It's part of a major federal court case over those cancelations. Here's what the government admitted as part of a process meant to avoid discovery (and perhaps spare it from sharing more damaging records):

A Sitting Judge Just Delivered the Most Scathing Critique of This Supreme Court Term
The Supreme Court has veered so far off track that even the harshest language can feel inadequate to capture the damage wrought by its most recent term.

The highest taxpayers are not the same as the richest people.
Tax wealth not work is a helluva a slogan would love to see someone run with that in the US

Whether this story is apocryphal or not, how we shit on Lindsay Graham today matters. Other Quislings who are still alive and enabling Trump need to know how they will be remembered if they don’t turn on him immediately. This is the legacy that awaits them all.

Why does it matter what term we use? Because diagnoses imply remedies. If the problem is polarization, the solution is civility. Dialogue. Lowering the temperature. Finding common ground. Compromise. But what if the problem is right-wing radicalization?
Dear Wall Street Journal, It‘s tiresome when you assign a selfish horse-race motive to everything that happens in politics. Yes, Democrats are “seizing on Trump’s soaring wealth.” But it‘s more than a “campaign opportunity“ — they’re appalled by a crook ruining our country.

NANCY PELOSI: We must find the next generation of Democratic leadership. Young, charismatic and exciting candidates who can energize the party. People that voters love because they're not 80 years old and sold out to big capital. CHUCK SCHUMER (behind sniper rifle): Found one PELOSI: Take the shot

We have a new message for Democrats: attack attack attack. Trump is corrupt, he’s butchered the economy, and his DOJ operates like mob lawyers. And every voter knows it. So stop looking backward. Stop with the endless focus groups. This isn't complicated. He’s weak. Finish him.
Someone has been projecting images all over D.C. “It’s swampier than ever.” The Kennedy Center one is pretty hilarious. 😂😂😂
Trump continued: “Iran wasn’t charging anyone to go through the Strait. As a businessman, I had a problem with that. So we bombed them until they finally gave in and started charging. Total victory for US.”
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo agoTrump is backing away from getting Iran's enriched material: "You could make the case, why even bother? It's not very valuable stuff."
I’d say 50/50 odds that after the name comes down, they will put up, in even larger letters “THIS IS WHERE DONALD J. TRUMP’S NAME SHOULD BE UNTIL A RADICAL JUDGE ILLEGALLY SAID I, DONALD J. TRUMP HAD TO REMOVE IT NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE BEFORE MANY PEOPLE ARE SAYING” and so on.

Before the economists come for me: yes, this compares personal net worth to national GDP. Different metrics. The point isn’t that Elon “owns” these countries—it’s that a trillion dollars is such a ridiculous number that comparisons start sounding like science fiction.
I could end this war today. Iran - make a proposal with everything you want. Dream big. Include: US to contribute $50 billion to refurbish the Obama statue in Tehran that is so much taller than anything trump ever built He’ll agree to all of your terms if you drop that as a concession so he wins

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said it is time for the Democrats to ignore party leaders, embrace a “new vision,” and call for the abolishment of U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement.
for reference and comparison: conservatively, the United States spent two-thirds of that figure in the *first week* of the war on Iran. it's genuinely difficult to overstate how many world-historical own goals US politics has accumulated over the past few decades
