I really feel like the Bulwark people are increasingly aware that they're pretty much the only right-of-center commentators with moral values and a commitment to the constitutional order. In other words, they are classical liberals first, conservatives second, and Republicans last (or not at all).

Catching up on this Musk Oval Office appearance and, optics aside, it's like a brave explorer holding a press conference from the first peak in the Dunning-Kruger range. Just so much confident opining on stuff that even casual observers can spot as completely wrong.

in what meaningful way can we say that the constitution is in effect when an unelected and unaccountable billionaire is wielding state power to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations?

And there it is: Russell Vought is confirmed. I wrote a long profile of him, his worldview, his political project: He’s one of the architects of Project 2025, an avowed Christian nationalist, and a radical ideologue of the “post-constitutional” Right. He is at war with pluralistic democracy.

The insurrectionists have seized power. They are purging their enemies. Does the broader public have a sense of how extraordinary this moment is?

A new era of government censorship has begun. It started with the silencing of scientific speech, when the admin blocked release of research on bird flu. But MAGA has also cracked down on other wrongthink—on race, geography (!), and of course Trump himself www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Fox wouldn't even trust Pete Hegseth with their weekday morning show and now he's in charge of the missile launchers.

Meet the Ideologue of the “Post-Constitutional” Right   Russell Vought, one of the architects behind Project 2025, believes there is nothing left to conserve. He desires revolution – and to burn down the system.   New piece:

Trump’s great government purge begins. I’m less worried about the Musk-Ramaswamy silliness than I am about Schedule F, forced relocations, and other punitive measures, like Bannon’s promised “rough Roman justice.” wapo.st/3Z3A3V3
