#BREAKING: Chief Justice Roberts issues temporary, "administrative" stay of the government's midnight deadline to turn spending taps back on in foreign aid funding case. This is not a sign that the Court is going to rule for Trump on the merits; it's buying a short amount of time to sort it out.

This doesn’t really make sense—the policy and its alleged exceptions are self-contradictory—but the upshot seems to be that the Pentagon will kick out virtually all transgender service members who are serving our country honorably. A cruel and despicable move that undermines national security.
