Remember family hikes, summer camps, and fishing trips? Trump’s budget slashes funding for parks and environmental protections, all to hand billions in tax breaks to the ultra-rich. These aren’t just cuts. They are a betrayal of the places we all love.

“Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.”

In normal times, DOJ wins most of its cases because it has the resources to ensure that presidential actions are lawful. But under Trump, the Department is run by a sycophantic election denying enabler. The result is DOJ's credibility with judges is in tatters and it is losing case after case.

Trump has a very short attention span, gets frustrated when things don’t work quickly, and tends to demand fast changes in policy. That can be a threat to his own agenda as well as to the constitutional order, @dgraham.bsky.social writes in The Atlantic Daily.

#LawrenceO’Donnell’s on fire tonight! Love his wearing of Harvard’s tie & his humility in letting us know he is an alum. Grads or students have a reason to be so proud today. Hope you all show this courage in the days & months ahead that your school & LOD have done today.

I know there’s a phrase that perfectly describes what’s going on here but gosh darn it I’m blanking on it Maybe we can crowdsource this. The best I can come up with is I think it may rhyme with or sound something like “anti-magnetic lyco-bath.” Can anyone help?
