Stunning. May was brutal for Trump in federal court: 96% loss rate ⚖️. Even GOP-appointed judges have ruled against the admin 72% of the time. District courts are doing their job defending the Constitution. Soon the Supreme Court may be the only court unwilling to defend the rule of law.

Thank YOU for coming out!
This is exactly why we do this.
One objective of these rallies has been for people in red and swing areas to start seeing and finding one another. There is power in numbers.
We also bring local organizers onstage to speak and highlight local issues. It’s been great 💜

This is important! But I’m not giving SCOTUS any credit until it gives this teeth. bsky.app/profile/reic...
IMPORTANT: Sotomayor, in the dissent, emphasizes that all 9 justices believe that the Trump administration cannot do what it wants to do: shove people onto a plane with NO due process.
They openly told the DC Circuit they were going to do that if they won. On that issue, they lost.
