For months, President Donald Trump has griped in private about some of the Supreme Court justices he appointed during his first term, believing they were not sufficiently standing behind his agenda. But on Friday, all of his appointees — including Justice Amy Coney Barrett, the one who’s earned his particular ire — ruled in his favor in a case challenging his executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship, with Barrett writing the majority opinion. The ruling was a decisive win for a president who has long railed against unelected judges blocking some of his executive actions. The decision limits lower...

WASHINGTON (AP) — A divided Supreme Court on Friday ruled that individual judges lack the authority to grant nationwide injunctions, but the decision left unclear the fate of President Donald Trump’s restrictions on birthright citizenship.The outcome was a victory for the Republican president, who has complained about individual judges throwing up obstacles to his agenda. He called it a “monumental victory.”But a conservative majority left open the possibility that the birthright citizenship changes could remain blocked nationwide. Trump’s order would deny citizenship to U.S.-born children of people who are in the country illegally.The cases now return to lower courts, where...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Ramifications were predicted to be felt for generations after today, as in a historic 6-3 Supreme Court decision, 3 justices were ruled to be morons. The ruling came near the end of the U.S. Supreme Court's current term, leaving legal analysts around the country saying that the decision was sure to have a long-lasting impact on all future cases. "This was a ruling that shifts the balance in the country," one expert said. "According to this 6-3 decision, three of the justices sitting on the Supreme Court as morons, with the three morons themselves providing the dissenting...

And that has crippled the Court.. Last year, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, despite being in her early 50s and having an undistinguished career before her affirmative action appointment, published a memoir. You might be forgiven for having missed it when “Lovely One” came out. As the media politely notes, it was “briefly” on the New York Times bestseller list and is now going for half price on Amazon. That is mostly to be expected of the ghostwritten memoir of an obscure judge. Except that Jackson received a $893,750 advance for her memoir and is now reporting $2 million in profits...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Supreme Court issued a ruling this morning that it is legal for President Donald Trump to be the president. In a 6-3 decision, the court held that since Trump was, in fact, elected to be president, his ability to "do president things" was protected under the law. "The court hereby rules that a president can be president," wrote Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who penned the decision for the majority. "By virtue of being president, that person is the president. I can't freaking believe I'm having to explain this." Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote a scathing dissent...

There were several concurring opinions, and a dissent joined by the Court’s three liberal justices, including a separate dissent by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who has become the Court’s resident left-wing activist. Jackson wrote:”The Court’s decision to permit the Executive to violate the Constitution with respect to anyone who has not yet sued is an existential threat to the rule of law.” She derided the Court’s cited precedents in common law at the Founding as “inapt comparisons to impotent English tribunals.”

President Donald Trump and his administration are rejoicing on Friday as the Supreme Court issued a ruling limiting the authority of judges to issue nationwide injunctions. Nationwide injunctions are sweeping orders issued by district courts to block executive actions across the country. The Supreme Court ruled that these orders exceed the equitable authority Congress has granted to federal courts. Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote the majority opinion, while Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented. The case stems from an emergency appeal by the current administration, which sought to narrow orders that have blocked President Trump’s executive...

"JUSTICE JACKSON would do well to heed her own admonition: “[E]veryone, from the President on down, is bound by law.” Ibid. That goes for judges too," she added. T he Supreme Court's Friday ruling narrowing the scope of judicial injunctions also included a scathing rebuke of Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, asserting she sought an "imperial judiciary" and that her views ran afoul of more than 200 years of precedent. "We will not dwell on JUSTICE JACKSON’s argument, which is at odds with more than two centuries’ worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself. We observe only this:...

The court's opinion was written by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who took the time to include a pretty stinging rebuke to the opinions of her colleague, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. The comments have lit up Twitter/X, where many are cheering ACB for slapping down KBJ's flimsy arguments in a way that only she can:

The White House lashed out at a House Democrat who wrote on X that Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller — who is Jewish — should “go back to 1930’s Germany.” “What an absolutely disgusting comment from a Congressman to a Jewish WH official,” Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly wrote on X on Thursday, quoting Rep. Mark Pocan’s (D-Wis.) post. “Pocan must apologize — not just to Stephen, but to his constituents — and then seek professional help. This crazed antisemitic hatred from Dems emboldens radicals to target Jewish Americans.” Pocan’s Wednesday post was a response to one by Miller...

Grok @grok · 25m The news of Chuck Schumer's hospitalization on June 25, 2025, is confirmed by credible sources like Newsweek and X posts from reporters. He was treated for dehydration after feeling lightheaded at the Senate gym and has returned to work. Public reactions vary

Steve Bannon, a disgusting fraud. Nobody gives a sh*t about what you, Bannon, a confessed and convicted fraudster has to say. You’re a liar. You cheated how many people? At bottom, you’re a certified disgusting fraud. And it shows every time you open your big mouth. You opposed our great military and commander in chief at a time when they acted to destroy Iran’s nukes. 80% of Americans backed the operation. You and your tiny cabal of lunatics gave aide and comfort to the enemy. Now you prance around like you support our country rather than apologize for your outrageous...

Everyone talks about Massie but MTG is also a massive rebel and true America First patriot. She has been nothing but fantastic the last week or so and it can't have been easy speaking out especially as a member of Congress in the president's party. I appreciate Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene 👏👏👏 Here's her latest Twitter post: - -- @RepMTG This is the side of Trump that got him elected in 2016 and earned him the support of Americans who had never voted and those who switched parties to vote for him in 2024. This is one of the reasons...

Tonight this creep is attacking Trump for attacking Iran; earlier this month he was taunting Trump for negotiating with Iran. There is no brain left; there is just a partisan reflex. What Trump does is wrong; no other thoughts exist or are even necessary. *********************************************************** Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer · Jun 2 If TACO Trump is already folding on Iran, the American people need to know about it. No side deals. 0:36 VIDEO AT LINK.................

Vice President JD Vance on the remarkable tactical precision of the Iranian strike: VIDEO AT LINK............. "These guys flew from Missouri. They didn't land a single time. They dropped 30,000 pound bombs on a target the size of a of a washing machine, and then got back home safely without ever landing in the Middle East... Whatever our politics, we should be proud of what these guys accomplished."

Well, here’s a shocker, indeed: A thought bubble can get thought-bubbly. Could you have pictured this? I couldn’t, especially after the very-successful, not-at-all-astroturfed hubbub around X alternative Bluesky after Elon Musk bought Twitter and made it free-speech friendly. We were all told that Bluesky — a decentralized microblogging platform that launched in 2023 — was going to overtake X because of Elon’s toxicity, since all of the legacy media was headed there. The American left, in particular, wanted to get off of the legacy platform and build something of their own. Well, why not? After all, as they told conservatives...

Billionaire Elon Musk on Wednesday lashed out at a key aide to President Donald Trump who was rumored to have played a role in contributing to the feud that broke out between the CEO and the president. Musk responded to a report by the New York Post that said Sergio Gor, who serves as the director of presidential personnel at the White House, has not yet submitted the paperwork required for him to obtain a permanent security clearance. "He's a snake," Musk wrote in a post on X responding to the story. The public feud between Musk and Trump began...

X CEO Linda Yaccarino says the social media giant has the wind at its back again. Yaccarino told Yahoo Finance at the Cannes Lion Festival of Creativity that the platform is going through a "historic evolution" and has "96% of our advertisers coming back and a tidal wave of new advertisers coming back." Her exuberance comes as the Wall Street Journal recently reported that X has threatened lawsuits against ad buyers such as Verizon (VZ) and Ralph Lauren (RL) if they don't spend more. The paper said at least half a dozen companies have struck ad deals after being pressured....
