At this point the U.S. Constitution is in danger of becoming something like a restraining order, only stopping violence if everyone involved believes in its power, ineffective against those who believe more in their right to rage.

The author of this piece was an associate WH counsel under Reagan. He has a very polite way of explaining that what Trump is doing with DOGE is a coup. wapo.st/4hSE7Ox

Apparently the government is concerned about "people who will show up" but not actually making the roads drivable enough to get there.

I think it's worth repeating plainly that a federal judge halted Musk's federal funding freeze nearly two weeks ago but funds are still very much being frozen in violation of the court order.

“There are moments in the world’s history when people look back and ask, ‘Where were the lawyers, where were the judges?’ In these moments, the rule of law becomes especially vulnerable. I refuse to let that beacon go dark today,” the judge said.

Please remember something: if you had said a year ago that Trump would do even a fraction of these things, you would have been mocked, belittled, accused of “Trump derangement syndrome,” and dismissed by certain people. Identify those people and block and shun them.

The main beneficiaries of the Department of Education are disabled kids (IDEA) and working-class and poor Americans (Title I, Pell Grants, work assistance), so of course Trump wants to do away with it.

And ... that's actually the right framing? This isn't about making government "more efficient" or more productive; it is "anti-government" at its core. Musk called federal workers "the opposition," which says it all. He's a threat to our government, which is to say, he's a threat to all of us.

The central premise of Trumpism is that white guys are inherently the most capable and qualified people for any meaningful position. As a white guy who spends a lot of time with white guys, I can assure everyone that premise is fundamentally wrong

They want to ban the teaching of the unpleasant facts of American history because people might conclude injustices in the past that contribute to inequalities in the present should be rectified, instead of their belief, which is that some groups of people are inherently superior to others
