Day 2 = Profit
Who knew betting against Jonbon would lead to profits. I knew thats who and from now on I'll bet against Jonbon every chance I get while they continue to race. Today's Queen Mother Champion Chase highlighted why. A simple jumping mistake lead to an 18 length defeat. Don't get me wrong Marine Nationale is a quality horse who I backed to win today but Jonbon was simply too short a price today.

![More broadly, the Order unlawfully exercises judicial power by making factual findings
that the Firm engaged in purported misconduct and then punishing the Firm based on those findings. In cases involving private rights of liberty, property, and contract, the Judiciary—not the
Executive—makes those determinations. See Granfinanciera, S.A. v. Nordberg, 492 U.S. 33, 54-
56 (1989); see also United States v. Bear, 769 F.3d 1221, 1230 (10th Cir. 2014); cf. SEC v. Jarkesy,
603 U.S. 109, 140 (2024) (the Constitution prohibits the “concentrat[ion of] the roles of prosecutor,
judge, and jury in the hands of the Executive Branch”). In Section 1 of the Order, however, the
President makes various (false or misleading) findings about the Firm’s representation of the President’s 2016 opponent and other clients, as well as its advocacy and hiring practices. And in Sections 3 and 5, the President purports to penalize that conduct by, among other things, forcing
the Firm’s clients to disclose their attorney-client relationships with the Firm, stripping those clients of their government contracts, limiting the Firm’s access to government buildings and ability
to interact with government personnel to practice law, and presumptively barring Firm employees
from government employment.
The Executive Order does all this in a way that the judiciary could not—by pronouncing
judgment without any notice, opportunity to be heard, or neutral evaluation of the evidence. In
Joint Anti-Fascist Refugee Committee v. McGrath, 341 U.S. 123, 126 (1951), the Supreme Court
condemned the notion that the Attorney General could lawfully designate groups as “subversive”
“without notice, … without opportunity to meet the undisclosed evidence[,] … and without opportunity” to object. Id. at 161 (Frankfurter, J., concurring). Yet that is precisely what the

OPNManager is a beta version Android app for the OPNsense firewall
OPNManager is a streamlined, user-friendly application designed to simplify the management of OPNsense firewalls. Built with Tauri and SvelteKit, this cross-platform app provides an intuitive interface for users who need a more simplified alternative to the standard OPNsense web interface.
It is not an official OPNsense mobile app but will use the OPNsense API to allow a user to view and manage some basic dashboard functionality.
The dev is trying to get enough testers together (see on the r/opnsense Subreddit) and then the app can appear as a beta testing app on Android’s app store.
But if you look at the GitHub site you will see an Android APK release, as well as Linux releases including an AppImage so far.

in reply to Dietrich Feist • • •Was vielleicht nicht jeder weiß: in #Ontario, der bevölkerungsreichsten Provinz Kanadas, kann man Alkohol nur beim staatlichen #LCBO kaufen. Das LCBO betreibt eigene Läden und beliefert die Kneipen und Restaurants. Es kauft den Alkohol für 15 Mio Einwohner und ist damit der größte Alkohol-Einkäufer der Welt. Was das LCBO nicht einkauft, kann auch niemand in Ontario trinken.
Das LCBO hat jetzt sämtlichen US-Alkohol aus den Regalen genommen. Das ist völlig unabhängig von irgendwelchen Strafzöllen. Für die bisherigen Lieferanten aus den USA ist es eine Katastrophe, weil sie nicht 25, sondern 100 % ihres Umsatzes verlieren. Andere kanadische Provinzen ziehen jetzt ebenfalls nach.
