Chief Justice John Roberts warned against personal attacks on the judiciary, telling an audience Tuesday that while criticism of opinions is fair game, “personally directed hostility” is dangerous and must stop. “They openly disrespect the presidents who nominate them to the highest position in the land,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.”Speaking on Tuesday, Roberts was asked about past chief justices he believed were underappreciated. But Hughes, Roberts said, was “savvy enough” to take a different approach. “Instead, he’s working behind the scenes, explaining to people what this would do to the role of the court,” Roberts said.

The truth of the relative tax burden is best shown by the share of income taxes paid by income level. Afterall, the pretax income share of the top 1% is nearly twice that of the income of the entire bottom 50%. That includes all federal taxes (corporate income taxes, excise taxes, and estate taxes, as well as payroll taxes), which as a group are less progressive than the federal income tax. The effective tax rate of the richest 400 taxpayers was also less than the 24.2% effective tax rate of the bottom 50% of taxpayers. Reinstating that top marginal income tax rate for the super-rich would undoubtedly help to undo today’s tax injustice.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGPresident Donald Trump recently unleashed a fiery rant about the U.S. Supreme Court over its February tariff ruling in a post published on his Truth Social platform late Sunday night. Legal and political science experts say the president’s post reveals quite a lot about how he views his relationship with the nation’s highest court. Trump applauded the three conservative justices — Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh and Samuel Alito — who sided with him in the tariffs case. Advertisement“They openly disrespect the Presidents who nominate them to the highest position in the Land, a Justice of the United States Supreme Court, and go out of their way, with bad and wrongful rulings and intentions, to prove how ‘honest,’ ‘independent,’ and ‘legitimate’ they are,” he continued. The emergency docket, also referred to as the shadow docket, refers to the process in which emergency applications are filed for the Supreme Court to urgently rule on a case without it fully passing through the normal decision-making process.

Joe Kent, then-director of the National Counterterrorism Center, testifies in December during the House Homeland Security Committee hearing on "Worldwide Threats to the Homeland." Trump, after winning back the White House in that election, appointed Kent to a top position in the national security world. “I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. “The absurd allegation that President Trump made this decision based on the influence of others, even foreign countries, is both insulting and laughable,” she wrote. “Joe Kent is a crazed egomaniac who was often at the center of national security leaks, while rarely (never?)

LOADING ERROR LOADINGVice President JD Vance on Monday accused a journalist of “trying to drive a wedge” between him and President Donald Trump regarding the Iran war when reminded of his earlier stance on U.S. military operations overseas. The heated exchange between Vance and RealClearPolitics reporter Philip Wegmann went down at an Oval Office press event, during which Wegmann pointed to reports of the vice president’s skepticism on Operation Epic Fury while asking if he was “completely on board with the current war” in Iran. Advertisement“Look, I think that I know what you’re trying to do, Phil, you’re trying to drive a wedge between members of the administration, between me and the president,” Vance said. But if you’re talking about an attack on the Iranian mainland, I think that would be a significant escalation. “It is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby,” he wrote in his resignation letter.

(AP Photo/Alex Brandon)Earlier this month, Chicago journalist Stephen Held revealed that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) suspended his and his wife’s TSA PreCheck after he was arrested by Customs & Border Patrol (CBP) last September. In a Bluesky post from March 4, Held included a letter he received from TSA after his arrest informing him that his TSA PreCheck and Global Entry eligibility had been revoked. Held suspects that the government is weaponizing even “something as trivial as TSA PreCheck” to dissuade protesting or covering the Trump administration’s actions. When Held’s wife checked her status online, it still says she is eligible for TSA PreCheck. A coalition of 46 press freedom groups sent a letter demanding Rodriguez’s release accusing the Trump administration of political retaliation.

“It took about 30 years for computer vision technology to mature,” says Jack Liu , head of corporate development at Ainos , a Texas artificial-intelligence company focused on AI scent technology. In testing, scientists have shown that e-nose technology reliably detects lung cancers , urinary-tract infections , and gastrointestinal disease . The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, meanwhile, has developed e-nose technology to track astronaut health on long-distance or long-duration missions. In February, Ainos began deploying e-nose technology to monitor testing and packaging facilities related to semiconductor manufacturing.
