A good, timely piece--but she leaves out the obvious solution: take DoJ out of the Exec branch & put it under the federal judiciary. Doing so would put DoJ beyond any president's reach in terms of politicization. Also, all USAOs should be career civil servants, not political hacks.

most journalists today can be divided into two groups: dedicated, impoverished people who mostly write for publications you've never heard of that started eighteen months ago or JP Random House The First, who writes columns for the New York Times about which ethnic groups it should be OK to hunt

No one alive will experience a better climate than today. But young people will experience a much more dangerous and chaotic world in the future, and the extent to which that happens will depend on our choices today. Trump doesn't care because he's old and a sociopath. www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/s...

In news unrelated to political hot takes, I got my prior authorization approved to start Zepbound for my weight! Diets have always been difficult to stick to for me and I've always been heavy, so hopefully this will help with losing some of that weight I've been steadily gaining since childhood.
