Even if Los Angeles were low on water, Trump’s executive orders wouldn’t help with that, because the federal government’s canal system doesn’t actually deliver any water to the Los Angeles area.

Trump's claim of routing water to Los Angeles is hogwash. It all goes to Central Valley megafarms.

The Post previously said these nominees “spread treacherous disinformation,” “sabotage democracy,” and "parrot false claims about fraud." Now it says they lack "disqualifying deficiencies."

Seems really clear that the conservative majority is drawing up a broad decision that would say it's not sex based classification and that trans people do not meet quasi suspect class status. I can't tell you just how bad it would be. It would fully greenlight draconian laws.
