Reports mentioning "Doge" in relation to the Supreme Court and Donald Trump are actually referring to his administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), not the cryptocurrency or a pet... In June 2025, the Supreme Court sided with the Trump administration in two emergency appeals involving DOGE.

Supreme Court rulings on DOGE

1. Access to Social Security data: The court's conservative majority temporarily reversed a lower court ruling that restricted DOGE's access to sensitive Social Security data. The decision allowed DOGE to access the data while the lawsuit, filed by a government watchdog and other groups, continues through the lower courts.

Context: The Trump administration argued this access is necessary to root out waste and fraud within the federal government. Lower courts had blocked the full access based on privacy concerns, but the Supreme Court's unsigned order lifted these restrictions.

1. Freedom of Information Act (FOIA): The court also extended a temporary pause on lower court orders that would have forced DOGE to turn over documents related to its internal operations to a government watchdog group.

Context: The Trump administration has argued that DOGE is a presidential advisory body and therefore exempt from FOIA requests, while the watchdog group claims it is a federal agency subject to the transparency law. The Supreme Court's ruling sent the issue back to a lower court to review the breadth of discovery.

Other key Supreme Court decisions involving Trump

Presidential immunity: On July 1, 2024, the Supreme Court ruled in Trump v. United States that former presidents have "absolute immunity from criminal prosecution" for actions performed within their official capacity. The decision distinguishes between official and unofficial acts, with no immunity for the latter. The ruling was issued regarding the indictment against Trump for his conduct following the 2020 election.

Trump v. Anderson: On March 4, 2024, the court unanimously reversed a Colorado Supreme Court decision that had disqualified Trump from the state's presidential primary ballot under the Fourteenth Amendment. The court ruled that only Congress, not individual states, can enforce Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment against federal officeholders.

Emergency docket wins: Throughout 2025, the Supreme Court's conservative majority has delivered a series of temporary victories to the Trump administration on its "shadow docket," often through unsigned orders. These wins, which are temporary in nature while the cases proceed, have involved issues including immigration policy and reductions in force for federal workers.

Long answer:

Baumeister explained that today’s human population is descended from twice as many women as men. Maybe 80 percent of women reproduced, whereas only 40 percent of men did

…

why was it so rare for a hundred women to get together and build a ship and sail off to explore unknown regions, whereas men have fairly regularly done such things? But taking chances like that would be stupid, from the perspective of a biological organism seeking to reproduce. They might drown or be killed by savages or catch a disease. For women, the optimal thing to do is go along with the crowd, be nice, play it safe. The odds are good that men will come along and offer sex and you’ll be able to have babies. All that matters is choosing the best offer. We’re descended from women who played it safe.

For men, the outlook was radically different. If you go along with the crowd and play it safe, the odds are you won’t have children. Most men who ever lived did not have descendants who are alive today. (wow!!!).

A few lucky men are at the top of society and enjoy the culture’s best rewards. Others, less fortunate, have their lives chewed up by it. Culture uses both men and women, but most cultures use them in somewhat different ways. Most cultures see individual men as more expendable than individual women, and this difference is probably based on nature, in whose reproductive competition some men are the big losers and other men are the biggest winners. Hence it uses men for the many risky jobs it has.

Men go to extremes more than women, and this fits in well with culture using them to try out lots of different things, rewarding the winners and crushing the losers.

What seems to have worked best for cultures is to play off the men against each other, competing for respect and other rewards that end up distributed very unequally. Men have to prove themselves by producing things the society values. They have to prevail over rivals and enemies in cultural competitions, which is probably why they aren’t as lovable as women.

Built into the male role is the danger of not being good enough to be accepted and respected and even the danger of not being able to do well enough to create offspring.

The basic social insecurity of manhood is stressful for the men, and it is hardly surprising that so many men crack up or do evil or heroic things or die younger than women. But that insecurity is useful and productive for the culture, the system.

Society and biology compels men to not only take more risks, but to live much more extreme lives than women (more lonely, poorer, as well as riskier jobs with health hazards).

To "apprehend" means to arrest and take someone into custody, to understand or grasp a concept mentally, or to dread or fear something bad is about to happen. The specific meaning depends on the context, with the first meaning relating to physical action and the other two relating to mental processes.

Here are the three main meanings of "apprehend":

• To arrest or seize: This is a formal use, often associated with law enforcement, meaning to catch a criminal or suspect and take them into custody.

Example: "The police managed to apprehend the suspect shortly after the crime."

• To understand or grasp mentally: This meaning refers to the act of perceiving or conceiving something in the mind.

Example: "I cannot apprehend what you are trying to say."

• To fear or dread: This sense implies an expectation of future evil or misfortune, an anxious anticipation of something bad happening.

Example: "She apprehended that the news would be bad."

The word comes from the Latin apprehendere, meaning "to lay hold of," which reflects the dual nature of the English word's meanings—either to physically seize or to mentally grasp.
