Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

The short version for those of you still hiding under your pillows: Reports of Trump’s “honeymoon” were greatly exaggerated to begin with; his approval numbers are historically flaccid; and the public generally hates a lot of what’s he doing right now. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

If Elon Musk truly cares about being "maximally transparent," he should release the forms showing his financial interests. Americans deserve to know how Elon Musk will profit from his role in the Trump Administration. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

A judge just blocked Elon Musk and co-president Donald Trump from firing the financial cops at the CFPB who protect consumers from Wall Street scams. There's power in fighting back.

These mass firings will set our country back but we are not powerless. We can all stand up for a government that works for middle-class families & working people—not just billionaires who will never need to call about their Social Security or file a disability claim at VA. apnews.com/article/trum...

No fights are the wrong fight to pick. Pick every fight. Fight these fascist fuckers every time about everything. Fight them even when they aren't fighting. If they run away, chase them and keep fighting them until they beg to stop and then fight even harder.

Forget the policy, just think how great the politics would now be if the ALP had dumped AUKUS when they won govt. OK Dutton go defend it. But nah. Greg Sheridan would have criticised us. Better stay the course.
