BREAKING: Federal judge finds, in multistate lawsuit, that Trump's EO targeting three entities — Institute of Musuem and Library Services, Minority Business Development Agency, and Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service — likely violates the APA, Take Care Clause, and separation of powers.

This, of course, is the point of DOGE seizing control of the payment system. Fewer pesky layers of bureaucracy that might be pressured to comply with the law.

It’s easy to wear a half dozen cabinet-level hats when your only real job is to be a Senate-confirmed animatronic rubber stamping the real orders coming from Elon’s boy band wrecking crew.

Whoa, wait, now that the government is riddled with conspiracy crackpots, do we have a window to sell all the morons who need to believe something anti-establishment to feel special and different on actual science?

Fox News' Jesse Watters met with "the DOGE boys" for their "nightly meeting," including... Big Balls. The meeting was led by Elon Musk, who the DOJ has insisted in court does not lead DOGE. I did not see Amy Gleason at the meeting. cc: @annabower.bsky.social

Casar: If anyone ever doubted that Trump, Musk, Bezos, and the billionaires are all on one team, just look at what happened at Amazon today. Bezos immediately caved and walked back a plan to tell Americans how much Trump’s tariffs are costing them. Bezos who spent 40 million on Melania’s documentary

For what it's worth, it was kind of eye opening to try to turn an LLM into Trump and have it give more coherent hallucinatory answers than Trump's actual answers.

We have not even begun to find a way to politicize the gross corruption of the Trump Administration. Just the outright firesale of impunity for people who pay him for it.

Everything Radley said. Except he means "censorial" not "censorious." And, yes, this is the most pedantic hill I will die on. But, Brendan Carr, who Trump declared was a "free speech warrior" is the most anti-free speech FCC commissioner ever.

Cool. Cool. The hotel I stayed at for SXSW just emailed me to apologize for accidentally undercharging me while I was there, and now, a month later, making me know that they've made it up to me by... charging my card for the full amount they originally intended to.

This is deranged. Jan. 6 defendants were repped by one of the best public defender offices in the U.S. They were more likely to be released pretrial & got comparatively light sentences. SCOTUS threw out a bunch of convictions, which almost never happens. They got gold-plated due process!

This is a CREATION of a rift, as much mainstream reporting is. That's true, first of all, bc NEITHER of these two foci are limited to Democrats.

The most toxic journalistic bias is not corporate ownership or even deference to power. It is boredom. A reporter who has had to explain why X is a lie three times doesn’t want burn copy doing it again, and will rationalize omitting it on the grounds that “everyone” knows by now.

Literally a discussion over lunch today - "Nothing in the book moved my abysmal opinion of Zuck, but now my already poor opinion of Sandberg can't possibly get any lower." That was quickly followed by "it's clear these people deserve to be in jail. They knowingly have blood on their hands."
