None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Call it the Musk-Trump Veteran Firing Program. Nearly a third of the federal workers are veterans, and the figure is much higher at DoD. Musk and Trump are going to fire tens of thousands of American veterans, on top of the thousands they already fired. “Thank you for your service, you’re fired.”

Trump has seized the archives, the article explains, because he feels the prior archivist played a role in revealing he had classified documents piled up in an unsecured bathroom at his tacky golf club. Once again, we all have to suffer because he got caught criming.

Another reminder tonight that MAGA’s ONLY ideology is devotion to Trump. When Trump said let’s extricate America from the rest of the world, focus on home, no more wars, no nation-building, MAGA cheered. But now Trump says let’s take over Greenland, Canada, the Panama Canal, & Gaza. And MAGA cheers.

Notably, Wall Street is quiet, apparently preferring to keep favor with fascists than to raise the rather important objection that the world's richest person and his friends having early access to, and the ability to manipulate, U.S. economic releases will be catastrophic to our financial markets.

All true. Even were it not, one could argue that, given the authority Musk is exercising, and his lack of accountability to anyone (other than perhaps Trump), he is serving as a principal executive officer under the Appointments Clause, and is acting unlawfully unless confirmed by the Senate.
