This Fourth of July, I am taking a moment to reflect. Things are hard right now. They are probably going to get worse before they get better.
But I love our country β and when you love something, you fight for it. Together, we will continue to fight for the ideals of our nation.
This year it feels more like the Farce of July.

Stunning. May was brutal for Trump in federal court: 96% loss rate βοΈ. 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.
