In a 5-4 decision, the Court’s conservative majority can’t find the spine to tell Trump no about the ballroom. Chief Justice Roberts is joined by the 3 liberal Justices in dissent, calling what Trump is doing “likely unlawful.”

The Executive Order on voting, which has been a major focus this week, is being contested in the context of the 2026 election. But it’s really about 2028 and beyond, and about whether Trump is going to be permitted to take control of our elections. joycevance.substack.com/p/its-really...

I love how the Trump administration now needs Zelensky's permission to make the skies of Moscow safe for a US visit.
'US asked Ukraine not to strike Moscow' during CIA chief's secret Russia visit

Washington asked Ukraine not to launch air strikes around Moscow, St Petersburg and other parts of Russia during a visit by US CIA director John Ratcliffe, a source has told Reuters.

Ratcliffe made an unannounced visit to Moscow yesterday for talks, our US partner NBC News reported.

It was his first trip to the Russian capital since he began his tenure as CIA chief.

Neither Washington or Moscow have confirmed the purpose of the visit nor who Ratcliffe had been due to meet.
