Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.

There have been at least 154 cases in which federal district courts have issued preliminary relief against a Trump administration policy.
Those rulings have come from 121 *different* judges appointed by seven presidents (including 15 appointed by Trump) sitting in 29 district courts in 10 circuits:

193. The "War" on Judges
Deputy Attorney General Blanche's attack on lower courts is an impressive combination of light on substance; shamelessly hypocritical; and profoundly dangerous. More people should be condemning it.

The Supreme Court is much less popular and much more divisive today than it was when John Roberts was sworn in as the 17th Chief Justice on September 29, 2005. And at least much of that is his fault.

1. So what are the geopolitical consequences of Trump's punitive tariffs on India, vis-a-vis China. It's a bit more complicated than "pushing India into China's embrace." Let's explore more rigorously.

我記憶中，最早知道中國兒童鉛中毒多的原因是使用含鉛汽油和工業廢氣的污染，果然找到2001年中國科學院的文章，印證我的記憶沒錯 。
圖二在2006年還在討論鉛中毒，主要來源已經從汽油變成礦產，但這篇文章鏈接已經失效，進不去看了。
圖三是X上看到的，不能完全印證真假，但圖四2011年人權組織的報導外網還搜得到，中西部地區兒童鉛中毒嚴重，而且得不到醫治。
鉛中毒就是城市化、工業化的後果，過去的騰籠換鳥，污染企業大量內移，中西部完全缺乏認知和監管，吏治更黑，可能是更無從知曉現狀的原因。
