In the last election, one candidate was proposing coercive restrictions on personal liberty and replacing free trade and free markets with heavy tariffs and authoritarian favoritism. The other was Kamala Harris. Bezos personally killed an endorsement of Harris and celebrated at Trump’s inauguration.

The U.S. attorney in Washington says DOJ "will be vigilant in standing against entities" like the Associated Press, that "refuse to put America first." The AP's transgression is, apparently, not adopting the president's preferred name for the Gulf of Mexico.

1. The benefit of Trump's "shock and awe" approach to governance is that there is so much going on that brazen corruption goes virtually unnoticed. Consider Coinbase. It was charged by the SEC in 2023 with violating numerous laws. Now the SEC is dropping the lawsuit. Why? FOLLOW THE MONEY

DOGE is tearing its way through the US government, and NASA will not be spared. Elon Musk says he wants the agency to focus on Mars, but more than anything he wants to sideline traditional aerospace contractors so SpaceX gets even more money and power over the US space program.

The audacity of Vance scolding Europe for having annulled Romanian election results due to Russian interference, representing a president who violently physically attacked the US system of governance and refused to acknowledge his defeat, still claiming the elections was stolen, is simply disgusting

Elon Musk thinks the poor are a "Parasite Class", & his philosophical guru Curtis Yarvin has "joked" that they should be melted down into biodiesel. But this is a fascist ethos, & some say the true "Parasite Class" are those who have become grotesquely rich off the labor of others.

Trump picks Stephen Miller & Russ Vought are from AFL, which supports the “disincorporation” of the Establishment clause, an implied reference to the 1947 Everson case, which held that the clause requires a “wall of separation btwn church & state” & applies to the states via “incorporation”. 1/

Musk has sicced his followers on the WSJ writer who reported on a DOGE staffer’s racist online, history demanding her firing. This is a tactic Silicon Valley’s neoreactionaries have been advocating for years: Pick a reporter, dox and harrass, make an example of them, make everyone else afraid.
