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...

I'm about to drop a piece at The Atlantic on this Pentagon purge. As I warned, Trump is capturing Justice, Intelligence, the military. This is praetorianism, pure and simple.

The past ten years has just been the same clutch of morons and apologists insisting that Trump would never cross that line and then shuffling along with him to insist that he would never cross that next one.

Have had a couple of folks reach out for my take on the Hamas “releases” today… The nice thing about being ethically and morally consistent, is that I don’t have to check anyone’s nationality or religion or skin color or name before deciding if something is good or bad.

Mitch voted yes?! That’s rich. I guess he was afraid of a prosecution if he voted no. Coward to the end.

Messaging matters. 31 days in. From below: “Once in power, the Nazis eradicated German democracy in a few short months. In his ﬁrst 100 days, Hitler abrogated the civil rights of all Germans, set up concentration camps, and initiated anti-Jewish policies. This cleared the path for the Holocaust.”

… “only the President or the Attorney General can speak for the United States when stating an opinion as to what the law is.” That is a LIE.

repeating myself a bit here but trump can issue an executive order but that doesn’t necessarily mean shit if it doesn’t have a firm statutory basis. if congress lays out in law what the duties of a particular official are, then no, the president can’t decide those duties are something else
