When you claim the unilateral authority to pay troops out of money specifically allocated to not paying troops, fun things happen in the law.
It follows, however, that every single thing that is closed, and every person who is not paid, is Trump's and only Trump's fault. By his own logic, he could pay them, and he has decided not to.

In ways above and beyond simply having a conservative GOP majority (which after all had already been the case for decades), they're just outright bad at the job. They're thoroughly unimpressive, even incompetent, as jurists, in ways that are not historically normal for the Supreme Court.

A while ago, I noticed that the better craft breweries were starting to can their beers. This became a proxy for choosing a good beer in the face of uncertainty: buy the one in cans.

Extremely well written 40 page concurrence by three of the five Justices of the Hawaii Supreme Court that sharply criticizes the First Amendment jurisprudence of the Roberts Court.
Well worth a few minutes to read it!

Check out Justice Eddins’ complete repudiation of the Roberts Court here. It’s worth reading in full. It’s quite brave—and exceedingly rare—for a sitting judge to speak so candidly and scathingly about SCOTUS’ partisan contortions of law, history, and fact.

This administration should lose the presumption of regularity/good faith/credibility because they have earned it. Grist for the mill from Just Security.
With a terrific team, I just published a large study looking at all court cases involving the Trump administration.
Shows basis for courts no longer giving a so-called "presumption of regularity" (a legal doctrine involving a strong benefit of the doubt) to the administration.

If he was a competent party leader, Jeffries’ messaging re: Mamdani would be based around “the Democratic Party is a big tent that solves people’s problems. We support Spanberger in Virginia and Mamdani in NYC.”
Instead he’s like “the worst people make some good points actually.”

If you’re a white person bitching about Dems, their messaging, age, their leaders, their policies, are you even aware that the white demographic has not voted majority for a Democratic president since 1964, the year the civil rights act was passed. Sit with that.
