The Schloss-Blog is noting that for every lower court ruling that goes against Trump, the Supreme Court comes along and hands him a reversal.
Immigration? Lower courts ruled that TPS (Temporary Protected Status) could stand for migrants from Haiti, Syria and other countries. But the Supreme Court reversed it and that means Trump and his acolytes can deport whoever they want to from among 350,000 Haitians and 6,500 Syrians who are here under that status.
In other words, if you're not white, you're not wanted here. Getting Congress back in the midterms will slow it down. Getting the presidency back in 2028 will end it.
We are a racist country. Trump and the Republicans in Congress are proud of that.

Trump took what would've been a bill that would've hopefully made it easier to buy a house and said he ain't signing it - an overwhelmingly bipartisan bill - unless his restrict-the-vote SAVE ACT passes (which it won't).
Trump has relentlessly bombed Republican senators for not passing the SAVE bill. Only Iran has suffered more from bombings and Trump is giving them a half-billion dollars to heal from that.
Trump's true heart is seen in his own words: "Nobody gives a sh_t about housing," which he supposedly told House Speaker Mike Johnson in a private meeting.
Right now though, the bipartisan housing bill sits on Trump's desk, awaiting his signature that is apparently never coming.

Are Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Hareem Jeffries (D-NY) doing enough to get the Democrats over the finish line in the upcoming midterm elections? Are they out of touch with progressives in their party?
Maybe and probably, respectively.
With Trump continually sliding in polling about his job performance, why haven't the Democratic leaders stepped up, condemned him in the strongest possible terms and made sure the rest of the party picked up the cry?
The Schloss-Blog has spoken out about this before: the Democrats have been too sedate, too sedentary to get voters riled up. They have a golden opportunity to do so, but their messaging and communication has been flaccid.
They seem to be just waiting on Trump to screw up (he has) and hoping that carries them across the midterm-election finish line.
Will it be enough? We'll see.

The United States is engaged in tripartite messaging about Iran:
**Marco Rubio is telling the Gulf states we haven't sold them out with the MOU with Iran (yes, we did);
**Idiot Trump is telling everyone Iran has surrendered unconditionally (they haven't, but the U.S. has);
**and J.D. Vance is telling everyone that the negotiations with Iran are going well (they're not and we're still shooting at each other, aren't we?).
