Originally published at: SCOTUS Has Passed Its First Test (Barely) — But The Harder Ones Are Coming Fast
Hello, it’s the weekend. This is The Weekender 
President Trump’s attempt to unilaterally withhold foreign aid. That’s $2 billion that had not only already been allocated by Congress, but the work for which had already been completed; the plaintiffs were literally asking the government to pay its bills. It was an easy case, but…

The federal government will not be honoring contracts. (Four SCOTUS justices are fine with this as we know from the USAID dissent.)
The TSA workers should strike. Furthermore, the entirety of the labor movement should use whatever financial and logistical and political resources it has to help them strike. I say this not because I think a strike would be easy, but because the alternative to striking when your employer just announces that they are throwing your contract in the trash is to effectively accept that your employer can throw your contract in the trash, and still receive your labor.

To think that Amy Coney Barrett might be helpful in saving the nation is from bizarro world! But if she is, so be it.

Mine will both jump into boxes at any chance they get. Lucky kitties- they have no stress about anything happening outside of the house and their cat world. Unlike me, just trying to get through every day without falling prey to anxiety.

OT, but maybe not.
Little Marco is going to find out that Felon47 never forgets an insult (eight plus years ago he suggested that the big dick had a little dick) and that revenge is best served cold.
trump has placed Rubio in charge of the Panama shake down. A project that will never go well. He could get Panama to plead for mercy, he won’t, and it won’t be good enough according to trump. When all is said and done trump will say that Rubio failed and fire him.
So it goes.

Early on, I was thinking the same, i.e. that L’il Marco might be the first casualty of the Trump dysfunctional administration. While he did a 180 in his opinion of Donnie, he was (and is) probably the least of the so-called loyalists.

Just a reminder that this is today as well. Also, that as usual, tRump tried to take credit for March being Women’s History Month by signing a stupid EO declaring it as such, but it actually began in 1987 under Preznit Raygun.
Apparently, he had to delete his post two days ago taking credit where no credit was due to him. Scammy fucker.

Well, I’d say Matt Gaetz is merely insignificant roadkill. He never made it out of the gate.

Yeah, and he stepped on his own dick. But one has to wonder what he did to piss off the dotard.
