Alito and his clerks—and the other three dissenting Justices and their clerks—were in too much of a hurry to find any authority beyond a hornbook and a 6th Circuit voter ID case for the proposition that a TRO can’t order the govt to pay appropriated funds for work already completed and invoiced.

Four Supreme Court Justices declaring that Article I of the Constitution doesn't count, and justifying it by saying they personally dislike some spending Congress legally authorized, is insane. Not quite as insane as a majority saying the president can commit crimes without consequence, but close.

US cut off intel sharing with Ukraine, reducing Ukraine's ability to find and hit Russian military targets, among other things. Many said Trump won't want to look weak, he'll drive a hard bargain, etc. Wrong. I don't want any special credit, I want everyone to recognize that Trump sides with Russia.

This flew under the radar, but Trump says his administration won't enforce an anti-money laundering law that requires corporations to disclose information on who really owns shell companies to the Treasury. "Drain the swamp."

Military aid to Ukraine has always been a bargain for the U.S. We degraded Russia’s armed forces and replaced our own stockpiles with brand new weapons, all while brave Ukrainians— not Americans—fought the Russians off. Halting that aid is not only morally repulsive, it’s plain stupid.

Another big media company decides that the best response to a frivolous lawsuit aimed at stopping them from doing real journalism is not to bring their very strong defense to court, but to concede, bribe the president, and curtail whatever real journalism they may do in the future. Really bad.

No one in DC can bargain in good faith with Trump because he will not follow laws passed by Congress. No one internationally can bargain in good faith with Trump because he will not respect agreements made by the United States. Being a counterparty just makes you a target for another shakedown.

I wish more folks had read Proof of Corruption (2020). It offers a full history of the relationship between Trump and Ukraine going back years. Trump has hated Ukraine since the 2000s—and beyond the events that led to his first impeachment also illegally withheld the Javelins he loves to talk about.
