Trump is getting weaker. But ”it’s critical to treat every day as if he’s growing stronger…we should assume he will intensify his hateful agenda to hold onto power & save his own skin. That means we must keep applying pressure until he has been removed.”

There are billions of dollars of data center projects currently underway in the United States, with hundreds of billions of dollars more planned. This pitch is going over great with many politicians — but it’s falling flat with a large and growing coalition of regular people.

(2) seems to be an even more dubious point than (1). first because agencies are shaped by congress as well as executive appointments, and second because the agency rule-making process is more transparent and democratic than top-down decrees from political appointees
The theory of the unitary executive is that (1) the constitution requires it and (2) you get democratic accountability through presidential control through the power to remove agency heads. (1) is dubious (2) seems ridiculous at the present moment.
