The fact that Musk has lost $100B over the last month but is still the wealthiest person on Earth and financially unharmed in the slightest—all while wealth and income inequality is worse now than it was after the Great Depression—is Exhibit A on why we need to tax billionaires out of existence.

New in PN: Ed Martin wages war on the rule of law from within "Martin’s refusal to sign off on an arrest warrant for hardcore MAGA Rep. Cory Mills manages to be both breathtakingly corrupt and downright disgusting, a scandal that would’ve dominated news cycles during any previous administration."

Trump EO to drop today to shut down the Department of Education: 1. An EO does not undo legislation, which is how DOE was established. 2. Trump is reminding everyone he "loves the poorly educated." 3. I hope Dems have a better plan than dressing in pink & holding arts & crafts at Trump's next speech

This is a wildly dangerous sign — the idea that there are only five SCOTUS votes for paying congressionally mandated invoices for work already done!? This should be as basic a test of Article I as you can get. And that does not bode well for decisions to come.
