At some point, either on his way out the door if that ever happens or some time sooner, there will be mass pardons so sweeping they make the Jan 6 one look tiny, for all the crimes they're doing, and there will be no overcoming that short of some kind of repudiating Trump's legitimacy as president.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

It's like a Russian nesting doll of illegality: Musk holds no office running DOGE, DOGE has no lawful authority to direct OPM, and OPM has no legal power to insert itself in the chain of command from agency heads to their employees.

Our system of checks and balances has stood as a bulwark against tyranny for 250 years. The way it works is no one man can dictate how our government works. Congress makes laws, the president executes the laws, and courts make sure laws and rights are protected. We give that up at our peril.

Fealty to Donald Trump will not spare you from his cruelty. It's strength — not weakness — that curbs his baser instincts. Now is the time for us to be strong.

What is wrong with Senate Democrats? There is a five-alarm Article I constitutional crisis. No votes. No attending joint session Trump speeches. No normal operations at all until all the illegal stealing of Congress’ authority stops. Why is this so hard?

This is an astonishing story. Trump's personal lawyers, now in government, are trying to find any prosecutor take on a case to stop payment of $20 billion in funds by claiming there is fraud. The fact that career prosecutors are resigning rather than do so tells you how weak the case is.

Not being sarcastic or glib, but what is the point of destruction like this? What does Musk gain from doing this? Is it really as shallow an explanation as “I want to just destroy everything.” But … for what? I get the attack on USAID, or the FAA, or DOJ. But what does this … do?

The NWS is some of the best bang-for-our-buck we get as taxpayers. Completely free, lifesaving forecasts cost us about $3 each a year and delivery at least $40 worth of benefit to each of us. That is a pretty damn good return on investment.

Musk is actively undermining air safety, potentially causing crashes, then awarding himself a $2.4 billion contract to fix what he is breaking? This is not conflict of interest, this is criminal insanity! Amount of money Musk is stealing from US is bigger than all his “savings” combined.
