Of all the terrible things Roberts has done, this was the most shocking stat: "the right-wing majority has used the shadow docket to uphold Trump’s actions roughly 90 percent of the time, repeatedly bailing him out of any obligation to follow the law"
There’s one person squarely to blame for Trump’s corruption, authoritarianism & assault on democracy: John Roberts. He’s enabled so much of Trump’s lawlessness while somehow escaping accountability for it

Mayes: I worry about how we’ll even know if something gets withheld.
There’s a timing issue: when will the documents be released? There’s a redaction issue: how much will be redacted? And then there’s a completeness issue: how much are they actually going to release?

Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.
He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.
Release the transcript.

Donald Trump says he wants interest rates to come down – but he is refusing to release the data the Fed needs to do that.
Seems like he wants to hide bad jobs data.
And working families will keep paying the price.
