Bar chart titled β€œThe Supreme Court vs. The Lower Courts: Rulings on the Trump Administration” showing three horizontal bar charts for May 1-June 23, 2025. Federal District Courts: large red bar (82 cases, 94.3% against) with tiny green bar (5 cases, 5.7% for). Circuit Courts of Appeal: medium red bar (15 cases, 68.2% against) with smaller green bar (7 cases, 31.8% for). Supreme Court: tiny red bar (1 case, 6.3% against) with large green bar (15 cases, 93.7% for). Shows dramatic reversal from lower courts ruling against Trump administration to Supreme Court ruling for it.

Since May:

Federal district courts have ruled against Trump admin 94% of the time.

Supreme Court has sided with the Trump admin 94% of the time.

A judiciary at war with itself.

The real cover-up is of Trump's disordered mental state Sanewashing didn't end with the 2024 campaign.

"Biden was old but governed normally. Trump governs erratically *because* he’s unglued. That’s the true cover-up, one the media is enabling when they seem more concerned with the mental condition of a former president than the escalating madness of the current one."

β€œConservatives” are going to replace the most established and prestigious journals with government-backed propaganda.

He’s obviously also doing this because these journals won’t publish the crooked science he intends to perform to promote his crazy ideas.

I wonder how much Trump crypto you have to buy for a pardon as a dirty cop who got 10 years after getting caught on video accepting $75K in bribes from businessmen who wanted to buy badges?

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a β€œterrorist,” who was β€œsent to the right place.”

This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent.

He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

If Trump cares so much about fentanyl, why is he cutting addiction treatment funding? Punishing China and Mexico via tariffs won't solve the country's drug problems.

In the name of reducing fentanyl overdoses, Trump has gone to the extremeβ€”levied tariffs, listed cartels as terrorist groups, and weighed drone strikes in Mexico.

But these proclamations gloss over a glaring reality: The admin is decimating funding for treatment and overdose prevention programs.

Why one deportation case has legal scholars afraid for even U.S. citizens : Consider This from NPR The Trump administration admitted that it wrongfully deported a man named Kilmar Abrego Garcia.It had also been arguing that courts cannot compel the U.S. government to return him to this country.The ...

Lawyers across the country, including me, are ringing the bell as loud as we possibly can about the fact that the Abrego Garcia case signals the end of our democracy.

The vicious, fascistic lies Trump, Bondi, Miller, and Homan have told about it underscore that they know exactly what they're doing.

The majority seems to be affording the president a strong presumption of regulatory-assuming good faith and respect for constitutional boundaries. But everything this administration has done since Jan. 20 rebuts that presumption (a reality that may be dawning on Barrett, but apparently not Roberts or Brett Kavanaugh). As Boasberg has shown, and Sotomayor noted, the president invoked the Alien Enemies Act in secret so it could hustle
migrants overseas before courts could intervene. Why should he now receive this extraordinary, undeserved assistance to continue operating what is so obviously an unlawful program, with a pinky promise that he'll afford due process this time to those ensnared on the thinnest of pretenses? Roberts' decision to bail Trump out is a deeply ominous sign that the chief justice wants to rein in lower courts standing in the way of the MAGA agenda. If he does, it won't just be Venezuelan migrants who pay the price. J

I think the Supreme Court got the law badly wrong tonight. But beyond that, it’s just incredibly ominous that Roberts would throw Boasberg under the bus and hand Trump this big win when his administration has conducted this case in EXTREME bad faith from the start. slate.com/news-and-pol...

The Government’s conduct in this litigation poses an extraordinary threat to the rule of law. That a majority of this
Court now rewards the Government for its behavior with
discretionary equitable relief is indefensible. We, as a Nation and a court of law, should be better than this. I respectfully dissent

Needless to say, Justice Sotomayor is not mincing words. "The Government’s conduct in this litigation poses an extraordinary threat to the rule of law. ... We, as a Nation and a court of law, should be better than this."
