The rate of these questionable orders is so high that SCOTUS wouldn't be able to take them all up even if they wanted to. That might turn out to be a good thing.

True. So far, though, they have been so obviously illegal that it doesn't really matter whether SCOTUS addresses them or not. I can't see the birthright citizenship order getting more than Alito and Thomas' votes, and it could be unanimous. This teacher talk order also constitutes not only content-discrimination but viewpoint discrimination, and would be subject to a strict scrutiny that it could not withstand, not even close.

One thing to remember is that we get to control the venues now. The right-wingers took their bullshit lawsuits to the Fifth because that was the only place they would be given the time of day (well, the 8th has become pretty fucking bad as well). When liberals challenge orders, they will go to the 9th, the 2nd or DC.
 
If claiming that black people need separate, less potent vaccines than white people doesn't sink a nomination to HHS, nothing would.

In a career filled with loathsome mendacity, that one stands out. Not uniquely, perhaps, but it's grotesque.

Indeed, though Michelle Bachman does come to mind. But Kash looks like a lunatic. Like, when Hollywood directors want to make the villains look like crazy fanatics, they make them look like Kash Patel.
 
Kross-Eyed Kash is far and away one of the worst DEI appointments in the history of our country!

The FCC is investigating NPR and PBS

Carr said the investigations could lead to defunding NPR and PBS.

Federal Communications Chair Brendan Carr has ordered investigations into NPR and PBS with the goal of slashing the money given to the government-funded organizations, The New York Times reports.
The investigations are ostensibly about PBS and NPR’s member stations’ sponsorships, according to a letter from Carr obtained by the Times. “I am concerned that NPR and PBS broadcasts could be violating federal law by airing commercials,” the letter reads. “In particular, it is possible that NPR and PBS member stations are broadcasting underwriting announcements that cross the line into prohibited commercial advertisements.” Both PBS and NPR’s chief executives told the Times that their advertising complies with the FCC’s underwriting regulations.
“To the extent that taxpayer dollars are being used to support a for profit endeavor or an entity that is airing commercial advertisements,” the letter continues, “then that would further undermine any case for continuing to fund NPR and PBS with taxpayer dollars.”
Carr is already facing pushback. In an emailed statement to The Verge, FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez says the investigation is “yet another Administration effort to weaponize the power of the FCC. The FCC has no business intimidating and silencing broadcast media.”
