Judges are playing a lynchpin role in upholding the nation's Constitution and laws in the face of Trump's manifest disregard for them.
But six rightwing Supreme Court Justices are increasingly at odds with the rest of the judiciary, and are acting like Trump partisans, not judges

Trump's ugly firing of Lisa Cook from the Fed just got blocked. But it gets better: His own tweet calling for her resignation is cited by the judge in showing how Cook was denied due process.

Trump accidentally revealed his own bad faith and corruption.

Trump’s Own Tweet Backfires on Him as Judge Delivers Harsh Loss on Fed
The evidence that led a federal judge to declare that Trump’s firing of Fed Governor Lisa Cook broke the law? Some of it was provided by Trump himself.

Has the State Department ever warned a group of people not to mock something? I don’t mean telling State Department employees to be diplomatic, I mean threatening nonemployees with state punishment if they make jokes, bad taste or otherwise.

That’s Putin, Xi, Erdogan stuff.

Russia’s mass kidnapping of Ukrainian children is a moral outrage. Russia is sending abducted children to military training camps and preventing them from contacting their loved ones. We must work to reunite these children with their families.

NEW from me: Trump and Mike Johnson have all but blocked the release of the full Epstein files. But Massie and Khanna might not even need any more Republican votes. If Democrats hold their seat in #AZ07 and Grijalva signs, it will have a vote.

How the House could force Epstein files vote— even if no more Republicans sign on
A series of special elections might give the discharge petition enough votes in the House. The Senate is another question

Trump continues to give Russia break after break and benefit of the doubt. This will encourage Russia to further escalate, knowing the US won’t step up and respond. “I’m not happy about anything having to do with that whole situation. But hopefully it’s going to come to an end.”

Best to 👂🏽, it's a long read.

In about three weeks, the government’s funding will run out. Democrats will face a choice: Join Republicans to fund a government that Trump is turning into a tool of authoritarian takeover and vengeance or shut the government down.

First, Mike Johnson said Trump was an FBI informant. Now he says Trump “was the only one more than a decade ago willing to help prosecutors expose Epstein for being a disgusting child predator”

So, how did Trump help prosecutors? What did Trump know from all his time with Epstein? wapo.st/46erJUZ
Johnson backs off claim that Trump was an ‘FBI informant’ in Epstein case
The statements from the speaker come as Democrats and a small number of Republicans are pushing for legislation to compel the release of more files on Jeffrey Epstein.
