This thread is silly. It’s from Syndi, so we can all be sure that it’s silly.
Although President Trump has lost frequently in some (not all) cases brought in the lower courts, some liberals are actually whining about how he has a “string of wins” in the SCOTUS.

Barrett spurns Supreme Court bias claims after string of Trump shadow docket wins
- Trump v. CASA, Inc.
— The Supreme Court curtailed the power of lower courts to issue universal (nationwide) injunctions blocking enforcement of Trump’s executive order on citizenship, ruling that district courts generally can only enjoin relief as to the specific plaintiffs, not broadly.
- DOGE / Social Security Access / FOIA Disputes
— The Court granted emergency relief in a pair of “DOGE” (Department of Government Efficiency) cases, allowing more aggressive access to Social Security data and remanding a lower-court FOIA order back to the appeals court for reconsideration.
- Foreign Aid Freeze
— The Court allowed the Trump administration to freeze billions in foreign aid by lifting or staying lower court injunctions blocking the freeze, at least temporarily.
— (Related: Department of State v. AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition — where the Court intervened on the merits of freezing funds. )
- Removal of Independent Agency Officials
— In Trump v. Slaughter, the Trump administration challenged statutory removal protections for members of the Federal Trade Commission. The Supreme Court granted a stay, effectively permitting the administration’s effort to remove an FTC commissioner.
- Immigration / Detention / Border Enforcement
— The Court has granted relief in several emergency applications concerning immigration enforcement, including detaining or questioning individuals about their legal status and upholding standards for “reasonable suspicion.”
— Also, the Trump administration’s use of the Alien Enemies Act for deporting Venezuelan detainees was subject to shadow-docket intervention by the Court.
- Limits on Nationwide Injunctions / Scope of Courts’ Powers
— In addition to Trump v. CASA, the Court’s shifting attitude toward nationwide injunctions has been a focal point. Some orders have reversed lower courts or narrowed the scope of judicial power in emergent contexts.
So: our lefties claim to enjoy addressing why Trump keeps
losing (eg, this silly thread) while they also complain about how and why he keeps
winning.
Pick a lane you dumbasses.
