These are the best liberal media stories. The ones where the publication unintentionally exposes the opposite of what they’re trying to argue. Of course, The New York Times wanted to drum up some narrative about the Trump administration’s struggles with the courts. The funny part is a) Trump knew this beforehand, which is why his legal team is prepared to appeal all the things, and b) it showed that the lower courts are stacked with illiberal radicals, some of whom think they are the executive.
Twitchy had it first yesterday, and, well, have a laugh:
The higher the court, the likelier Trump was to win rulings in 2025:
District courts: 25%
Appeals courts: 51%
Supreme Court: 88% pic.twitter.com/y71IMxXxl1— Peter Baker (@peterbakernyt) January 11, 2026
