One negative to being really good at what you do, is that some people end up thinking what you do is easy.

ripping FEMA apart and then letting the vultures swoop
When a mile-wide tornado hit St. Louis, the entire back wall of DeAmon White's house was blown off. The third floor of his mother's home was gone.
The next morning, at 8 am, the phone calls started: Would he be interested in selling his home?

Disasters destroyed their homes. Then the real estate ‘vultures’ swooped in.
“We buy homes” companies are procuring disaster-damaged properties for cheap. Survivors say they're taking advantage of tragedy.

Nearest Green essentially created what we know as Jack Daniel’s. As a slave he taught Jack how to distill & became the first African American master distiller after being hired by Jack after the Civil War. His descendants founded Uncle Nearest in his honor & it is AFAIK the biggest Black distillery

According to this Supreme Court, Biden overstepped by trying to cancel student loans.
But Trump? Apparently, it’s OK for him to dismantle the entire Department of Education.
They don’t even try to justify their reasoning.

The explanation is that the MAGA majority on SCOTUS worked hard to make Trump a king and now they're making sure he gets to act like one 🤷♂️
Since April 4, #SCOTUS has issued 15 rulings on 17 emergency applications filed by Trump (three birthright citizenship apps were consolidated).
It has granted relief to Trump ... in all 15 rulings.
It has written majority opinions in only 3.
Today's order is the 7th with no explanation *at all.*

Here we go again: Over an acerbic dissenting opinion by Justice Sotomayor (joined in full by Justices Kagan and Jackson), #SCOTUS, with no explanation, grants a stay in the Department of Education RIFs case—effectively clearing the way for the Trump administration to dismantle much of the agency:
