This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

Here’s what is going on. When you start firing the military’s top lawyers, that means you are getting ready to order the military to do unlawful things. Trump replaces those JAGs with men who will justify any future unlawful and unethical actions that he wants the military to do.

There really is a Bible story for pretty much everything - when Israel asked for a king: "He will take 1/10th of your flocks, and you shall be his slaves. And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves; but the Lord will not answer you in that day."

Kash Patel cannot be confirmed! Schiff: I want you to look at Capitol police & tell them you're proud that you raised money off people that assaulted their colleagues Patel: That's an abject lie. I've never accepted violence against law enforcement. Schiff: You didn't accept it, you glorified it!

Here's a thing I worry about... the fallout from all these cuts—to nuclear safety, to air traffic safety, to food safety and stopping the bird flu—one of them will end up being our Reichstag fire. It'll be the excuse for Trump to declare a national emergency and really move against all opposition.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

I’m sure it’s just my TDS, but I think Trump is proving to be exactly as bad as we said he was going to be and people who acted like we were hysterical should be embarrassed they didn’t do more to try and stop it.

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

"Griffin isn’t alleging that a single fraudulent vote was cast, and he’s not claiming any irregularities with the final vote count. He’s simply trying to change the rules after an election, so that he gets more votes."

This is extraordinarily dangerous. Tomorrow, the legacy media will ask Republican officials about this. Those officials will lie and obfuscate. And the legacy media will move on. That is part of the crisis we face.
