on the thought I just presented above - That burning more calories will burn more belly fat. Make the switch if you want to actually lose the belly. Unfortunately, ab and core exercises burn few calories compared to their multi-joint counterparts such as squats, deadlifts, or push-ups. The more fat you lose the less belly fat you’ll have. The more muscles you work, the more calories you burn, and the more fat you lose. In order to achieve this, you'll want an exercise program that works the whole body. To lose fat around your belly you don’t need a workout for your stomach, you need a workout geared at burning fat. Doing endless ab exercises will not help you lose your gut faster. Unfortunately, spot reduction is a myth that will not die in the fitness industry. The common example is doing endless crunches to lose your belly. Spot reduction is the idea that you can burn fat in a certain area by working it out. The 5 Principles of Healthy Eating Mistake #2 - Spot reduction Now let's get to the training.ĭon't Drink Your Calories - A Guide for Cutting Out Sugar-Sweetened Beverages That covers the basics of nutrition and what you need to know. If your day was like many of us - that is at a desk and inactive, then reduce how many carbs you have. If you were very active during the day then you can eat proportionally more carbs. Keep your carbs in line with your physical activity. Protein digest slowly so It will also keep you full longer. This is important for maintaining your muscle mass because muscle is made of protein. If your training as you should then make sure to have a source of protein with each meal. Bad things happen when you go to the extremes. There is no one macronutrient ratio for everyone because what works best depends on a person's individual response, activity level and, goals.ĭo not cut out any macronutrient entirely. The fuller you feel the less you eat unnecessarily and the more weight you will lose. It plays a big role in how full you feel. Ratios refers to the ratio of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates in your diet(also known as macronutrients). If you do this you will see a huge difference in not only your physique but also your health. This means lean meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds legumes and whole grains. Aim for whole foods high in nutritional value. I like to keep things simple when choosing quality foods. The better the composition - the more toned and defined you will look. Your body composition is the ratio of how much muscle you have compared to fat. Here is another useful guide for finding how many calories are in the foods you eat every dayįood Quality is going to play a big role in your body composition. Track all of your foods for 3 days and you begin to get an idea of how many calories you're consuming a day, and how many calories are in your favorite foods. Dropping too many calories a day will make you hungry, slow your metabolism, and make you more likely to lose muscle in the process.įor help getting an idea of how many calories you're eating I suggest a 3-day food log using a service like myfitnesspal. This will ensure healthy gradual weight loss. If you're looking to lose weight then I advise not cutting much more than 500 calories a day. If you want to lose weight - Reduce your calories. If you want to stay the same - Maintain your calories. If you want to get bigger - Eat more calories. It’s how much food you're eating and specifically how many calories you're consuming per day. Quantity is going to determine your weight. So How do you know what eating well entails? I like to break it down into three categories which I’ve picked up from Fat Loss Expert Josh Hillis - Quantity, Quality, and Ratios If you lose weight and drop belly fat then your waist will get smaller. When it comes to losing weight and changing physique it all starts in the kitchen. If this describes you then take joy in knowing that with a few tweaks we can get the scale and the tape measure moving in the right direction. Today I'd like to share how you too can train the core properly and drop 1 to 2 inches off your waist within the next month.įirst, let's start off five mistakes that I often see in the gym from those who are looking to narrow their waistline. Since that time I've trained a number of clients who have lost 5,10,20, and even as much as 60lbs while dropping several pants sizes and inches off their waist.ĭuring this time I've been able to see and document the training and exercises that have been most effective. However, as I went through my schooling I learned that the common assumptions I and many others in the gym have for narrowing the waist were either inefficient or even potentially dangerous. When I started training I thought that lots of cardio and crunches were the key to this tight waist, and if I did enough I’d have abs like Adonis. Mechanically, it’s a simple word- and pattern-recognition game. Anomia is firmly in the latter category, and I’ve often worried that my more-competitive friends would lose their voices after playing. Then there are games that are so quick, with such engaging energy, that if you play them too late at night, your neighbors might end up filing a noise complaint. Why we love it: Some games require sharp focus, advance planning, and subtle strategy, and this can lead to a lot of intense, furrowed-brow looks around a silent table. The teams switch off doing this until one team has gained 10 points and wins the game. (To give you an idea, “You think The Phantom Menace is an 85% good movie?!” is something that was furiously yelled the last time I played.) Once they lock in a position, the other team can earn bonus points by betting on whether they’re too far to one side of the target or the other. The other players try to interpret the clue and position the dial’s needle accordingly, which is normally when debates tend to spring up. Next, they give their team a phrase that suggests where on that scale the target is. The psychic gets a secret look at the position of the target and is given a card indicating two ends of a scale (from loud to quiet, good idea to bad idea, and so on). The trick is that they can’t see the target while they move the needle instead, a member of their team acts as the “psychic” who tries to get them to guess the correct position. How it’s played: Players are split into two teams, and each round one team is tasked with moving a dial so that the needle is in the center of a funnel-like target (the closer to the center you get, the more points you score). Whoever collects the most gold (earned mostly by acquiring land) throughout the game wins. This continues for a number of rounds, depending on the number of players. And on their next turn, players pick a new race/power combo to use. As players expand their empires and come into conflict with each other, they eventually run out of useful tiles, which they can then turn over (the game calls this “going into decline.”) The pieces stay on the board and can still accrue points (but they can no longer be used to gain new territory). Once a player picks their characters, they get a set of tiles representing their troops during their turn they use the tiles to take over land on the board. For instance, if you pick up Wizards with a Flying power, you get bonus gold for occupying magic spaces (the Wizards feature), and you can send your troops anywhere on the board (the Flying feature). Each race is paired with a separately shuffled stack of powers, which modify what the troops of that race can do. How it’s played: At the beginning of the game, every player gets to select a fantasy race to control from a shuffled stack. Sound Booster doesn’t make any difference on my sound. In the dialog that opens you can asign two separate hot keys for increasing and decreasing boost level. Right click on the icon of Sound Booster at the system tray. How can I assign a hot key to amplify sound? We are constantly working on improving the quality of sound. Try to reduce the level of boost a little bit. If the speakers of your PC can’t handle the dynamic range Sound Booster outputs, you might hear some distortion. Why am I hearing a sound distortion while using Sound Booster? In trial version Sound Booster stops to amplify sound for 5 seconds every 5 minutes. Most likely you are running trial version of Sound Booster. Why sound level drops to original level sometimes? If it is checked, Sound Booster will start automatically on Windows startup. In the dialog that opened please check the “Start on Windows startup” setting. How can I make Sound Booster start on Windows startup? If you encounter any problems with this process just let us know and we will gladly help. This can be easily done by clicking “Deactivate Software…” menu item in Sound Booster’s context menu. If your license allows to install Sound Booster only on 1 computer you will need to deactivate Sound Booster on old computer before you can activate it on the new one. How can I move Sound Booster to a different computer? In certain cases, such as where activation is done by using a volume licensing key or when your product is being checked to see if it is genuine, none of the information related to activation is sent to Letasoft. None of the information collected through activation or reactivation is used to personally identify you. For example, there might be a visual indication in the title bar that your copy is not properly licensed. If you do not activate or reactivate your copy of the software, you might not be able to use it or it might be marked as not properly licensed. Choosing to obtain information online about your licensing state sends information normally sent during activation. If this happens, an Activation Wizard might allow you to obtain more information online about your licensing state and how to resolve activation issues. You might also be asked to reactivate your copy of the software. This information might include information normally sent during activation. If you choose to follow that link, information about why you failed activation is sent to Letasoft. If you are unable to complete activation, you might receive a message with a link to a Web site where you can learn more about why activation failed. Some changes to your computer components or the software might require you to reactivate the software. If you uninstall the product you might be required to activate your product again. Minor upgrades do not require re-activation. The software can detect and accept changes to your PC configuration. Most likely you exceeded the number of activations allowed for Sound Booster edition you have bought. Why am I getting “The product key you typed is already in use” message? You can activate Sound Booster absolutely without the Internet but it will take some time. You will need the product key that has been emailed to you upon purchasing Sound Booster and connection to the Internet. What do I need to have to activate Sound Booster? Along with standard computer information, some additional language settings are collected. It cannot be used to determine the make or model of the computer and it cannot be calculated to determine any additional information about your computer.

I could do that just by dragging down here on this point, but maybe I don't want the highlights to get so bright. So let's say I wanted to darken down the tones in the shadow areas of the dune. So, this works good for minor contrast adjustments, but the advantage of working with curves is that it gives you a lot more control. And now if I drag over to the right, I can increase contrast, and if drag to the left I can decrease it. So, in terms of contrast, you might be asking yourself: well what's the difference between adjusting contrast here in curves and using the contrast slider out in the tune image section? So let's go into that tune image section, and if a drag vertically on the screen, I can see my choices there, and there's contrast. This curve is also often referred to as an S curve, simply because it recalls the shape of the letter S. So with a hard contrast curve that we have here, the highlights are being raised up and made brighter, and the shadows are being lowered and made darker. Same thing with the shadow point there, if I tap on that, that corresponds to the darker parts of the histogram that you see on the left side. So if I tap on the highlighted point there, if you draw an imaginary line straight down, it corresponds to the area of the histogram that you see there on the right-hand side: the brighter parts of the image. If you look at the points on the curve, they correspond to the area on the histogram if you draw a straight line immediately down from that point. And in between is that gradual ramp from black to white. So, on the far left side we have total black, and on the far white side we have total white. And this corresponds to the histogram that Snapseed is overlaying over the curve dialogue. So, to this image of the sand dune, I have added a gradient from black to white and then a row of swatches from black to white. And I'm just going to tap on the little swatch booklet there to close the view of all the presets, so we can see the curve in its entirety here. I'm going to go back to the hard contrast just 'cause I think that's a good one to start out with. So, if you go through and take some of these for a test drive, you'll get a sense of how the curve is affecting the image. Hard contrast is a little bit more pronounced. So for instance, if I tap on neutral, that's no change at all. There's actually quite a lot of presets that are available there, and one of the ways to get a sense of how the curve is affecting the image, if you're new to working with curves, is just to try out some of these presets and see how the image is changing based on how the shape of the curved line is being adjusted. And you can see that down there at the bottom in the thumbnails. So, by default, it starts out and applies a curve preset for hard contrast. So in Snapseed, I'm going to tap on the pencil to get my tools, and I'll just choose curves. If you're already familiar with Photoshop, Lightroom, or similar programs, then you may already be aware of how you can use curves to edit your images. So, curves is not a feature in a lot of mobile apps, but it's becoming more common in some of the more full-featured, photo-editing apps. There are a lot of really useful ways that you can edit your images in this app, and one of them is to use a feature called curves. I'm referring to Google Snapseed, which is available for both Android and iOS. Hi I'm Sean, and this week on Mobile Photography Weekly, we're going to take a look at a custom editing feature in one of the most useful apps that you can have on your mobile device. So, it’s sometimes collaborative, and sometimes independent. There are things that we can work on independently in our own environment, and things we need to work on together, such as recordings. I usually work with a team of arrangers, musicians and engineers who all need to be involved in the music production. Suzuki: In many cases, the composers in charge of each project take the lead in creating the music. Kawamori: We didn’t take a co-writing method, but still, we made sure that we all care about the connectivity of music by sharing footage of the beginning and ending parts of each scene. It would be interesting to learn more about the working process of the team: is it a collaborative environment where musicians work alongside each other and other members of the team, or is it more independent? One of the biggest differences between FFVII and FF VIIR is FF VIIR’s score comprises a large team of SQUARE ENIX composers. We spoke with SQUARE ENIX’s music director Keiji Kawamori about supervising the FFVIIR music, along with FFVIIR composers Masashi Hamauzu, Mitsuto Suzuki and co-director (scenario design) Motomu Toriyama to learn more about the process behind arranging FFVII’s iconic melodies and creating original pieces of music for the world of FFVIIR. The music in FFVIIR has won numerous awards, including outstanding music supervision at the Hollywood Music in Media Awards, best score and music at The Game Awards, the Japan Golden Disc Award for soundtrack album of the year and best cinematic cutscene audio at the Game Audio Network Guild Awards. And to live up to the expectations of music fans, SQUARE ENIX enlisted a dream team of composers with extensive work across FINAL FANTASY titles. The score features brand-new tracks alongside reimagined versions of FFVII’s most iconic music. Not only is this one of SQUARE ENIX’s most ambitious titles to date, but it’s also one of their most impressive musical feats too, with hundreds of pieces of music created by the SQUARE ENIX music team over the course of a year (excluding pre-prod). Remaking a game with the legacy of FFVII while keeping the core fanbase satisfied is no easy task, but FFVIIR was largely met with praise following its release in 2020. So when FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE, the first entry in a three-part remake of the 1997 classic was revealed at E3 in 2015, fans had high expectations for the music. Most recently, the BBC announced its first-ever video game prom, which will feature music from the FINAL FANTASY series.Īll of this illustrates the fact that Uematsu’s melodies are just as, if not, more iconic than the FINAL FANTASY games they were created for. Over the years, this demand for FINAL FANTASY music has led to crowds flocking in their thousands from all over the world to attend FINAL FANTASY concerts such as Distant Worlds, Final Symphony and the FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE Orchestra World Tour. Orchestral arrangements of tracks from the game such as Aerith’s theme and One-Winged Angel make regular appearances in the Classic FM Hall of Fame and on BBC Radio 3 music shows, while jazz arrangements of FFVII music are regularly played by Jon Baptiste and his house band to millions of viewers on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Stories of people committing suicide after losing money are not always publicized, which is why the real number of people who kill themselves after running up massive losses is not known. In a statement to Business Insider, a Robinhood spokesperson said the company was “ devastated by Alex Kearns’ death.” The spokesperson said that the company had made several improvements to its customer service and other functions since Kearns’ death. “ That could panic just about anybody,” Blakeman said. The family’s attorney, Benjamin Blakeman, told CBS News that Robinhood made it look like Kearns owed the app $730,000 when he actually didn’t owe anything. The day after his death, Robinhood notified Kearns of lifting his trade restrictions because he’d met his margin call. The parents say the investment app “must be held accountable” for Kearns’ death because its customer service failed to answer their son’s questions. Robinhood sent Kearns an automated message notifying him that the company was “working to get back” to him. Could someone please look into this?” Kearns wrote. “ My bought puts should have covered the puts I sold. The young trader wrote in the email that he was “ incorrectly assigned more money than I should have.” The Kearns family is accusing Robinhood of wrongful death, arguing that the stock-trading app failed to offer “ meaningful customer support” to their son, who was desperate to find answers to his questions.Īfter seeing the negative cash balance, Kearns contacted Robinhood’s customer service to understand why he had accrued the massive debt. In their lawsuit against Robinhood, Kearns’ parents say they believe the app’s response to his questions about the apparent loss of $730,000 contributed to his suicide. In a suicide note to his parents, Kearns wrote about having “ almost $1 million worth of leverage” and that he had “ no clue” what went wrong. On the day Kearns committed suicide, his account on Robinhood had been restricted and showed a negative cash balance of $730,000. Dan and Dorothy Kearns filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the investing app, according to CBS News. The family of Alexander Kearns says that Robinhood is partly to blame for their 20-year-old son’s death. THE wrongful death lawsuit against Robinhood Critics say that millions of young traders are lured into buying and selling stocks on Robinhood by the prospect of making big money. The stock-trading app has been particularly popular among young individuals with no experience in investing and stocks. It’s appealing to users because it allows them to invest more than they have without having to use financial brokers or charging commissions. Robinhood has dominated app store rankings since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020. For children and the child in all, there are waffles, cookies, crème brûlée, and “choctails” (chocolate cocktails). For the adults, there are cocktails, ranging from classic martinis with a twist to spiked milkshakes to creative chocolate cocktails. It’s the ultimate chocoholic’s fantasy: creamy fondues paired with fruit, thick milkshakes topped with mounds of whipped cream, and golden, fluffy waffles topped with scoops of ice cream and ooey gooey chocolate.įamilies and adults alike will be delighted in the offerings. Some desserts are specifically made for sharing, but we won’t judge you if you don’t. This is the type of place you come to just eat dessert for dinner and perhaps enlist a friend or three to help devour the gigantic portions. The menu includes savory bites like hamburgers, pizzas, and pasta for lunch and dinner, but the main event here is dessert. There is an additional sweets shop in Times Square and an outpost of Max Brenner in Philadelphia. The flagship Max Brenner in Union Square includes a restaurant and a shop selling pastries, chocolate “shots,” and all sorts of chocolate gifts, including boxes of chocolates, fondue sets, and red and white gingham metal lunch boxes filled with sweet treats. Brenner started a new venture in 2018, the Blue Stripes: Urban Cacao, which emphasizes using the shell, fruit, and pods of cacao to make a variety of products, from dark chocolate to cacao water to cacao flour. Today, Brenner is no longer part of his eponymous chocolate restaurant known for its syringes of chocolate and piping hot “hug mugs” of thick hot chocolate. Named for Brenner (and his lack of hair) and his original partner, Max Fichtman, Max Brenner: Chocolate By the Bald Man was acquired by Israeli food conglomerate Strauss Group in 2001, and the headquarters was moved to New York. Started by Oded Brenner in Ra’anana, Israel in 1996, the chocolate bar concept quickly took off. Large tubes transporting rivers of chocolate from the kitchen to the bar are prominent fixtures crisscrossing the restaurant, and music with singers crooning about chocolate and confections sets the mood. Walking into Max Brenner: Chocolate by the Bald Man is like walking into a real-life rendition of “ Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” The scent of chocolate wafts through the air, preparing palates for the fanciful feast for the senses that awaits. Max Brenner: A chocoholic chocolate bar like no other. Similarly, one of the many problems with Kacsmaryk’s Deanda decision is that it violates the constitutional requirement that federal courts may only hear a challenge to a federal policy if the person bringing a lawsuit has been injured in some way by that policy. But, again, the holding of Bostock was that “it is impossible to discriminate against a person for being homosexual or transgender without discriminating against that individual based on sex.” His opinion in Neese, for example, concludes that a statute prohibiting discrimination “ on the basis of sex” does not prohibit LGBTQ discrimination. Many of Kacsmaryk’s decisions are so poorly reasoned that they can be rebutted in just a couple of sentences. Kacsmaryk’s opinions are embarrassingly poorly reasoned - including his latest Remain in Mexico one Any conservative interest group can find a federal policy they do not like, file a legal complaint in the Amarillo federal courthouse challenging that policy, and nearly guarantee that their case will be heard by Kacsmaryk. Yet, thanks to an obscure rule governing which federal judges are assigned to hear cases in Texas federal courts - 95 percent of civil cases filed in Amarillo, Texas’s federal courthouse are automatically assigned to Kacsmaryk - this prurient man is now one of the most powerful public officials in the United States. In a 2015 article, Kacsmaryk denounced a so-called “Sexual Revolution” that began in the 1960s and 1970s, and which “sought public affirmation of the lie that the human person is an autonomous blob of Silly Putty unconstrained by nature or biology, and that marriage, sexuality, gender identity, and even the unborn child must yield to the erotic desires of liberated adults.” Kacsmaryk has demonstrated a hostility to the LGBTQ bordering on paranoia.”Īnd Kacsmaryk is just as fixated on what straight people are doing in their bedrooms. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said during his confirmation fight, “Mr. A former lawyer at a law firm affiliated with the religious right, he’s claimed that being transgender is a “mental disorder,” and that gay people are “disordered.” As Sen. Kacsmaryk is one of many Trump appointees to the federal bench who appears to have been chosen largely due to his unusually conservative political views. Given Kacsmaryk’s record, it would be shocking if he does not issue such an order - regardless of whether he has any plausible legal basis for doing so. FDA, a case asking him to force the FDA to withdraw its approval of mifepristone, a drug used to induce an enormous percentage of all abortions in the United States. Meanwhile, abortion rights advocates are holding their breath waiting for Kacsmaryk to decide Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. Clayton County (2020), which established that statutes prohibiting “sex” discrimination also ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity, because “it is impossible to discriminate against a person for being homosexual or transgender without discriminating against that individual based on sex.” His opinion cannot be squared with the Supreme Court’s decision in Bostock v. Becerra, which held that a federal law prohibiting certain forms of discrimination by health providers does not protect against anti-LGBTQ discrimination. Meanwhile, in mid-November, Kacsmaryk handed down another decision in Neese v. Kacsmaryk didn’t even have jurisdiction to hear the Deanda case in the first place. Lest there be any doubt, his opinion is riddled with obvious legal errors. He claimed that the program is unlawful because it doesn’t require grant recipients to get parental permission before treating teenage patients. Becerra targets Title X, a federal program that provides grants to health providers to fund family planning and contraceptive care. The previous Thursday, Kacsmaryk became the first federal judge since the Supreme Court eliminated the constitutional right to an abortion to attack the right to contraception. His busy week, and months of earlier actions, show the havoc one rogue federal judge can create, especially in today’s judiciary. Biden, was merely the capstone of an unusually busy week for this judge. But Kacsmaryk’s order in this case, Texas v. It’s a significant decision in its own right, and will only prolong uncertainty at America’s southern border. It’s the second time that Kacsmaryk has pulled this stunt - he did the same thing in 2021, and the Supreme Court overturned his decision last June. On Thursday evening, a Trump-appointed judge named Matthew Kacsmaryk effectively ordered the Biden administration to reinstate a harsh, Trump-era border policy known as “Remain in Mexico,” which requires many immigrants seeking asylum in the United States to remain on the Mexican side of the border while their case is being processed. |
