I am baffled by the Washington Post's sanitized framing of this story. The Supreme Court is clearly going to "rule on the law" -- that is what courts do! The news is that SCOTUS signaled that it might gut the VRA entirely.
Compare WaPo and Democracy Docket's headlines. Which source do you trust?

He intends to keep the plane when he’s gone—that’s not in question.
It’s a $400 million bribe.

If you want to understand the rationale and cruelty behind Trump's anti immigrant policies, just read up on Stephen Miller. This is all his doing. Trump is golfing most of the time. Miller is an avowed white nationalist. He doesn't hide any of it. It's all there.

Prof McBride, USNA 1974, PhD Johns Hopkins, went on to say, “Your acquiescence was a repudiation of the Naval Academy’s historic mission. You may take some solace that the removal of these books was a lawful order. However, such an interpretation runs contrary to larger Constitutional issues ..

Some lawmakers claim they can cut "waste" and "fraud" without affecting your health care. But the House's budget framework they just passed includes nearly a trillion dollars in potential Medicaid cuts. The only way they can find that much is by kicking millions of Americans off their health plans.
