Stunning. May was brutal for Trump in federal court: 96% loss rate ⚖️. Even GOP-appointed judges have ruled against the admin 72% of the time. District courts are doing their job defending the Constitution. Soon the Supreme Court may be the only court unwilling to defend the rule of law.

Infographic titled “Judges reject Trump at an accelerating pace” with subtitle “Federal district court rulings against the administration.”

The first bar chart, labeled “By month, %”, shows the percentage of federal district court rulings against the Trump administration:
	•	February: 53.8% (7 out of 13)
	•	March: 74.3% (26 out of 35)
	•	April: 76.1% (51 out of 67)
	•	May: 96.3% (26 out of 27)

The second bar chart, labeled “By appointing party, %”, shows rulings against the Trump administration by the party of the judge’s appointing president:
	•	Republican-appointed judges: 72.2% (26 out of 36)
	•	Democratic-appointed judges: 80.4% (74 out of 92)

Vores politikere antager, at det ikke er farligt at fastholde 🇺🇸 i Europa. At det kan købe os tid til selv at blive stærke. Men det hviler på den forkerte præmis, at 🇺🇸 ønsker et stærkt 🇪🇺 og det gør de ikke, skriver @jkaarsbo.bsky.social Alt i deres adfærd viser, at Trump’s 🇺🇸 kun ønsker at splitte os.

Den europæiske strategi tager ikke højde for den mulighed, at Trump ønsker et svagt og splittet Europa. Det svarer det til at have en ulv i fårefolden! De europæiske ledere bliver nødt til at stoppe med at håbe på, at “holde USA inde i Europa”! Min klumme👉🏻 www.altinget.dk/eu/artikel/j...

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.
