We’re up to at least 97 cases in which district courts have blocked Trump policies—from 73 different judges (appointed by seven different presidents) in 25 different district courts across 10 circuits.

Today’s “One First” looks at what critics of these rulings are leaving out of their narratives:
155. What District Court Critics Aren't Telling You
The increasingly loud claim that district courts are abusing their powers by blocking Trump administration policies depends upon a series of indefensibly selective (and easily rebutted) arguments.

This young man is a student, a teammate, and a neighbor. Now he’s in ICE custody with no answers.

This isn’t safety—it’s cruelty.

We’re in touch with local authorities and working to make sure he has legal support.

Very talented young musicians. Cheers to the retired musicians who helped make it happen.
What musicians did after an executive order on DEI led to the cancellation of U.S. Marine Band collaboration
After an executive order ending DEI initiatives, the U.S. Marine Band canceled a concert featuring young musicians of color. Veterans stepped in to mentor the aspiring musicians.

The argument behind President Trump’s executive order banning DEI initiatives is that America has eliminated racism and no one is held back by race. But Cari Dominguez says employment data doesn’t support that. https://cbsn.ws/4bzDaZu

I was looking up something about our table & chairs & thought I’d tell you again how much I love them. I love the way they look & function, that they were crafted by 2 human beings, not a machine. I love all the good memories they’ve seen. (Too bad we rarely see the top!😁)
