#ICYMI: I wrote for "One First" about the six(!) emergency applications from the Trump administration now pending before #SCOTUS—and how those cases present, both individually and collectively, critical tests for whether the Court is going to stand up to Trump:

135. The Trump Reckoning Reaches the Court
How the justices navigate the six pending emergency applications from the Trump administration will tell us a lot about how much (or how little) the Court will be a bulwark against the President.

The air traffic controllers go through a training course that is mind boggling. The references to DEI has nothing to do with the competencies of the ATC. Working at the Aeronautical Center all of these years and watching these students work so hard to pass…They are professionals!

A reminder that illegal border crossings have been plummeting. In December 2024 they were lower than they were when Trump left office last time.
This is largely b/c about a year ago, Mexico devoted more resources to halting migrants before they reached the US border (turns out, diplomacy matters!)

Been watching this advance….
BREAKING: In a sign that the barrier between church and state could be further weakened, the Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear a bid by Oklahoma officials to approve the nation’s first publicly funded religious charter school.

Supreme Court to hear church-state fight over Oklahoma bid to launch first publicly funded religious school
An attempt to authorize the Catholic school was challenged as a violation of the First Amendment, which limits government involvement in religion.

Mad respect!
Can you imagine the courage it took to preach this message directly to the president? This is what a follower of Jesus looks like. (Partial transcript below.)
