There is nothing subtle about what the Supreme Court is doing.
They gave Trump legal immunity, and now they are trying to give him political immunity.

SOUTH CAROLINA — @RepJamesClyburn: “Why is it when you have a 75% white district that’s not racial, but you have a 45% Black district that is racial? There’s no way the numbers bear this out… I never thought I’d see the day the Supreme Court would be so openly partisan.”

The redistricting chaos we’re seeing in AL, FL, LA, TN, and VA is something #SCOTUS knowingly enabled, and it belies both the putative purpose of the “Purcell principle” and the Court’s repeated insistence that it’s staying out of the political process:

Hassett, translated: Now that we have fewer immigrants, we have fewer jobs. I know that contradicts what we told you when we said immigrants were taking your jobs. I just figured you rubes would fall for the lump of labor fallacy.

Hassett: "The breakeven job number is a lot lower than it used to be because we're tightened the border. So 130,000 jobs this year is sort like 200,000 two or three years ago because we don't have this massive inflow of immigrants that are working. So these are really great jobs numbers."

Why haven't we heard from a SINGLE Democratic state about steps they're taking to counteract the post-VRA GOP power grabs in Louisiana and Alabama and South Carolina and Tennessee and Texas and North Carolina and Missouri and Florida? Is every Democrat asleep at the wheel? Do you think this is going to fix itself? Why is it so fucking difficult for Democrats to fight back? If you're in power in NJ, NY, MD, CO, IL, WA, OR, wake the fuck up and announce steps to redraw the maps so that Democrats are not drawn out of power forever.

The 6 conservative justices green-light Alabama Republicans' request to change their map in wake of Callais, acting immediately rather than waiting for next motions conference. Removes one of two majority minority districts. They’re now a runaway freight train, jettisoning Dem seats right & left. Really really bad.

The Supreme Court, which ordered Alabama to create a second Black opportunity district just three years ago, has lifted that order one week before the primary. The Purcell principle says courts shouldn't permit chaos too close to an election—it's now an open question as to whether there will even be a primary on schedule.

President Donald Trump said he supports suspending the federal tax on gasoline to help Americans shoulder surging fuel prices caused by the Iran war. Congress would have to approve the move. apnews.com/article/trump-…

@SenFettermanPA It’s not so much the money it’s the way in which it’s been done. Trump wanting it done like it’s his own backyard except he’s using his neighbors credit card to pay for it

NEW: The cost of President Trump's plan to repair the Reflecting Pool has jumped by 88 percent, to $13.1M, gov't records show.
The price appears to include a 20 percent profit margin for Trump's handpicked contractor, who got the job in a no-bid contract.
