This is an absolute must read by Lawrence Hurley @lawrencehurley.bsky.social - federal judges spoke to him about their frustrations with the Supreme Court (how it's enabling Trump's attacks on them, how it's making a hash of the law on the shadow docket, etc.)

In rare interviews, federal judges criticize Supreme Court's handling of Trump cases
Ten judges tell NBC News the Supreme Court needs to explain its rulings better, with some urging Chief Justice John Roberts to do more to defend the judiciary against external criticism.

Your Medicaid is cut. Your health insurance is not safe. Your tips are still taxed. You pay the tariffs. There’s no trade deals. No wars have ended. Gas isn’t $2. Eggs aren’t cheaper. There isn’t $10 trillion in investment. The Epstein files are buried.

Patty Murray, Elizabeth Warren, Ron Wyden, Chris Murphy are all people who could do the job better than Surrendering Schumer.
Ed Markey and Tammy Duckworth could do the job better. There are much better options available to lead the Senate Democratic Caucus, is my point.

Two Republican senators told me tonight this vote shows they can execute the same strategy again — cut Democrats out of the negotiations on a gov’t funding bill, pass it thru the House, and expect Senate Dems to back down and not filibuster it.
“We liked it over here,” one said.

Read a post from a MAGA, but not your typical, hateful MAGA. She said she voted for Trump in 2024 because she hadn't had much of a raise for four years -- she's a CNA with stagnant wages.
She just posted that she is devastated. She learned that this year, she would get no raise at all.

There are a lot of busy lawyers out there. Trump doesn't just issue an EO & that's it. There will be challenges, some of them lengthy, over legality & constitutionality. The Supreme Court gave him immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts, not omnipotence.

Energy EO holds up EV charging funding to states already appropriated by Congress. If fewer charging stations get built, fewer cars will drive on electricity. This will be bad for emissions, but it will also increase gasoline use, which will raise, gasoline prices. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
