Samuel Alito has recused himself from a Supreme Court climate case, after ethics watchdogs uncovered his fossil fuel stockholdings. Instead of relying on the justices to occasionally do the right thing, we need Congress to enact real SCOTUS reform.

BREAKING WaPo: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson just slammed the Supreme Court's use of its "emergency docket" — suggesting the court has misused the process in allowing the Trump admin to move forward with a host of controversial policies while challenges play out in lower court.

Both WaPo and @oliverdarcy.bsky.social are reporting that one of the stories the WH claims they banned Politico for was based off a background briefing (that is, they're complaining Politico reported what WH told them to). Darcy makes it clear JD was the background briefer in this case.
