One Roberts clerk, one former Gorsuch clerk, and one future Gorsuch clerk. All working for DOGE to help Musk usurp the government. Like I wrote earlier today, the courts are not going to stop this.

Thinking a lot of the role of recording dissent, of the role of bearing witness. My mind goes to Sotomayor's Trump immunity dissent. "The relationship between the President and the people he serves has shifted irrevocably. In every use of official power, the President is now a king above the law."

They don't think the presidency has these powers, a democrat was president less than a month ago and they didn't think he had them. They just think America should be a dictatorship where they rule forever bsky.app/profile/jame...

In 2016 the NYT ran multiple front page stories page about the grave national security risk of Hillary Clinton's server. Today's front page, and nary a mention of the successful "plutocratic coup" (said by a sitting House member) or "constitutional crisis (said by a sitting Senator) unfolding

It may be more important to respond with something like, "Well he said he was going to do this...why are you surprised?" Voters need to learn to connect their vote with policies and not just "who they'd like to have a beer with." And they need to vote Dem for the same reason: policies.

This from @profmmurray.bsky.social is an excellent discussion of how the Supreme Court has used the idea of "privacy" to expand rights for men even while limiting them for women. #law houstonlawreview.org/article/7766...
