Huffington Post - As President Donald Trump made his way out of Congress following his first speech to the body since retaking office in January, he stopped to shake hands with the four Supreme Court justices in attendance. While shaking the hand of Chief Justice John Roberts, he said, “Thank you again, I won’t forget it,” then slapped the chief on the back.
Roberts is the author of the decision in Trump v. United States, which in July 2024 made it possible for Trump to win the White House in November. The decision granted presidents absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts, and, in doing so, postponed Trump’s prosecution for trying to overturn the 2020 election long enough for him to win the election, putting him in the Oval Office and thus beyond the reach of prosecutors. Roberts gave Trump a get-out-of-jail-free card, and Trump is grateful.
CNN - A divided Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected the Trump
administration’s request to keep billions of dollars in foreign aid
approved by Congress frozen. However, the court did not immediately say when the money
must be released, allowing the White House to continue to dispute the
issue in lower courts. The ruling was 5-4.
Robert Reich - A federal judge has ruled that Trump illegally fired NLRB member Gwynne Wilcox and ordered her reinstatement.
This is a huge win for workers and unions.
