Just a reminder that in US v. Nixon, the court unanimously (8-0) ordered the president to release the tape recordings and other materials. Nixon appointees Powell, Burger, and Blackmun all joined the opinion. Rehnquist, another Nixon appointee, who had worked as an Assistant AG, recused himself.

Every time
Trump has loaded his cabinet with men credibly accused of sexual assault.

So, naturally, the media, with MAGA’s guidance, is focused on… whether one trans woman should be allowed to use a bathroom.

The American press never fails to fail covering this guy and his sexually deviant posse.
