There have been at least 154 cases in which federal district courts have issued preliminary relief against a Trump administration policy.
Those rulings have come from 121 *different* judges appointed by seven presidents (including 15 appointed by Trump) sitting in 29 district courts in 10 circuits:

193. The "War" on Judges

“Good Vibrations” hits #1 on the UK charts today in 1966.
The song, David Leaf wrote, “redefined what a pop single could attempt, and in doing so redefined what American music could aspire to. .. The record doesn’t simply sit in pop history — it towers over it.”

60 Minutes is doing a story on Trump's crypto corruption tonight. I did a lot of work with them in the background - it's a great team and Scott is genuinely committed to journalism.
Nothing from my interview made the cut - which is disappointing - but so happy they got this past Bari.

Leonard Leo is a lawyer, but he's never argued a case in court. He's never held elected office.
But for years he rebuilt the American legal system, resulting in the Supreme Court's right-wing supermajority.

Here is another example where scientists have generated systemic immunity against human papilloma virus using nasal delivery of a cationic nanogel containing the HPV16 E7 protein as an antigen. In addition, an anti-tumor effect was seen. Game-changing!

So why on Earth is he lowering his tariffs on various foods?
Duh, because his tariffs raised prices.
