Friday seems to be lining up solidly in the win column for the Trump administration, particularly in the courts. (Yes, you read that right.) The Supreme Court handed the administration not one, but two favorable rulings late Friday.

First, in the case styled American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, AFL-CIO v. SSA, challenging DOGE access to personal financial records, the court granted the administration’s application to stay the case pending appeal. 

In March, Maryland District Court Judge Ellen Hollander granted plaintiffs’ motion for a temporary restraining order (TRO), and then in April, granted their motion for a preliminary injunction. The administration appealed the case to the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, which denied the administration’s motion for a stay. In early May, the administration filed its application for stay with the Supreme Court.
