The rise in rulings on the “shadow docket” has been driven, at least in part, by Trump’s losses in lower courts. “The patterns show a court going out of its way to enable Trump,” one scholar said. “That’s the real blow to the court’s credibility.” (Published July)

Whenever Ken Starr returns to the news, it's fun to remember that one deputy investigating Bill Clinton (and Vice Foster) was ... Brett Kavanaugh! Extra fun to remember that GWBush FL Recount team in 2000 included Brett K, J Roberts, AC Barrett. Plus help from FL gov Jeb Bush. Good times!

The British trade deal wasn't what they said it was, the Vietnamese are still yet to confirm Trump's announcement, and the Japanese say they're not signing a binding agreement. The White House has released the text of ZERO (0) deals, and maybe it's all just social media posts all the way down.
