Trump went to the South this weekend. Not to visit flood victims in Kentucky, but to have his security drive him around a race track. He doesn’t give a shit about you or your needs. He’s on a vanity tour for the next four years.

Media introduced “czar” as slang for special portfolio assignments over 100 years ago. In 2010, Fox targeted the press term “health czar” as Obamacare code for looming Bolshevik tyranny. Tea Partiers mobbed DC to protest Obama’s royal pretensions. “We don’t have kings!” read some protest signs.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Scoop --> Trump-Musk cuts just resulted in the firing of numerous top researchers at NIH's center for combating Alzheimer's, sources tell me. They predict big setbacks to fighting dementias. This cause was once championed by Republicans. Details here: newrepublic.com/article/1917...

The Church brave needs men and women who will say that bigotry wrapped in religion is still bigotry, that Christianity was never supposed to be about power—and that Jesus doesn't give a damn if America is first. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-americ...

Using our “global strength” to force an invaded country into concessions with an invader makes us complicit with the invader. It’s like returning an abuse victim to the abuser’s home. Shameful. Wrong. Un-American.

I wanted to come up with an analogy to describe Trump's absurd plan for Ukraine. Something like... "Imagine if Mexico invaded America and then met with Canada to decide how much of America they should keep." I quickly realized my analogy was something most Americans would welcome right now.

These are talking points straight from the Kremlin. It is clear that Trump’s plan to “end the war” is to remove Zelenskyy, replace him with a Putin stooge, and then let Putin take over Ukraine.

We deserve to be hated, unfortunately. I harbor the responsibly as an American for having participated in the failure to stop this. And it is my responsibility to stop it. And it is yours. Self-government confers responsibilities on citizenship. Wake the fuck up, America.

A 2-1 panel of the D.C. Circuit has left intact a lower-court order that temporarily reinstated Hampton Dellinger atop the Office of Special Counsel. media.cadc.uscourts.gov/orders/docs/... DOJ has already said it plans to go to #SCOTUS, which would make this the first Trump II case to get there.

Utter failure to grasp what we are facing www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/u... 1. People lack the framework to recognize an attempt to overthrow the constitutional order 2. The lack of elites acting like point 1 is true makes it illegible. Without Ds behaving as if it's a crisis, it's not a crisis.

This is horseshit. If you fear protests will lead to martial law then you already live under martial law — and you’re the one who declared it. Plus, it won’t lead to a declaration of martial law and the fear misconstrues the nature of the threats we face.

There'll be no deal about Ukraine without Ukraine. America has no ability to enforce it, any more than it has the right to enforce it. If it attempts to insist on one, it will be one of the most shameful moments in its history. And one of the most humiliating.

Looking as if the Admin will push to have the first Supreme Court case be the appeal from the ordered reinstatement of Hamp Dellinger to head the Office of Government Ethics. The law says he can only be fired for cause, which they didn't even try to show. They will say that law is unconstitutional.

bottom line on Dellinger case: complicated procedure but on merits, a frontal attack on having Congress set for-cause removal provisions at all, i.e a test case for a key aspect of the unitary executive theory. cd be a vanguard ruling in the deconstruction of the administrative state. seriously.
