A screenshot of an article from NewsThump with the headline: "China admits they drastically underestimated how high Trump could count." The headline is in bold black text, with "NewsThump" in red at the top. Below the headline is an image of a person in a suit with a red tie, standing in front of a backdrop with red curtains and a blurred emblem.

A humorous image depicting two individuals dressed in matching grey outfits, styled to resemble characters from the movie "Austin Powers." The larger individual, standing behind, is holding a finger to their lips in a "shushing" gesture, while the smaller individual, strapped to the larger one's chest with a harness, has a displeased expression. The background is a plain dark teal color.

John Roberts paved the way for Trump's return to the White House, making him a "king above the law." The Court's majority also seems poised to endorse many of Trump's authoritarian assaults on our democracy. But the Court could pay a high price for serving as Trump's enabler, as I discuss in PN.
