We got another massively consequential ruling from the Supreme Court this week, this one allowing Trump's dismantling of the Department of Education. But why is nobody talking about it? Because the ruling came down on the Court's so-called "Shadow Docket."
Dismantling It All With A Whisper
The Supreme Court’s “Shadow Docket” is letting the Trump White House burn it all down

Refusing to meet with the Parliamentarian to discuss if your accounting scheme violates the rules amounts to overruling her. The GOP is going nuclear to get its tax breaks for the rich.

If the GOP bill passes, a lot of folks who have grandma in a nursing home will need to take her back home. Do voters across the rural states this will impact the most understand that?

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life.
Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever.
Our problem isn't a lack of resources.
Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

Scores of staffers at the White House National Security Council have been abruptly dismissed as part of a sweeping overhaul that slashes the staff from over 300 to just 50. The move shifts the NSC’s role from policymaking to simply carrying out the president’s directives.

To fund Trump’s expiring tax cuts for the wealthy, the GOP is proposing a massive $715 billion cut to Medicaid. They’re calling it reform, but make no mistake: it’s just another transfer of wealth from those who have the least to those who have the most.

They are prescribed when there is no fluoridated water or access to fluoride, because fluoride PREVENTS tooth decay.

Curious about why "Women's Health" needs explicit focus in clinical research?
Because most historical clinical trials are composed of ONLY men because the (male) scientists thought women's hormones would "mess up" the data.
We encourage reading the book, but this is a nice intro.
