Once again, I am promising Democrats there are literally thousands of former department of justice people who will crawl over broken glass to prosecute this administration given the chance
A large banner of Donald Trump was hung outside of the Justice Department headquarters in Washington, DC, emphasizing the White House’s control over the nation’s top law enforcement branch that once pursued criminal prosecutions against the president. https://cnn.it/4cBCqW7

Yes. As a capitalism-sympathetic social democrat, I believe we have a duty to markets to ensure money can act as a disciplinary measure. We have literally reached the fail state of money. Elon can lose 90% of his wealth and functionally lose no practical value. We broke the invisible hand.
Correct! Go after them to fix democracy, because they exist like blackholes that warp the fabric of society. Money is power and they simply have too much of it.
It will not work, and is wrong in principle

If you are in a government in Minnesota and your response to your constituents begging for help is to say that you can’t ruin the budget, you need to resign. This is an occupation by the federal government designed to ruin our lives. There is no status quo. Every priority has changed.

And after all that, the Pitt/Cruise AI fight scene appears to have been just digital BG and face replacement on multi-angle green screen reference videos of two real live human stuntees fighting.

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance.
And you know why?
Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.
