Scathing dissent from Justice Kagan:

"[T]his Court reverses that judgment based on its perusal, over a holiday weekend, of a cold paper record. We are a higher court than the District Court, but we are not a better one when it comes to making such a fact-based decision."

They know Texas is blue.
But they can't afford it to go blue. So they take away people of color's representation.
That's the Trump Court.

The Republican hacks on SCOTUS start with whatever ruling will help their fellow Republican partisans and lazily work backwards from there, barely offering an excuse for their egregious hackery.

John Roberts keeps complaining no one respects them. Yeah, because we’re actually paying attention.

Naturally, but the GOP and their MAGA fluffers on social media will have nothing to say about this, and Mike Johnson will pretend not to see this story until 2029.

In my 30 years producing TV news, we’d do a first screen of a piece by not watching it, but just listening to it. If the story isn’t interesting to just hear, no pictures or graphics will make it better.

Amazing how much we improved a story having never watched a frame.

Pictures just add to it.
I tell my students the easiest way to catch mistakes is for them to read their papers out loud, and they always look at me like I'm insane.

But look, that's what we do with our own books! Because it works!

📌So MAGA is protesting against Costco, because Costco is standing against Trump's absurd, costly tariffs, so they can hold prices down that would benefit MAGA.

With Trump and his SiL and golfing buddy Witkoff “negotiating” with the Russians and trying to ignore the Ukrainian and European side in this “peace” deal … it won’t bring peace.

But the Trump family will rake in a profit.
