Letting Trump’s WH Ballroom go forward, SCOTUS majority misleads from the 1st sentence, calling it a “federal govt” project. But it's not. It's a Trump project. That's why it’s illegal. He failed to get Congress’s permission. The 4 dissenters (at right) correct the record, also in 1st sentence. 1/3

In October 2025, the federal government started a project to replace the East Wing of the White House.CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS,

whom JUSTICE
SOTOMAYOR, JUSTICE KAGAN, and JUSTICE JACKSON join, dissenting.
The President ordered the demolition of the East Wing of the White House to make way for a new, privately funded state ballroom in its place.

The Trump administration has filed 36 emergency applications since last February, which have generated 31 conclusive rulings. In those 31 rulings, the Court has voted *for* Trump in whole or in part 27 times (87.1%), and against him four times (12.9%). Here's a chart covering all of these rulings:

In @katiephang.bsky.social v Todd Blanche, after in camera review, Judge Sullivan sets a hearing for Aug 13 where defendant must provide more detailed explanations & backup for his redactions of Jeffrey Epstein related documents. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The Defendant did not provide such documentation;
rather, he asserted that certain redacted text
contains the identities of victims or potential
victims whose counsel have contacted the government
and requested that the persons be treated as victims.
See Def.'s Notice of Compliance with Court Order, ECF
No. 25 at 2-3. The Defendant's assertions do not
comply with the Court's Order, which requires
documentation to support the assertions. The Defendant
shall be prepared to discuss what documentation he
will provide to support his assertions.In response, the Defendant
stated that he did not produce the notes for two
reasons: they are "substantially similar to" and
therefore duplicative of the typewritten reports, and
there is a risk of inadvertent disclosure of victim
information because the notes are handwritten. Def.'s
Resp., ECF No. 19 at 14. The Defendant does not point
to a provision in the Epstein Act that contains an
exception for "substantially similar" or duplicative
documents, see id.; and the Defendant has acknowledged publishing "substantially similar" draft indictments.
See id. at 13. The Defendant shall be prepared to
explain why the handwritten notes cannot be redacted
manually, or why the redactions cannot be accomplished
in another way•

This is the last of the prosecutions seeking to hold accountable those responsible for the
events of January 6. That book is now closed. Today’s epilogue diminishes the gravity of that
day, denigrates the work of the prosecutors and law enforcement officers who secured these
convictions, and excuses criminal acts that caused a centuries-long pillar of our democracy—the
peaceful transfer of presidential power—to buckle. The court cannot write a different ending.
