The fact that NBC can (accurately) call the Administrative Procedure Act “obscure” just shows how little Americans know about how their government works.
It literally is one of the most important laws ever enacted by Congress.

"Arbitrary and capricious"
A law that requires federal agencies to follow the correct process when making changes in policy is becoming a big hindrance to Trump and his shock and awe makeover of the government.
New, from me 👇

This obscure law is one reason Trump's agenda keeps losing in court
Lawsuits challenging Trump policies raise big constitutional questions, but they also rely on a law that requires the government to follow the correct procedures when changing course.

i mean, the president's executive order isn't a goddamn law! as far as this doctor is concerned, who cares what the president says!
A New York City doctor said he will continue providing gender-affirming treatments to his patients younger than 19 despite President Donald Trump’s executive order aiming to ban such care.
New York doctor says he'll continue providing transition care despite Trump executive order
As legal battles are fought over an executive order restricting transgender care for patients younger than 19, some clinics continue to provide the care, while others are backing off.

The idea that it’s undemocratic to use the powers given to you under state law to remove a corrupt mayor who is essentially being bribed into complying with an administration that’s breaking the law every minute is ridiculous.
Earlier today, Gov. Hochul was asked whether she's considering using her power to remove Eric Adams as mayor.
" That does not feel like something that's very democratic," she said. "That's why I'm not going to go there."

jokes aside, the really interesting thing to me here, and with similar posts from other right wing pundits complaining about the performance that I've seen is that there seems to be a mass delusion that Trump's win represented a total cultural victory, not a narrow win in a low enthusiasm election

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models.
In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.

Slicker, savvier Dems are hoping a big part of the base will instantly forget the last administration's militant support for genocide and ethnic cleansing, backed by its entire foreign policy team, very much including Samantha Power. But moral rot smells bad. It does not inspire
“Killing USAID Is a Win for Autocrats Everywhere”
Samantha Power, who served as USAID Administrator for all four years under President Biden, writes about the danger of losing USAID.

Oh boy, there's more. At a presser minutes ago, Jeffries says he's powerless:
JOURNALIST: To what extent will Dems withhold votes in the negotiations?
JEFFRIES: Repubs control trifecta, it’s THEIR govt. What leverage do we have? We’re going to continue to try to find bipartisan common ground...

This is what I think of as a specific kind of ignorance that heavily affects young white guys who work in tech. It says “i don’t know about this, so I assume no one else does either.” It’s new to them, so it must be new to everybody!
