Considering History: The Scopes Monkey Trial and the History of Attacks on Educators | The Saturday Evening Post This week marks the 100th anniversary of one of the most sensational trials in American history.

What happens when you “return education to the states.” 🗃️

Lifting the District Court’s injunction will unleash untold harm, delaying or denying educational opportunities and leaving students to suffer from discrimination, sexual assault, and other civil rights violations without the federal resources Congress intended. The majority apparently deems it more important to free the Government from paying employees it had no right to fire than to avert these very real harms while the litigation continues. Equity does not support such an inequitable result. * * * The President must take care that the laws are faithfully executed, not set out to dismantle them. That basic rule undergirds our Constitution’s separation of powers. Yet today, the majority rewards clear defiance of that core principle with emergency relief. Because I cannot condone such abuse of our equitable authority, I respectfully dissent.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court allows the Trump administration to move forward with the abolition of the Department of Education. It gives no explanation for its order. All three liberals dissent. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

UPDATE for all of Fox News live coverage from July 14

Biden: 158 mentions
Epstein: 8 mentions*

Trump ordered a stop to the Epstein coverage and Fox's stars obeyed.

*Epstein tally includes this example; no mentions before the 6 p.m. ET hour:

The Supreme Court is out of control. To allow the president, without any explanation, to unilaterally dismantle agencies created by an Act of Congress is to endow the president with sovereignty. There is no justification, because they haven’t given one. Our country is in big trouble.

IT GETS WORSE 😳

"Kristi Noem didn’t authorize FEMA’s deployment of Urban Search and Rescue teams until Monday, more than 72 hours after the flooding began, multiple sources told CNN."

Context: The relationship between emergency managers, media, and NWS is cultivated over years. It's a 3-legged stool that can age well as long as it's maintained with good comms, procedures, and practice. Having NWS managers (MIC, WCM, SOO) missing would break the stool, but I'd think (?) slowly 2/2

Supreme Court faces new headwinds with roughly two weeks left in the term Some 20 cases remain to be decided—about a third of the total argued cases--many of them the most important of the term. But the shadow docket — with its own list of cases — looms over the other opinions.
