The Supreme Court’s “shadow docket” has cast very different shadows depending on which party holds the White House.
When lower courts blocked Trump admin policies, SCOTUS intervened on an emergency basis to lift those orders in 77% of cases.
For the Biden administration, that number was 0%.

To the “I voted for this” crowd:
You voted for the guy who gutted the National Weather Service. Now we’ve got dead families and missing kids in Texas, because storm warnings didn’t go out in time. And he gutted FEMA so they can’t properly respond to disasters.
That’s what you voted for?

WSF-M is commissioned and distributing data to Department of Defense facilities around the world.
However, NOAA & NHC do not currently have access to that data. DoD has provided no plan or timeline for civilian access, and it remains unclear if WSF-M data will ever be public.

More evidence of government inefficiency and waste: Some idiot demanded that every federal employee email five bullet points of what they did last week, but failed to set up an inbox that could cope with that volume of incoming email, so the messages bounced.
