President Trump's lawyer says "we are pleased" with certain aspects of the Supreme Court's Thursday rulings — though the president's Twitter feed certainly doesn't give off that impression.

Trump on Thursday fired off a tweet storm after the Supreme Court ruled that New York prosecutors can see his financial records, not allowing Trump to block a subpoena, although the court also said Congress can't access his records for now. In the New York case, the court also "sent the case back to a district court for more work," The Washington Post notes.
