Shakespeare called it; this administration is firing lawyers because they stand for the rule of law.

Now that these illegitimate actors have been identified, time to make them famous. How many lawsuits can a 20-something defend against at once?

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Okay, so at the request of the lovely @trance.bsky.social , I'm going to tell a story about what happens when a shitty person is "just joking", and then discovers there are consequences. AKA That Time Kat Started An Antifascist Hallway Riot In The Third Grade. Grab your beverage of choice.

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

A lot of people add a coda of "don't obey later" to "don't obey in advance, and that's good, but I want to make sure we don't lose the full meaning. Obeying in advance isn't giving in before they make you. It's doing what you anticipate will be demanded, before it is..

I really wish all these people who want to be ruled by a king would just fuck off to a country that has one. Thailand’s pretty and has amazing food. They’ve even got lèse-majesté laws to stop people from upsetting your bootlicking souls.

It's weirdly difficult to remember that Trump's popular vote margin was /less/ than Hillary's in 2016. Biden got more votes in 2020 than Trump got in 2024 and Trump surrogates all under-performed in congressional races. This is not a mandate, I don't get why it is being portrayed that way.

This is horseshit. Let kids read what they want to read. That’s how you get them to love to read. This is like telling a first grader they need to do 100 pushups before they can play on the playground.

The constitutional order is totally inoperable & the president is delegating powers he does not have to people who have no business even being in these buildings Federal law enforcement needs to start deciding whether they have sworn oaths to the Constitution or a Mad King bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Journalists, please listen to @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social. Executive orders are not fiats and are not binding if the order attempts to restate the Constitution (birthright citizenship EO) or contradict existing federal law (too many to list).

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

And it’s worth law professors saying this bluntly. Don’t let professional niceties blind you to normalizing a ridiculously stupid and dangerous perspective as having any merit at all. Call it out clearly, while you still can.

The way an executive branch that respects the rule of law objects to a district court ruling it doesn’t like is to appeal it, not to imply that the ruling just shouldn’t be followed.

Just to say the quiet part out loud, the point of having unelected judges in a democracy is so that whether acts of state are “legitimate” can be decided by someone other than the people who are undertaking them. Vermeule knows this, of course. So does Vance.

Elon Musk’s staffers are still attempting to manipulate the Treasury payment system to halt the flow of funds following their recent losses. Reminder: U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly has restricted DOGE’s read-only access. No one is above the law.
