This post started from a sense of puzzlement. The US constitution expressly provides that it is for Congress not president to set trade policy. Yet Trump is setting not only US trade policy but recasting the entire international trade system, by executive order. How was this possible? My answer.

So Trump didn't know about the soldiers... and they didn't tell him about the Signal chat... who's really running the White House?

“It’s a sad spectacle to see a law firm …rendering itself into an instrument for lawlessness. It’s also a cautionary example of how lawyers should not conduct themselves as the Trump regime proceeds with its effort to replace the nation’s justice system with one governed by cronyism and corruption.”

There’s a civil war going on in America, even though we don’t know it. It’s being fought in every government department, between resistors to, and accomplices to, autocracy. It’s being waged in the courts, in the media, and civil society. And it’s not over
