BREAKING: In a stunning moment, renowned journalist Scott Pelley just highlighted how Donald Trump is working to stifle free speech in America, and how he plans on fighting back. This is huge.

"While Trump retains the ceremonial position of Head of State, signing executive orders with flourish and basking in symbolic pageantry, Musk has effectively become Head of Government, wielding unprecedented control over federal agencies."

Here's the reality. The only enforcement that the courts have (including the Supreme Court) is that the Executive Branch & Congress executes what the ruling says. If Trump ignores it, then all Congress can do is impeach him. And we all know what cowards there will definitely not do.

NEW: The actions of Trump and Vance in recent weeks highlight something under-appreciated. The American right is now ideologically closer to countries like Russia, Turkey and in some senses China, than to the rest of the west (even the conservative west). My column: www.ft.com/content/3046...

Got an email from DOG(e) asking me to send him 5 bullet points on what I did in his service over the last week or he was going to fire me. Of course, I think I can bribe him with some cryptotreats.

Earlier I posted about Lachlan Morton's Ride from Auckland to Wellington in a day. Rapha created a short video of the ride. Really cool, esp having the grainy video of the Brian Fleck doing it (along with him and his wife in the video). content.rapha.cc/us/en/story/...?

#Musk is really close to the rails on this ... Maybe it is all the Ketamine -- side effects of which are lowered attention span and blurred vision, engagement in dangerous behaviours, neglect of responsibilities, distorted perceptions of reality. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBTI...

Residents of Trumpistan. Saw this while out walking the dog today. In colonial money they are $2.50. Of course, these are 'woke' eggs but my guess is you would suck it up to get your hands on these babies as they were more important to you than democracy. #eggs #TRUMP
