The question I am really struggling with right now is: What is "law & order" and the entire American constitutional order for if it isn't a Go Directly to Jail card for guys like Donald Trump and Elon Musk for doing exactly what they're doing right now?

🌈💫Did you know that government jobs used to be awarded through a patronage/spoils system? This changed in 1895 when Teddy Roosevelt implemented merit-based civil service positions.

The notion that Trump's "I'm king" tweet is "just trolling" or "a joke" presents an opportunity to recreate my just-joking thread (porting it over from the Bad Place): 1. I wrote my PhD dissertation on the social function of humor (in literature & film) and here's the thing about "just joking."

Murphy: "Hegseth got the job because he's the weekend news anchor on Fox, and Trump watches a lot of Fox and so he decided to make that guy the head of the DOD and our chief negotiator in Ukraine. Pete Hegseth is screwing it up badly, but of course he is ... all he knows how to do is read the news"

Media are missing this if they don't include it. Yes, Judge Chutkan just denied temporary restraining order in New Mexico v Musk. But judge signals plaintiffs have the better argument when this reaches the merits: That Elon Musk is exercising power in violation of Appointments Clause. ⬇️Key para⬇️

"Law and order" in the Trump era: if you bow down to the head of the U.S. government, he may help you - whether you're awaiting trial for sex crimes in Europe or doing time in the USA for physically assaulting police.

I used to be guilty of wanting this, but in hindsight it was all about not paying $800 for a hammer. Not about ruthless efficiency or profit. Not that some level of efficiency is bad. Fuck doge (in case my comment above is misinterpreted)

“A January poll found that 54% of Dems wanted congressional representatives to work with the Trump administration; only 46% wanted relentless opposition. One month later, only 35% of Democrats want relentless cooperation and 65% want all out opposition.”

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Is this where the US is headed under the Trump dictatorship? Will we become the Republicans' slave labor? The way that agencies that protect us are being gutted by the Muskrat and his DOGE-bags I do wonder if that is the unspoken goal. RESIST! Protect our agencies!

One reason the press is being very cautious about talking about a constitutional crisis is that the top Democrats in the country are talking about high grocery prices. Try to imagine it from their perspective: how do they report on a "crisis" that even the opposition doesn't seem to acknowledge?

district judges have a lot of discretion in how they handle this sort of apparent misconduct. it's critical that Judge Kollar-Kotelly put Bradley Humphreys and whomever he received information from on the stand and question them under oath, ideally tomorrow.
