Trump continues overhaul of White House grounds with new Rose Garden statues

A bronze Thomas Jefferson was installed as the fifth new statue last week. Three were provided by Harlan Crow, a conservative collector and political donor.

Bravo to these judges, who are traveling around the country to educate the public about the importance of the rule of law!

Danny Miller@danielmilleresq.bsky.social · 4w ago

This is so powerful. Inspired by the March of a Thousand Robes in Poland, retired and sitting judges in the United States walked down the streets of Columbus, Ohio to stand up for the Rule of Law. #JusticeinMotion

Trump Pulled in at Least $2 Billion After Returning to the White House

Justice Brett Kavanaugh is having a real one: He authors opinions of the court denying vulnerable kids the right to play sports and striking down campaign finance rules, and then writes a concurrence/dissent that essentially says the citizenship of babies born in the US is up to Congress to decide.

And in the biggest act of "See? We're not that bad!" ever, the Supreme Court holds that children born in the United States, regardless of their parents' citizenship status, are US citizens.

I've covered the court for the better part of 20 years. I love my job. But, y'all, sometimes it makes me angry and sad. Profoundly, profoundly sad.

This is devastating, not only in the majority's analysis that contorts the principles of constitutional interpretation beyond all recognition, but also for the way it strips one of the most vulnerable populations in America of the right to live a full and happy life.

6-3, Supreme Court upholds state bans on transgender athletes competing in girls’ and women’s sports. www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

I do not think there is sufficient appreciation for how catastrophic yesterday’s decision in Slaughter is for this country. As Justice Sotomayor said in her dissent and she intoned from the bench yesterday, “today the majority reshapes our Govt.”

In the short term, at least, this is a boon for the GOP, which has far more in its party coffers than Democrats

Smashing precedent and historical tradition, the court’s conservative supermajority declared that Trump has the right to fire those he doesn’t find sufficiently loyal. That’s a coronation.

Trump's gonna LOVE this SCOTUS: Trump can't summarily fire Fed governor Lisa Cook, BUT he essentially has the *constitutional* right to fire other agency heads even if Congress created the agency to be independent and limited now leaders can be fired. A gobsmacking expansion of presidential power.
