Perhaps the road ahead we haven't yet pondered isn't the Congress standing up to the Executive, or even the Judiciary, but some alliance of the two to wrangle a "soft landing" authoritarian democracy?

How complex. A man white knighting and interrupting a trans woman to protect her, ultimately taking away her own agency in the situation. It's good to see allies standing up, I just hope it was discussed before, or will be now, between the two Reps McBride and Keating.

Zuck was only ever as kind as he was forced to be. He always wished he could be Elon.

Often when Trump talks about Greenland or Gaza or Canada or a third term or, well, a lot of things, I think back to this.

Look, folks, this is it. The entire ballgame. Either we're a Republic of laws & the Constitution, or we have a dictator. This is fascism, & the impeachment vote should be happening today. Every single university president in the country should be out, in front of microphones, condemning this.

No joke, I set aside a chunk of my Roth IRA in January to just invest for fun purely on the theory Elon Musk has become a dysfunctional egomaniac, and how it would play out in politics/business. I'm doing pretty alright, all things considered. Anyone wanna invest in my fund?

Armed government agents went to the home of a lawful resident of the United States without a warrant and arrested him over the content of his speech. This is a five-alarm fire for civil liberties.

Don't miss the global perspective on this: The US right media is attempting to infect, bolster, and coordinate efforts of Canadian far right media, to embolden the movement in Canadian society.

#teslatakedown was lightly attended in Austin today due to the mega-rally at the State Capitol headlined by Senator Warren, but I was happy to talk at least one would be Tesla purchaser to ditch the Toxic Muskmobile and move to Rivian. finance.yahoo.com/news/cybertr...

You can have the cops come beat the shit out of your students to prove you’re not a filthy commie and they’ll still do this to you and all you’ll have done is show everyone what a pathetic little coward you are. Might as well do the right thing the first time

You know what always gets me? Every area businesses overlap is inefficiency. We have like 5x infrastructures to do internet, delivery, etc all bc they all have to compete. Even if FedEx is more efficient per package, it requires a whole market of massive redundancy to inspire it. USPS just does it.

Trump is transactional. He’s trying to sell out Ukraine. So, the question is—who’s buying Trump? The Kremlin, by buying the Trump crypto coin. And if the president wants to prove me wrong, then release the records like I asked. youtu.be/nV8Ss2-IcZg

Guaranteed if Trump announced the shut down of DOGE, and criminal investigation of Elon Musk, he would get a full congressional applause.

One does wonder if sitting in the first SotU to start the downfall of democracy in the US had some effect on ACB and Roberts, though I'm sure the opinion was written a while ago, maybe the confusing and tentative nature is due to a last minute changeup?

Trump is literally using Putin's line that we support the people of X place to choose if they want to join the US. Is Trump backing Putin to normalize the move before he grabs at Greenland?

Trump just stood up in front of Congress and announced Elon Musk is in charge of DOGE, which directly contradicts the government's representations in court. @dahlialithwick.bsky.social

Nothing but impeachment for Trump, and criminal charges for him and Elon Musk would derail this train. That's not happening. This may end with a constitutional amendment of some kind in the best case scenario.

People don't seem to understand we are past a point of no return. These people aren't going to stop unless stopped by some truly unprecedented uprising in the Congress. The question now is what is going to be left after the next few years. We are in "constitutional convention" territory.
