Look, I love Jon Stewart as much as the next millennial, but the dude is wrong about the “overuse” of the term “fascist” when applied to Trump. If the German Chancellor thinks Trump and his administration are fascists, I’m going to take their word for it. youtu.be/tWesfBwg9cw

What Ilan Wurman and Randy Barnett are doing isn’t best understood as legal scholarship. It’s more like wartime public relations, or like SEO. It’s creating bullshit that will give dishonest judges a pretext to pretend that there is a serious constitutional dispute. They’re fascism’s fixers.

3rd day in a row on the golf course while Musk runs the country. He didn’t even know yesterday that the head of the Social Security Admin resigned, and didn’t know SpaceX employees were working at the FAA/DOD, and claimed Medicaid wasn’t being cut when it’s being cut massively.

Having dealt a bit with USG inspectors general, I’ll keep banging this drum: If you actually want to ferret out waste, fraud, and abuse in the USG, then you empower agency inspectors general. You don’t fire them en masse and bring on a bunch of amateurs to purportedly perform that task.

"Last year the Supreme Court gutted the rulings that reined in Nixon, and now Trump and Elon Musk are running the government as if they are the only law in the land. They insist they are 'saving' the country by burning down its institutions, and they bogusly claim a mandate of the people to do it."

First, it's Administrator. Second, the energy standards are at DOE not EPA. Either way—Trump has no idea how government works, yet his ridiculous post led DOE to freeze commonsense appliance efficiency standards updates - first established in my 1987 law. We deserve better.
