This should be fun folks! DOGE remains an unconstitutional organization under the Appointments and Appropriations Clause. To say otherwise, is to put lipstick on an unconstitutional pig.

the thing is, people really do believe that trump can’t be corrupt because he’s rich, and it is hard to persuade people that trump has a different relationship to money than the rest of us (it is a literal fetish object for him)

Ghoulish. She won't even agree to help a worried mother know whether her son is even alive. Andry has been imprisoned without trial for 60 days, held incommunicado by the Salvadoran government as part of a deal where we handed Bukele a metaphorical briefcase of cash to detain hundreds of people!

Ah yes, Donald Trump, notorious disliker of having more money than he could ever need, whose motivations derive solely from his deeply held convictions. Very wise insight Senator Hawley!

It’s almost as if effective advocacy and leadership, whether for good or evil, can shape public opinion, and it’s possible to work to frame issues instead of passively responding to the way the opposition frames them and accepting their characterization of what is “moderate.”

WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism. Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.

No one assumes that a Republican-controlled Congress will hold Trump to account. Congressional Democrats need to start exerting pressure wherever possible to force the quislings across the aisle to exercise their constitutional power. Gift link: wapo.st/431rQCY

I always tell my students about my first semester of grad school. Everyone (myself included) was desperate to prove how smart we were—except one student. He’d just raise his hand and say, “I don’t know what that word means. Can you explain it?” That kind of honesty was so powerful. 1/2

Worth acknowledging how many Rs are adopting the Trumpian strategy of “I don’t know about x” to get past a question they don’t like. It’s childish and shows just how allergic to accountability they are.

This is absolutely incredible -- Kristi Noem repeatedly refuses to acknowledge that Trump brandished an doctored image of Abrego Garcia's tattoos, prompting Eric Swalwell to have a staffer of his brandish an image of them right in her face. Totally dystopian.
