It is a sad, sad day when the strongest and most forthright answer to a constitutional Grundfrage comes not from any Democrat but from Louisiana’s rightwing Republican Senator John Kennedy — in his response to Trump lawyer and Solicitor General nominee John Sauer, who… waffled.

“You wouldn’t think … a Federalist Society member and former clerk for the archconservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia would show more grit in the face of Trumpism than the entire leadership of the national Democratic Party, but here we are.” www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Amazon-owned Whole Foods asked regulators to dismiss union election results at a Philadelphia store, citing Trump’s firing of two leaders of the NLRB. Without NLRB enforcement, there’s nothing to force Whole Foods to abide by the election. Except US. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

POD Save America: Did D.E.I. cause fhePotomac crash? “We don’t know that.” Hold up there, cow pokes. This is EXTREMELY UNLIKELY — without the patently bigoted presumption that “D.E.I. Hires” are UNQUALIFIED, which is totally unsupported by reliable evidence. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

It may be a prevailing attitude in corporate America. But it’s no way to run a government of, by, and for the people. The burning question now: How much will we, The People, let them get away with?

Essential reading — from Timothy Snyder. Addendum: Trump would be NOTHING without the support of millions. “The Trump phenomenon looks like it has a much more solid social base,which neither Hitler nor Mussolini would have had.” That’s the really scary part. www.newyorker.com/magazine/dis...

Disgusting. Bottomlessly disgusting. Can we set up a GoFundMe to protect this American hero — who has faced (and will face) death threats from Trump’s vile minions? www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

OK, we need to focus on what’s being done and not on what he’s saying. Snark is an empty distraction. Still, it should never be overlooked: this is the stupidest person ever to run for the presidency (as well as the vilest) — and win. And that DOES matter. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

If just TWO more Republicans vote against Hegseth, the most grotesquely unqualified candidate for a cabinet post since… Matt Gaetz… this disgraceful nomination will fail. If one or both of your Senators are GOPers, call or write to them NOW — and urge them to vote NO on Hegseth.

Lawless — and classless — from the git-go. It now appears that the Trump administration will start off with violation of federal law — thanks to the aid of craven sycophants in Congress. In its way, this is perhaps as appropriate as flying the flag at half-staff during Trump’s inauguration.

MAGAts are using thuggish intimidation to deter witnesses from appearing at the Hegseth hearing, deter spineless Republicans from putting America First — even constraining theFBI background check (as in the Kavanaugh hearings…) www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

One of the things I worried about most in the prospect of Trump returning to the White House: flagrant, unbridled corruption — on a scale perhaps never seen before. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/07/u...
