When the Supreme Court sides with Donald Trump, as it did earlier this week on mass layoffs (with even Justice Sotomayor concurring), and as it did two weeks ago in limiting the ability of lower federal courts to issue universal injunctions, it can seem to progressive activists that the judiciary is just another institution that is doing whatever it can to enable the Trump administration.
Thank you for highlighting the work so many people are doing behind the scenes every day. I think the coordinated effort is amazing. While some weren't taking what Trump said on the campaign trail seriously, others knew he'd do what he said (or at least try) and prepared for it. I really enjoyed this article, and knowing this makes me sleep easier at night.
7/10/25: Dear Chris and Matt, Thanks for letting us know bout the block to the injunction against birthright citizenship. I think I expressed that right. Between your emails and The Smile I am getting through these four years somehow. How do you do such a well-researched publication? However I imagine once to attain enough education and expertise the source materials come to you (?) Have you ever lived in Washington DC?- Tim C.
