Trump's raging rant after major Supreme Court loss fuels internet firestorm: 'Says what?'
Reactions were rolling in Monday after President Donald Trump and his Republican Party were dealt a serious blow in the Supreme Court's ruling on mail-in ballots.Reporters asked Trump for his thoughts during a press conference in the Oval Office after the high court upheld a Mississippi law that allows mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day, rejecting the president's attacks on the voting practice. Trump was asked what comes next for the SAVE America Act, which the president has referred to as a priority. "Because of the mail-in ballot ruling, which was a little bit surprising, it gives people more time to vote illegally," Trump said.Trump himself has voted by mail — and the internet was quick to point that out."If it's a weekday afternoon in America, reporters are nodding sagely and respectfully and pretending it's normal for a president to say things your family would put your uncle in a padded room with non-toxic crayons and a ball of string if he said them," the political commentary account Recovering Journalist wrote on X."Yes, the 'illegal' mail-in votes, even though Trump votes by mail. It’s like OJ telling you driving a Ford Bronco should be illegal," progressive political commentator Chris Robinson wrote on X."Trump’s an idiot. It doesn’t give any more time to vote," Vince Wilson, liberal political commentator and YouTuber, wrote on X."Adjudicated rapist says what?" Dane Rauschenberg, long-distance runner and author, wrote on X.If it's a weekday afternoon in America, reporters are nodding sagely and respectfully and pretending it's normal for a president to say things your family would put your uncle in a padded room with non-toxic crayons and a ball of string if he said them. https://t.co/ixmhMNxxXD— Recovering Journalist (@JournoRehab) June 29, 2026

Ex-Trump lawyer predicts another 'rebuke' incoming from Supreme Court
President Donald Trump had a decidedly mixed day at the Supreme Court, suffering some major losses — and former Trump White House lawyer Ty Cobb thinks another huge one is coming down tomorrow on the last day of the court's term.Specifically, he told CNN's Erin Burnett that he believes the court is about to deliver a "rebuke" of Trump's executive order abolishing birthright citizenship, and possibly a unanimous one."The mail-in ballot case, that was significant ... he is really upset about that," said Burnett. "Then there's a Lisa Cook case, which he also took a hit in, from the Fed, she obviously was Fed governor. So do you read anything into these?" She added that Trump is furious because "This is a Supreme Court where he thinks he stacked it with people who were going to rule in his favor."Cobb agreed with this assessment. "Trump views this very transactionally — they're his people, they should vote his way. I mean that's his view of the world."However, he added, today Chief Justice John Roberts and some of his right-wing colleagues chose to "call balls and strikes," in the words Roberts famously gave at his confirmation hearing, and "hold the center" in both the Mississippi case and the Fed case.Meanwhile, he said, "Amy Coney Barrett, who wrote the Mississippi ballot case, is a conservative; she is a strong conservative, but she's also an intellectually honest person. And she wrote the decision in the way that she actually believes. I know they're livid about that. I know Steve Bannon, one of Trump's advisers, a convicted felon and Epstein confidante, has trashed her today, and that Trump is livid. But the reality is she did her job, and she should be proud of that."As for what's coming next, said Cobb, "I would expect that Trump will be rebuked again on birthright citizenship.""It should be unanimous," he added, because it's an "obvious" case — though Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas might still be loyal to Trump here.The other outstanding cases, including on transgender athletes and campaign finance, could go Trump's way, said Cobb. Nonetheless, "On birthright citizenship, which I think is at the fundamental core of what it is to be an American, I think that the country will be proud tomorrow of the Supreme Court." - YouTube youtu.be

The supreme court has again undermined the power of Congress | Moira Donegan
The Trump v Slaughter decision allows the president further influence over agencies Congress itself createdWhat is Congress for? According to the supreme court, not very much. On Monday, the supreme court overturned Humphrey’s Executor, a 91-year-old precedent, nullified the Federal Trade Commission Act, a 112-year-old law, and presumed to settle a 250-year-old debate on the scope of presidential authority when it reapportioned power away from the people’s representatives in the House and Senate and gave it instead to Donald Trump. In Trump v Slaughter, the court ruled that that the heads of independent agencies that Congress created cannot be protected from arbitrary firings by laws that Congress passed. Instead, Donald Trump is now free to fire agency heads at will and to replace them with political loyalists, regardless of what Congress has said about it.The ruling has one key exception: Donald Trump does not, according to the justices, have the ability to fire members of the board of governors of the Federal Reserve without cause and without proper procedure. A separate decision found for Lisa Cook, the Joe Biden appointee who was the first Black woman to serve on the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors, and who was fired via social media post by Donald Trump last year. In addition to Cook’s job, the decision protects the independence of the Federal Reserve and the health of financial markets, to say nothing of the considerable personal wealth of the justices themselves.Moira Donegan is a Guardian US columnist Continue reading...
