We’re up to at least 97 cases in which district courts have blocked Trump policies—from 73 different judges (appointed by seven different presidents) in 25 different district courts across 10 circuits. Today’s “One First” looks at what critics of these rulings are leaving out of their narratives:

That would be awful. Don’t share this.

Trump's "big, beautiful bill" is a tax cut for billionaires and a restraining order on the rest of us.

I will not associate with and do not support posts calling for violence against ICE. Their are serious questions as to their mask wearing and identification. Questioning this and passively resisting is fine. Not violence.

Lather. Rinse. Repeat. Ad Nauseam.

One thing we never talk about is how NASA was not allowed to fail in the same ways that SpaceX does. For NASA, they’ve been under a strict microscope of not wasting taxpayer dollars in their pursuits. The bar was always high. SpaceX has a lower bar, all while still using taxpayer dollars.

Heavy rains in the mid-Atlantic region today. Very heavy right now in Maryland. Never drive through water, even if you think it's shallow. Heed warnings by the NWS. Remember that foods are among the most deadly natural* disasters.

I feel like it's incumbent on me to be clear that, if you play the video at the bottom of the page, you will get to see and hear many of the fiftyleven Star Trek references at my wedding leimageinc.com/wedding-venu...

Yup. Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

On Memorial Day, we remember the sacrifices that our men and women in uniform and their families have made to preserve our freedom. May we always strive to honor the strength and resolve they’ve shown our country.

Work requirements hurt poor people AND are a waste of money. Arkansas spent $26 million on administrative costs for work requirements — and saw no increase in employment. Georgia’s program cost $40 million in one year — 80% of that went to administrative and consulting costs.

if your grand approach to politics is bloodless poll-testing so that you're always aligned with wherever public opinion happens to be, you've already lost

Why do we need to expand access to paid family and medical leave and affordable childcare? So that working people don’t have to choose between their families and their livelihoods.

In order to prevent despair, we must celebrate the wins.

I just realized there's no way at all Kristi Noem has any idea what the nickname "Bergen-Belsen Barbie" refers to. I'm hoping someone can explain it to her, maybe with the help of finger puppets or even the corpse of a dog she recently killed.

“I still love Vampire Weekend. Those guys are incredible. [“Giving Up The Gun”] was a blast, but I’m not the best tennis player. I would always tell people I’ve worked with Jake Gyllenhaal. Like, ‘Yeah, we’re co-stars.’” We’ve got a file on Joe Jonas… 👉 www.stereogum.com/2308872/weve...

I guess Melania’s dream of a Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Harvard is off the table.

The Broadway composer of "Annie" and "Bye Bye Birdie" died Thursday at 96.

Let's talk about these two department store owners: brother and sister Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld. From Newark, New Jersey. They are random people, basically. But in the late 1920s, with fascism taking over Europe, they made a choice that profoundly changed the world: 🧵
