My mom helped run a Social Security field office for most of my childhood. The population that these locations serve is overwhelmingly disabled, elderly, poor or some combination thereof. That’s who they’re looking to deny services and resources.

Chuckling at Gorsuch's dissent (joined by Alito) in the Special Counsel case, where the majority kicked the can a few days. "Apparently?" Based on an 1898 case? You're making a ridiculous 'originalist' argument that renders courts powerless and you don't have better cites? C'mon, man.

Judge Ho said NO to DOJ’s attempted corrupt dismissal of Eric Adams’ case. Usually prosecutors and criminal defendants are ADVERSARIES. But because Trump DOJ henchman Emil Bove is on defendant Adams’ side, Judge Ho appointed Paul Clement to be on the side of the American people. Points of light.

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.
