What happened today reeks of insider trading. Trump’s tweet wasn’t random—it was a signal. Someone cashed in, and the public deserves to know who and how much. Follow. The. Money.

That is some weasel-ass framing. Let's try this:
Emboldened Racists Impersonating Federal Agents Are Kidnapping Random Minorities
That actually gets the point across. Because getting people to read even the first line (which includes the federal crime of impersonating an agent) is gonna be tough.

This is an absolutely remarkable memo — and a betrayal of both the Constitution and the American political tradition. In the US, by *explicit contrast* with interwar fascist governments, the state is not supposed to be an extension of the personality of the chief executive.
![Office of the Attorney General
Washington, D. C. 20530
February 5, 2025
MEMORANDUM FOR ALL DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEES
FROM:
SUBJECT:
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
GENERAL POLICY REGARDING ZEALOUS ADVOCACY ON BEHALF OF THE UNITED STATES'
"[E]xecutive Power." More broadly, attorneys are expected to zealously advance, protect, and defend their client's interests. Department of Justice attorneys have signed up for a job that requires zealously advocating for the United States.
The responsibilities of Department of Justice attorneys include not only aggressively enforcing criminal and civil laws enacted by Congress, but also vigorously defending presidential policies and actions against legal challenges on behalf of the United States. The discretion afforded Department attorneys entrusted with those responsibilities does not include latitude to substitute personal political views or judgments for those that prevailed in the election.
When Department of Justice attorneys, for example, refuse to advance good-faith arguments by declining to appear in court or sign briefs, it undermines the constitutional order and deprives the President of the benefit of his lawyers. It is therefore the policy of the Department of Justice that any attorney who because of their personal political views or judgments declines to sign a brief or appear in court, refuses to advance good-faith arguments on behalf of the Administration, or otherwise delays or impedes the Department's mission will be subject to discipline and potentially termination, consistent with applicable law.
' This guidance is not intended to, does not, and may not be relied upon to create, any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:y2tqoxl4zx7iuyh3rhbhdwv3/bafkreic4hwhm45xtfe5w2yb3y27ye4zw72ch2l2jydx3avbn6yxwllwbqi@jpeg)

Hey! Remember Republicans saying "Obamacare will make death panels to kill your grandma!"? Then you should probably go check out chapter 14 of the Project 2025 manifesto. Because every Conservative/Republican accusation is a confession.

and feeding into this are media elites who refuse to take the nazification of the american right seriously because (1) they go to dinner parties with these people and (2) since its uncouth to be a nazi, no one in the public sphere can *really* be a nazi
Pretty remarkable to see relative "normie" conservatives using language that would have gotten them banned from pre-Elon Twitter.
There was always a white nationalist undercurrent in the GOP thanks to the Southern Strategy, but it's now become the dominant driving force.

The Nazification of the right is self-reinforcing. You have to laugh at Nazi jokes and use their coded language to prove they can trust you. And if you’re not in the club you don’t get the influence or the perks. Eventually they start perceiving it as the norm because they’re soaking in it 24/7.
