Regarding Orr and other recent decisions by SCOTUS.
SCOTUS ruling against the government causes irreparable harm because Trump’s ego is so fragile. Ruling against him could cause irreparable emotional damage.

Almost daily I'm getting mailers opposing the California redistricting proposition. The pro-reapportionment side better get their act (and funding) together quickly or they are going to lose badly in November.

I realize there are bigger issues, but I’ve been hoping for 20+ years that relations with Iran would someday become such that I could visit as an American tourist.
I fear the odds of that in my lifetime has dropped significantly. An no, I’m not interested in going during a US occupation.

If Biden dies during Trumps term it will be interesting (probably sad) to see how Trump responds. Trump doesn’t deal well with others being the center of attention.

Trump bombing Iran would validate Iran’s years of anti-American propaganda. Iran has long said they needed nuclear weapons to defend themselves from the United States — this would prove them correct.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID.
This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.
What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. theatln.tc/IuULQFiY
