In spring 2024, Noah Rosenblum and I looked into what a potential Trump administration could do — and was signaling that it /would do/ — to American science. We never published this, but reread it recently and decided to share. The major threats have not changed.

“Roberts has been embedding white-dominant authoritarianism into the country’s source code for two decades. It’s impossible to imagine today’s crisis without the Roberts court having first undermined the foundations of our democracy.” This all on the leader of the MAGA #scotus ↘️

NEW in @prospect.org from @hannahstoryb.bsky.social: as Exxon once again seeks the help of the Supreme Court to avoid being held accountable for decades of climate deception, Alito isn't the only justice whose oily ties and inconsistent recusals raise serious ethics questions.

I absolutely cannot and will not accept the Roberts court assertion that this current environment is what the framers had in mind. A lawless President, a dysfunctional and corrupt legislative, judicial (SCOTUS) and executive branch. This cannot stand

Twenty years after John Roberts promised to call “balls and strikes,” it’s now clear that the fair “umpire" was a concocted image from day one.

"It may have taken the antiabortion machine nearly 50 years to overturn Roe, but that network has since redoubled its efforts... As such, the future of mifepristone access is uncertain as ever." @truenorthresearch.bsky.social's latest in Ms. Magazine: msmagazine.com/2025/06/23/t...

"The legal future of abortion pills remains uncertain, but what is clear is that revoking access to mifepristone is key in the antiabortion machine’s fight to maintain control over pregnant Americans’ bodies and lives." @truenorthresearch.bsky.social's latest: msmagazine.com/2025/06/23/t...

NEW: Virginia's GOP nominee for governor Winsome Earle-Sears recently claimed that she never supported limiting abortion access. But she: *endorsed a 15-week ban after Roe fell *said abortion should be illegal in almost all cases *suggested consent to sex is consent to pregnancy in audio I obtained

BREAKING: By an evenly divided vote, the Supreme Court affirms an Oklahoma Supreme Court decision blocking the creation of a Catholic charter school. Barrett recused, allowing for the deadlock. We don't know which conservative joined the liberals. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Trump doesn't think trans people have the “humility or selflessness” required to be in the military, but protects Pete Hegseth. So who exactly is endangering our national security and who is the “patriot”? Check out our latest in Tilted Scales: courtaccountability.substack.com/p/scotus-def...

Some interesting stuff in the 990 @propublica.org recently posted of Leonard Leo's billion dollar slush fund, Marble Freedom Trust. 👀https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/850784793/202510769349300031/full

Judge Jefferson Griffin wants to steal a high court seat. And he could get away with it. I spoke with @alexaronson.bsky.social about it. youtu.be/mlgxiypocjU?... #ncpol #meidastouch @truenorthresearch.bsky.social

Call it a gulag. A concentration camp. A torture chamber. Trump told El Salvador to build more for American citizens who dissent. Thanks for this vivid description by Lisa Graves, fellow co-host of @thefive8andahalf.bsky.social and strategic researcher @truenorthresearch.bsky.social
