Always remember, it's not just Trump. This is Public Enemy No. 2: www.nytimes.com/2026/09/30/o...
Linda Greenhouse
By Linda Greenhouse

Ms. Greenhouse, the recipient of a 1998 Pulitzer Prize, reported on the Supreme Court for The Times from 1978 to 2008.

Chief Justice John Roberts has accomplished so much of his agenda that it’s not easy, as he begins his 22nd Supreme Court term, to think of what unfinished business might remain.

Affirmative action is dead. Roe v. Wade is a fading memory. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is in shreds, rendered incapable of serving its original mission of preventing states from undermining the political power of minority citizens. The executive branch agencies known collectively as the administrative state have lost their independence, with the president now able to fire nearly all agency heads for any reason or no reason at all. Federal judges are no longer to defer to an agency’s interpretation of its own authority, instead being told to decide for themselves the validity of agency regulations. Historical claims that fly under the banner of “originalism” have frozen the government’s ability to regulate the ownership of lethal weapons.

Critics warn that the Trump administration is once again scrubbing medically vetted LGBTQ+ public health information from federal websites despite a judge's order requiring restoration.

Katalin Karikó is one of the most extraordinary scientific stories of this era. A girl from a modest Hungarian household helped develop technology that saved millions of lives worldwide. In 2023, she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for discoveries that enabled effective mRNA vaccines.
SHE WAS DEMOTED, UNDERPAID, AND IGNORED FOR 40 YEARS. HER
UNIVERSITY TOLD HER MRNA RESEARCH WAS WORTHLESS. HER COLLEAGUES STOPPED TAKING HER SERIOUSLY. SHE EARNED $50,000 A YEAR FOR FOUR DECADES. THEN COVID ARRIVED - AND, SHE WON THE NOBEL PRIZE.

A screenshot of Jared Polis’ Facebook post from January 11, 2021: “This attack against the United States Congress is an attack on our republic and must be treated seriously as such through a sober process that holds those responsible fully accountable so that a clear and unambiguous message is sent to future potential insurgents that while our nation cherishes our first amendment right to assembly and free speech, we do not to sanction seditious and violent acts designed to bring down our republic and undermine the Constitution and the rule of law.”

BREAKING: SB 2471 has been signed into law! It’s the first of its kind in the nation and renders the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision irrelevant in Hawaii. This is a win for the movement to get big money, especially dark money, out of politics.

Trump got called a declining nation to his face by a foreign autocrat he flew 20 hours to grovel before, and his response was to post a Biden blame thread. Staggering levels of humiliated delusion on full public display.

Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $270B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $210B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

Even if the strait reopened tomorrow, experts believe it would take a year for gas prices to fall back to pre-war levels. And let’s be clear, the strait was open before the war. Returning to baseline is not a win. #TrumpsGasCrisis
