The pro-Trump Supreme Court justices are acting just like conservatives always insisted Supreme Court justices should not act. And they're doing it not in the service of perhaps overzealous progressivism, but in the service of cruelty and authoritarianism.
Trump’s Supreme Court Enablers Will Face History’s Verdict
They will be remembered for their part in the damage done to people’s lives and to the Constitution.

“In sum, with this bill we get fewer jobs, higher energy prices, a weakened economy, a less reliable grid, and higher carbon emissions. Republicans have gone from acknowledging climate change is real but insisting we should do nothing about it, to delivering all manner of harm to the country…”
"The bill includes the most aggressive assault on climate action of any legislation in history. In fact, it represents a profound shift in policy. Trump and Republicans are not just ignoring climate change — they’re actually trying to make it worse." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social
The Republican budget is a climate horror
Not content to ignore climate change, they decided to make it even worse.

Thanks to the Supreme Court blessing decisions which multiple lower courts had found unlawful, the Trump admin has now "de-documented" or "mass-illegalized" somewhere between 300,000-800,000 people in matter of days.

The details of the GOP proposal became clear—and so too did the massive impact it could have on the lives of low-income Americans. More than seven million new uninsured Americans is just the start.
